I loved this fantasy set in what seems to be Duncan's version of ancient Sumeria or Babylon. A really intriguing main character - is he a god or isn't he? - lots of action, lots of great storytelling. ( ) Standard Dave Duncan in that this is a fun, very readable fantasy with agreeable, intelligent characters. The Reaver Road is one of two books featuring Omar the Storyteller (also see The Hunter's Haunt). In this case, the story is about Omar and his chance companion Thorian being caught up in an intrigue of war, gods, treachery, and lust. The players act (sort of) as real people might, and are characteristically upbeat and optimistic. All in all, a lighthearted bit of fun in much the same enjoyable vein as most other Duncan books. Ein Geschichtenerzähler und ein Krieger geraten ein eine groß angelegte Intrige, in der der Kriegsgott zur Rettung der Stadt Zamandon erscheinen soll. Duncan erzählt in seiner gewohnt humorvollen Art, in der die Protagonisten vor Selbstironie nicht gefeit sind - aber in diesem Buch leider ziemlich vorhersehbar, wahrscheinlich vor allem, weil ich (fast?) alle seiner anderen Romane auch kenne. "Die Straße der Plünderer" gefällt mir zwar auch, aber nicht gleich gut. Fortsetzungen sind wahrscheinlich nicht ausgeschlossen. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieThe Omar Books (book 1)
This fantasy by the author of the Seventh Sword series offers "a madcap mix of outrageous prose and superlative wit" (Times-Colonist, Victoria B.C.). Omar is the finest storyteller the world has ever known, captivating audiences everywhere, from the fires of soldier camps to the plush residences of nobility. In times of turmoil, people can still appreciate a good tale that offers respite from their troubles. But as hordes of barbarian soldiers surround the unvanquished city of Zanadon after ravaging the surrounding countryside, few things are certain any longer. Omar has been guided to the city by prophetic dreams, yet finds himself in an increasingly dangerous situation as the people grow more desperate and the gift of a glib tongue turns into a curse.
