[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 8104058, member: 16069"] [B]#096 The Mercenaries by Ed Greenwood (Double Diamond 3) Read 6/10/20 to 7/10/20[/B] [ATTACH type="full" width="185px"]127121[/ATTACH] Book 3 and the story of a fat man (who isn't fat) called Belmer and his crew to be, the seven surviving members of the crew of the Kissing Shark. There's a fight and some other action in a sea port tavern, and then to the high seas for adventure. Belmer is too cool for school and clearly a high level everything, the seven crew members likewise get some of their personalities out there- they're a scurvy bunch of wastrels but y'know- mercenaries, and ultimately likeable- save one of 'em. Bad things happen to the ship and crew, someone is after them, but Belmer and the crew are up to the job. The reader, like the crew, want to know who (or what) Belmer is- but he's mostly not telling. Oh, and this is all set in the Utter East, and on the Great Sea. One of the mercenaries- Kurthe, is a little more troubled than his companions- and crazy angry with it. Belmer versus Kurthe, it's a one-sided affair, and when the ex-slave is dead Belmer finally (perhaps) secures the loyalty/services of the remaining six pirates. That's it. Well written and semi-gripping in places, the real oddity is this is Ed Greenwood and very likeable, although that could be because it contains exactly 0% Elminster. Oh, last bit- Belmer's task is to find and kill Lady Eidolan (see Book 1). I'm enjoying these action adventure pamphlets, however that may just be because they're so very short and easy to read. Genuinely, this one was a delight. Read. [/QUOTE]
