This review is from: The Reaver Road (Paperback)

An author who I feel is not really given the exposure he deserves in Europe, his books are near impossible to buy in the High Street Bookshops. A publisher somewhere is missing out on a very big pot of gold here. To get hold of his books you will either have to order them from Amazon UK/Europe or even from Amazon US for his early works, but believe me it's worth it! Duncan is truly one of the top modern day fantasy authors offering a smart alternative to the moody, darker side of the genre which seems to be the way most authors are going these days. Reaver Road is the first of his Omar books and sadly Omar only appears again in Hunters' Haunt; This is a typical Duncan read filled with sharp wit, a twisted plot and the expected surprise ending of Omar a teller of tall tales who seems to bring out the `big fish that got away' story from everyone he meets. Another romping good read from an author who I am lucky enough to have nearly a complete collection from. I am unashamedly a huge fan of his books and have yet to read one that is less than top quality.

If you call yourself a fantasy fan and are yet to sample his books, what's a matter with you? For beginners with Duncan I would recommend the Great Game series, the Seventh Sword series or the A Man of His Word series. Beware, once you start his books you won't be getting much sleep.

Not a lot of action but very well written. A treatise on the art of storytelling, and human behavior. Laugh out loud funny, lovable characters. It's Dave Duncan, you know it's good.
