[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 8649738, member: 8461"] I agree that this book was a lot of fun, which in hindsight makes me a bit sad that I never followed up on the rest of the trilogy. I seem to recall that I couldn't find them, and that I was starting to lose interest in D&D fiction in general; I did pick up book two, but it's still sitting on my shelf, waiting for me to sit down and actually read it. The third book remains one I haven't yet bothered to purchase. This was around the time that D&D novels were starting to become sourcebook happy, in that you could start to pick out exactly what products they were drawing upon.
