This review is from: Robert E. Howard's Gates Of Empire (Hardcover)
A collection of sword wielding historical types, in general.
Gates of Empire : Red Blades of Black Cathay - Robert E. Howard Gates of Empire : Hawks of Outremer - Robert E. Howard Gates of Empire : The Blood of Belshazzar - Robert E. Howard Gates of Empire : Lord of Samarcand - Robert E. Howard Gates of Empire : The Sowers of the Thunder - Robert E. Howard Gates of Empire : The Lion of Tiberias - Robert E. Howard Gates of Empire : The Shadow of the Vulture - Robert E. Howard Gates of Empire : Gates of Empire - Robert E. Howard A veteran Crusader, now less gullible, falls in a saving act. Nursed back to health by a creamy cheeked smart woman, he now has a small problem to deal with named Genghis Khan. 4 out of 5 Skull shield and cursed sword make Cormac Fitzgeoffrey a scary man. 3 out of 5 Cormac has no time for fools or butchers, but jewellery will pay the bills. 3 out of 5 A young Scotsman watches a battle go awry, but later is happy with a home in the area, and the chance to do some claymore wielding Turk lopping, but it is a very dangerous business. 2.5 out of 5 Manly playing with large shafts in pubs is cut short by some battles, and the Mongol hordes descend on Jerusalem. Yet another Gael finds himself in the thick of it, with a similar life expectancy. 3 out of 5 Mangled princes, and a captive crusader that a Turkish ruler finds rather too supernaturally resilient for his liking. 3 out of 5 Not much sorcery to be seen in this historical adventure, but it is the origin of the character that Roy Thomas and others adapted with such success for Marvel in comics form, so of interest to fans of Conan and Red Sonja as she currently stands4 out of 5 Drinking, swordplay, lots of yelling, politics, and a bargaining woman. 3 out of 5
