Glorious Barbaric Fantasies from Howard, in his darkest mood,
By Galahan "Galahan" (Seattle) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sowers of the Thunder (Hardcover)
One rainy night, in Paris, opposite to the Gothic church of Notre Dame, I happened to found myself in an archaic looking, yet beautifull in its own way, bookstore of Shakespeare&Co. Browsing through the old books, my eyes caught the glimpse of this shining star. Sowers of thunder, barbaric stories from middle ages, central asian steps, from empires long forgotten. A Turkoman myself, I was mesmerized by the tune of stories, stories of tatar, seldjuki, and ottoman warriors from the creator of the fantasy fiction. Here you can find the origin of red sonja, when she is defending the city of Vien, against the mighty army of ottomans when they have sieged the city. A must book for everybody who's looking for the darkest blood frenzy stories from an era long became an history.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: The Sowers of the Thunder (Hardcover)
In my opinion, this is Howard's best work. These are historical fiction stories set primarily during the crusades. The writing is beautiful and intense and the characters full of life. I highly recommend it.
