It begins with the reunion of Imaro and his kidnapped lover Tanisha, who has been taken to the ruined City of Madness. With the help of their new found friend Pomphis, a Pygmay from the eastern forests of Nyumbani, they learn of the sorcerous forces that may have been behind the dark wizard that destroyed Imaro's youth. The trio goes to Mavindi, the port capital of the Eastern Coastal kingdom of Azania, in search of the legendary Kingdom of Cush, where Imaro hopes to find answers to the questions that have plagued his life. Who is he? Who was his father, and why was he seemingly cursed, and hounded from birth by forces beyond his control.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In Saunders's exciting sequel to Imaro (2006), the fearless black warrior Imaro and his faithful pygmy sidekick, Pomphis, set out for the city of Cush, where they hope to rescue his beautiful lover, Tanisha, who's been kidnapped (but not ravished) by the evil Bomunu. Along the way, Imaro and Pomphis must overcome fierce storms and treacherous sorcerers with weird bodies, among other obstacles. Once the pair reach Cush, Tanisha has some wonderful news for Imaro. First published in 1984 and now considerably revised, this straightforward sword-and-sorcery adventure will resonate with fans of Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian. (Feb. 26)

This review is from: Imaro 2 : The Quest for Cush (no. 2) (Paperback)
In a day where Robert Jordan and Terry Brooks are passed off as great fantasy writing I just want the baser pleasures of great swords and sorcery. Weaned on Burroughs and Howard, Saunders is great. Thank you Night Shade Books for bringing him back into print.

This review is from: Imaro 2 : The Quest for Cush (no. 2) (Paperback)
... to the land that Imaro roams! This is one of those books that actually pulls you in and makes you want to be exactly where Imaro and Tanisha are. It took me a little longer to read this book because I kept day-dreaming about the battles, the lands, the forests, and... well... Tanisha! Imaro gets into situations that seem impossible for him to get out of and the quiet warrior is a thrill to read.
Like I said in my previous review of 'Imaro', I'm not a big fantasy fan but this story was good enough to keep my attention. Don't be like me and almost miss a GREAT story because this isn't your genre. Read this book NOW and you won't regret it. I loved this book and I'm loving this series! There isn't a date for book #3 yet but I hope it's soon!
4.0 out of 5 stars
