oath of swords, david weber

oath of swords
#1 of a series
by david weber

fantasy

copyright 1995

rated 8/10: really quite good

big tough guy from a misunderstood race goes round helping people. sort of lone ranger, complete with sidekick. a simple premise.

and a very enjoyable book.

the world is complex. yet its people and its history just seem so... right. references to past events just naturally fit.

and the key characters are so good. okay, the baddies are bad. possibly mad. the goodies are very likeable. even weak minor characters can have their good points.

when baddies pick a fight... they just don't stand a chance.

blood and thunder, action and adventure, from start to end.
a very enjoyable book.
