4.0 out of 5 stars Where's the sequel?, April 24, 2000

Aside from his 'anvil of ice' series, this is the work of Michael Scott Rohan that I like the best. It's about a series of mis-matched characters who get together to save the world in an alternate reality.

I got to the end of this book and wished for a second book to read more of these characters, because the characters grow and change with the length of the novel and I would love to see the continuation of that growth. Come on guys - get your act together and give us another book!

4.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant romp through an alternate history., August 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Spell of Empire Pb (Paperback)

The only reason that this doesn't get a five star is that it should go on... The world Scott Rohan//Allan Scott build richly textured, funny yet believable. It's rare to find a delicate enough touch to combine humour drama, and pathos, and still manage to suspend disbelief. I want a sequel!
