Blood of Ambrose by James Enge
5.0
Excellent fantasy fiction adventure!
I came the work of James Enge through Goodman Games' "Takes From The Magician's Skull" (sword-and-sorcery fiction of the sort that inspired Gary Gygax to compile "Appendix N," the list of authors and books that inspired Dungeons & Dragons) , and loved the adventures of Morlock Ambrosius, so I sought out more from Amazon. I was delighted to find more collections of stories, but this is the first novel-length work that I've read - and it was really great! Enge has a wonderful imagination and excellent style (and he is a fellow classicist, and therefore more familiar with elements of grammar, vocabulary, style, linguistics, etc. than the average writer). Highly recommended!
