Eberron novels?

[Jeff Wilder]

I've pretty much hated fiction based on gaming since the original Dragonlance novels. (That is, I liked the DL books, but have despised everything I've tried since, with the exception of a few Shadowrun novels by the late NF.) Everything about Eberron so far has surprised me, though, and I desperately need some McLiterature, so I decided to take a chance on City of Towers, which I'm enjoying. (Another Eberron surprise.)

Does anybody know offhand what Eberron fiction has been published so far, chronologically, and what's coming up? I know the information is out there on the web somewhere, but (as I said) I don't read gaming fiction, so I'm not sure where to look, and I'm frankly too lazy to do the work of finding out, since somebody here probably already has.

You can use this nifty link to see all the Eberron fiction published and planned so far.

I have a copy of the City of Towers, the first book in the Dreaming Dark series, but I've not had a chance to read it yet.

That is perfect. Thanks very much.

I don't know when I'll get around to reading it, but I do intend to read it.

Currently I'm trying to read the last two books of the Black Company (Glen Cook), the Misenchanted Sword (Lawrence Watt-Evans), and the final book of the Fionavar Tapestry (Guy Gavriel Kay). And that's just what I currently have checked out of the library.

I liked City of Towers very much, but Marked for Death not so much.

I liked City of Towers very much, but Marked for Death not so much.

I like the Crimson Talisman as well.

Marked for Death was too tightly tied to D&D. You can practically see the characters in the book rolling for initiative in each combat.

I totally agree about Marked for Death, but I feel that way about many of the new novels that have been put out by WoTC. City of Towers is an exception, however, and I really enjoyed the story. Taking into account that Keith was a first time novelist with that release, it was an impressive showing. He did a great job of developing his characters and it didn't feel too much like a game.

Looking forward to book two at the end of this year.

I agree about Keith and City of Tower's. I truely felt a tie to the characters and got sucked into the story like only a really good book can do. It felt 'real' and made Eberron and more importantly Sharn come alive.

Marked for Death was rather disapointing, it seemed choppy and well... seemed to have a clumsy feel to the story. In hindsight I agree it read almost like combat rounds etc. I'll prolly still read the other stories but I dont have high expectations from them.

Crimson Talisman.. its out?! *forgets about everything else to go find it....*

City of Towers was a good read, much better than the average D&D based novel. I will be starting Marked for Death today so hopefully it's good enough to atleast finish.
