At least, that's how I felt about this publication.

It's true that I already owned Book Club editions of "The Road to Ehvenor" and "The Road Home."

But I found over time that these books and their first person narrative, at the time unique in Rosenberg's 'Guardians' series, had become my favorites of the series. Perhaps that's because I found them to be such an interesting extension of the original ideas of the 'Guardians' series, as well as a stylistic change from those books. Or perhaps just because I was approaching the perspective of the age or period of life from which the narration of Walter Slovotsky is written.

In any case, as with most every Rosenberg novel, both of these novels are a great entertainment in their own right. With this new omnibus, I can give my old editions, with their aging slipcovers and yellowing pages, a well-deserved rest.

I really like Rosenberg's books. And I also really like having the books in the series from different points of view, different voices. Rosenberg doesn't write "great literature", he writes damn good stories. I know that when I pick up one of his books I am out of my world for an hour or two and into his which for that period of time, due to his excellent story telling talent and vivid imagination, is as real as my own. So I will happily plunk down money again and again to ensure that I can enjoy the company of Walter and his friends whenever the mood strikes me.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent pair of novels in one volume, March 13, 2010

This is an omnibus combining two novels from the 'Guardians of the Flame' series by Joel Rosenberg. Per usual, Mr. Rosenberg does a tremendous job of using compelling characters in an interesting milieu to move a carefully crafted plot forward. These novels are a transition point in the series as the focus ensemble cast shifts further towards the next generation or protagonists.
