3.0 out of 5 stars The First Greyhawk Novel by Gary Gygax, August 16, 2001
By 
JH "hobbs_tx" (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
"Saga of Old City" tells an epic story of one young orphaned adventurer that grew up in the Slum Quarter of the Gem of the Flanaess, Greyhawk City. The adventurer's name is Gord and the story begins with the loss of his only caretaker, a mean old crone named Lenna. Gord overcomes many obstacles to just survive the dangerous parts of the Greyhawk City. On the way, Gord experiences a mixed bag of outrageous fortunes and ill luck. I liked this novel and consider it like a diamond in the rough. The overall style of the novel leaves a little to be desired. The novel seems a little rushed with too many adventures thrown together. The last couple of parts are jumpy and leave out the interesting details that make the early part of the book so intriguing. I do recommend this novel especially for those who are familiar with the Greyhawk setting. The novel does offer richness to Greyhawk and gives life to the races of Oerth like the mysterious Rhennee. Another thing to note is that the events that occur in this book happen well before the current time in recent publications and the Flanaess have changed a lot since then.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite book EVER!, September 30, 2004
I had a friend give me this book to read when I was 13 and read it atleast 5 times before I gave it back to him. I asked him years later when he was home on a visit from the navy and he said sorry man my mom thru all my old books away. Can you believe that?? Anyway, I finally have found it again at age 32 and let me tell its even better then I thought! I was concerned maybe I outgrew it or something but no way as Gary Gygax is an absolute genius and it shows most I think in his books. I also want to point out there are several more books to this series all of which are great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greyhawk, October 15, 2005
By 
The first novel in Gygax's Greyhawk setting is a good one. It is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but it is a fast and fun read. The story continues in Artifact of Evil, at which point Gary and TSR parted ways. He then took his Gord the Rogue series to another publisher and come out with Sea of Death, Come Endless Darkness and Dance of Demons. There is also a collection of short stories. TSR has published other Greyhawk novels, but none have been as good or fun as the Gord the Rogue series.
