[QUOTE="Rackhir, post: 2458394, member: 149"] It's much closer to his "Dread Empire" books than the Black Company. Which are also a very good read, though unfortunately well out of print. If someone is interested in tracking them down here they are. [list] [*]Prequels[list=1] [*][i]The Fire in His Hands[/i] (1984) [*][i]With Mercy Toward None[/i] (1985) [/list] [*]Main sequence [list=1] [*][i]A Shadow of All Night Falling[/i] (1979) [*][i]October's Baby[/i] (1980) [*][i]All Darkness Met[/i] (1980) [/list] [*]Sequels [list=1] [*][i]Reap the East Wind[/i] (1987) [*][i]An Ill Fate Marshalling[/i] (1988) [/list] [*]Not yet published [list] [*]A Path to Coldness of Heart [*]The Cruel Storm [/list] [/list]I got this list off of Wikipedia and I just noticed that it mentions two more books coming!!! "[i]An Ill Fate Marshalling"[/i] ended in somewhat of a cliff hanger (nearly 20yrs ago!!), so I'm quite pleased to see this. Hmm, second thought it says "Not yet published" rather than TBA. Getting back to [i]Tyrany, [/i]I enjoyed it quite a bit. I found the bits with the Vikings to be the most interesting. The main conflict though has yet to fully reveal its self and that promises to be very interesting. So I suspect that a lot of this book is backstory and things will really get rolling in the subsequent books. I'm giving it a solid thumbs up. It's not much of a spoiler (you find out in the first 10 pages or so) that the humans have discovered a way to kill any of the magical entities in their world, including those worshiped as gods. Who needless to say aren't very happy with this development. This really doesn't start to substantially figure into the plot until the last third of the book. Of course all this takes place in the context of sqabbling human kingdoms, what are essentially multiple popes, possible religious crusades and the usual treachery, back stabbing + petty greed, pride and politics you find in such situations.
