Product Description

MISSION to HELL

Just yesterday, Sergeant Gil MacDonald and his APC crew had been fending off an ambush in a Viet Nam jungle. In the middle of the firefight, some kind of magic spell had transported them to this Fantasy Land complete with flying dragons, wizards, crazy castles, and dispossessed princes.

They would stay trapped here forever unless they could rescue the sorceress Gabrielle. Master magician, Amon, held her captive in his palace; and to reach her, Gil and his men would have to infiltrate Hell itself!

4.0 out of 5 stars Sword and Sorcery in the tradition of Howard and Burroughs, September 3, 2000
This book made me realize why I started reading in the first place; it was *fun*. It captured my imagination from the start, showing a fleshed-out-world filled with real people, fantastic creatures, evil sorcerers and demons, dragons...in fact, just about anything you can think of.

Including, actually, an armored personnel carrier yanked out of the jungles of Southeast Asia to finish off said dragon, complete with her crew, led by Sgt. Gil A. MacDonald. Though the APC is sent home again, MacDonald voluntarily returns to the world of Coramonde some months later to help in a thronal war to set up the young Prince, Springbuck, on the throne that has been usurped by his half-brother.

Sound cliched? Sure, probably. But it was a great deal of fun as well. Daley's talents were rare--the sort of man who can write a brief love scene and insert it naturally into a battle sequence, or jump from the mindset of a 20th century soldier to a medieval warrior-prince in the space of a few pages. His dialogue is great, his world unique and fascinating, and his writing succinct and well-thought out.

If this book tickles your fancy, there's a sequel--_The Starfollowers of Coramonde_, equally well-written; also try Daley's _Requiem for a Ruler of Worlds_, _Jinx on a Terran Inheritance_, and _Fall of the White Ship Avatar_ for a more purely Sci-Fi series that's equally as fun. Also try Burroughs' John Carter of Mars series, or Ron E. Howard's Conan books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for a first novel, February 16, 1999
By A Customer
I can't believe this book is out of print. Brian Daley is an underrated Sci-Fi/Fantasy writer. He only had 10 novels pulished up until the GammaLaw saga. Fans should try to find this one. In it, Prince Springbuck, rightful heir to the throne of Coramonde enlists the aid of Gabrielle and Andre DeCourtney-a pair of sorcerers-and their friend Edward van Duyn from our reality. Together they transport Gil MacDonald and his armored tank-like machine to kill a dragon beset upon them by the evil wizard Yardiff Bey. Gil goes back to his time to retrieve some things, then returns to help Springbuck regain his throne. The story leads into the Starfollowers of Coramonde book. A pretty good story with the fantasy elements thrown around like afterthoughts. 4 stars cause it works.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite book, January 5, 2003
By "erickmunson" (Lakeville, MN) - See all my reviews
I re-read the Doomfarers and Starfollowers at least once every year. Mr. Daley was one of those authors who threw you right into the action within the first few pages and unfolded the history and detail as he went. Brian Daley served in the Army and it shows in the books attention to detail. I highly recommend.
