I am not an avid reader who spends time reading books. I like to do other things with my time. Then one day i was at the library and saw the cover. I said,"I'll get this one." Before you know it I had finished the book in 2 days, no other fantasy books have ever kept me readin like this except for the dragonlance books and so i looked for the 1st and 3rd books in the series to complete my readin but to no avail. All in all this book is fantastic, so if you are looking for a great fantasy novel this is the one to get. Dont take my word for it, read the other reveiws(and the book)and you'll see what i mean.

I read all four Death Dealer book years ago and think they are great but have always wondered if there will be a fifth one? read them they are great

I came across this book mainly for the cover art, but soon discovered the full series was an excellent read. I recommend this series for any one who is tired of the same old fantasy books that you come across everyday. Silke manages to take characters and make you really interested in them and what happens to them. Definately read if you like fantasy but want something a little different!!!!

An intriguing journey in life of one of Frazetta's more famous characters. "The Death Dealer." The complete series is difficult to obtaine, but well wothe it! James silke paints a story that is as captivating as Tolkens "Middle Earth" (only in a darker battle of good and evil.).

i am a fantasy buff to the max and have read literally thousands of books in the fantasy sci fi genre. i own quite a bit of money and spend the majority of it on books. but one day while looking in a used book store in san antonio texas i purchesed the death dealer series and have not bought another book since. i feel now that no book will ever compare in shear brillance of imagery and wording. James Silke is a true artist and genius. i would do anything to read more books from him. i have tried to purchase the mint condition set of these books but to no avail. and to this day my original set are my most prized possesions. if Mr Silke is reading this please publish more on the tale of Gath of Baal and Robin Lakehair and Brown John. i would seriously do anything to read more stories. i had thought at one time you may write an off branch of the years Gath left Robin between book 2 and 3. but i am afraid not. to anyone looking for the perfect book this whole series is it

thank you, kyle whiting

I have read all 4 Death Dealer books and thought they were all very good reads. Having been a fan of the Frazetta paintings and owning several sculptures I was glad to see the books come out. I bought them when they first came out, and have read them each several times. I gave my original copies to a library. It took quite some time to replace them. I was surprised to see how much they were going for. This character is so dynamic that I am shocked no one has brought him to the big screen. If anyone knows Zach Snyder, send him a copy of book one. The look and feel of "300" would make these stories come to life.

i've read all the death dealer books, own all them for several years. they have a special place in my mini-library of roughly 50-75 books. they are one of the series that i continuously reread. like the previous reviews, they are hard to find, but once you acquire them, they (to me) become more precious than gold. i've found all of them in a book store, or have had to order them through this website and barnes and noble. read the books, then you'll look at the new books differently.

This is by far the best epic fantasy I have read since reading Conan thirty years ago. It has everything: It's full of what you'd expect from the old style sword and sorcery novels. It is written well enough to be up there with the best of them, and kept me hooked from beginning to end. After finishing Prisoner of the Horned Helmet, I bought the rest of the books in the series and have never looked back. I envy people with the talent that James Silke has.

I wouldn't say I am person to read fantasy books nor a ficton reader to begin with. My father has a huge collection of books. I was looking through his books one time I saw four books with really cool covers. I was looking at the books to read one for a High School Book Report. So I picked up the first one because of its awesome cover. Read the book in one day! Couldn't put it down. Then I read the 2nd one the next day and so forth till all four were done. It's a shame the books are not easy to come by any more. I was fortunate my dad had already had all four. This is by far the best series I have ever read or will read!

I loved the death dealer nr3 from the beging tel the end , i recamed it for any action lover's ,the book send me to world i needed for awile .
