Classic Sci-fi as Good as Pulp Sci-fi!,
By Maximillian Ben Hanan (Sacramento, California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lord of Blood (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoy reading science fiction novels for entertainment, but still miss the heyday of pulp magazines and all the wonderful novelettes and stories they featured."Lord of Blood" by Dave Van Arnam was written in 1970, but the content is as classic as the sci-fi pulp novels of the 1920's and 1930's. The book itself is a sort of amalgamation of Conan novels, Indiana Jones featurettes, post-apocalyptic adventures, and a variety of exotic backgrounds. The story's protagonist, a barbarian named Valzar, is captured and enslaved at the beginning of the novel. The rest of the novel describes his experiences in escaping slavery through indentured servitude and beyond. Most of the novel would seem to be fantasy, but the world on which the story takes place is the ruin of a once proud star faring race before the bombs fell. Remnants of technology still survive as well as the effects of the great war. The book is a sequel to another novel by Van Arnam called "Star Barbarian." This book was a welcome bit of entertainment and I highly recommend it to sci-fi enthusiasts and role-playing gamers. Review by: Maximillian Ben Hanan |
