Dark by name, dark by nature........2007-09-13

Malus Darkblade is the latest in a line of "Dark elf" type heroes that can be tracked back to Elric via Drizzt Do'Urden, but he has a twist. Unlike his progenitors who rise above their heritage to show some redeeming features, a touch of humanity, Malus is a complete died in the wool swine of the first order, he's an incestuous, homicidal, sadist who'd like nothing more than to flay you alive, simply for his own amusement. His only redeeming feature is his courage and resilience in the face of his equally appalling family and their attempts to destroy him. Yet ghastly as he is, in the world he inhabits you almost find yourself rooting for him as his opponents are even worse.
Dan Abnet writes fairly prolifically in the Warhammer format, yet the choice of scenarios available to him give him sufficient options to be original within its confines. Malus gives him the chance to exercise his fantasy muscles rather than the Sci Fi of Eisenhorn and his creation is dark, devious and deadly. Well worth checking out.

Darkblade's adventure.......2007-02-02

Highborn Lord Malus Darkblade, an especially brutal dark elf, returns on a raiding party succesful, until someone unleashes a trap and kills all his slaves (i.e. profits). Broke and hunted for his debts, Malus takes a few of his retainers (or slave/bodyguards) and goes into the wild Chaoes Wastelands in search of a legendary city with untold treasures that will set him up for life and allow him revenge against his brothers and sisters that are trying to kill him. Along the way he runs into the half human beastmen that inhabit the wild frontier, makes (and brakes) several ties and deals to ensure his survival. But it is the twist ending that makes this book really intrieging. Maybe ending is not the best way to describe the end of the book, since I found out this is actually the first of a triligy (and a longer running series featuring Malus). This is dark fantasy at it's most brutal, as I am sure any 'Warhammer' fan already knows. The characters are all hedonists who only care about themselves, and only look out for others as a way of self reservation. Malus is cold, ruthless, not above lying, stealing, and out right murder to achive his duboius ends. This is one of those books where there are the bad guys and then there are the worst guys. The violence is at a high, almost carciture level, think of it along the smae lines of the "Evil Dead' movies, so over the top it stops being gross after awhile. The end is interesting, and I can't wait to see how Malus gets out of the situation he is in. If there is a problem it is that the book is so relentlessly grim with no decent people to root for, though there is a certain rouge charm to Malus, and you do root for him to triumph. I like this book, and can't wait to get into the next one.

Too Random...IMHO.......2006-11-20

Alright, so I picked up this book with a recommendation from a relative of mine. I looked at these reviews and was pretty excited! It sounded like it would be a great book...In short, it was extremely random, there was no character development (even for the title character) and I felt that the writing wasn't too great either.
One thing that really got on my nerves was the overuse of the title "retainer". Malus was always surrounded by them and in battle scenes the word was useless. You never know what retainer he is referring to. Not that you get to know any but three by their names, And even then they aren't referred to by them that often. Seriously, I really could have gotten into the characters of Dalvar and Lhunara, but there is no attempt to develop them. I also got tired of the term "Cold One", the "named" characters should have at least had "named" mounts.
Secondly, where in the world is the story line? It's like, " go find power"..queue up the many random uninteresting battles (where you only get to know what Malus is doing). I thought the battle scenes were extremely bland. The enemies were underdeveloped and random. Not to mention that you had no sense of layout. It was just chaos, but maybe thats what the author was going for.
Lastly, the one thing that kept me reading, until the rediculous battle with the "glutinous scythe-armed monsters" was that it still might be fun since Ol' Malus is supposed to be such an evil fellow! He is the biggest wimp! There were no qualities that made me like him OR hate him. I had more emotion towards the under developed supporting characters. It wasn't enough to keep me going.
All in all I was completely disappointed by this book. I was excited from the hype of it all, and when I was reading the beginning couple of chapters I saw great potential for the characters, and then it all completely vanished. Malus is probably the most boring character I've read about to date. Maybe I'm missing out on something because I'm not into the Warhammer series, but if that's the case, this is a very user unfriendly novel.

The Daemon's Curse: A tale of Malus Darkblade.......2006-11-07

Malus Darkblade has no redeemable virtues, so why do I care what happens to Him? It is a testament to authors, Dan Abnett and Mike Lee that I do. They have created one of the most interesting protagonists in my recent memory. Malus Darkblade is the bastard son of one of the most prominent dark elves in Hag Graef. In his quest to prove he is worthy to be called his son he manages to out evil every other dark elf I have had the pleasure of sinking my literary teeth in to. The Darkblade books (4 so far) are a raucous rollercoaster ride of violence and double-dealing. the Warhammer universe is rich in history and beautifully realized in these books. Pick them up, settle back and let the bloody ride begin!

Ubermonkey says thumbs up!.......2006-10-18

THE GOOD: This a very good book! Dan Abnett nails the grim world of the dark elf in the grim world of the Warhammer universe. His writing style is terse and he holds nothing back. I truly enjoyed each scene as they were displayed before me.

THE BAD: Only if you have a weak stomach will this be bad. The dark elf society enjoys much carnage and Abnett likes to show as much as he can (without be sickly gratuitous).

THE UGLY: Malus...conniving, evil, smart and darn ugly!

Ubermonkey says that if you are looking for grim, dark fantasy with no real protagonist, this is for you.

Book Description

Matthew Sobol was a legendary computer game designer--the architect behind half a dozen popular online games. His premature death from brain cancer depressed both gamers and his company's stock price. But Sobol's fans weren't the only ones to note his passing. He left behind something that was scanning Internet obituaries, too--something that put in motion a whole series of programs upon his death. Programs that moved money. Programs that recruited people. Programs that killed.

Confronted with a killer from beyond the grave, Detective Peter Sebeck comes face-to-face with the full implications of our increasingly complex and interconnected world--one where the dead can read headlines, steal identities, and carry out far-reaching plans without fear of retribution. Sebeck must find a way to stop Sobol's web of programs--his Daemon--before it achieves its ultimate purpose. And to do so, he must uncover what that purpose is . . .

Superb Concept!.......2007-08-13

When I read the synopsis of this book, I was enthralled. The ideas are fresh, the plot is original, there's nothing like it. Who would think that a DEAD person can murder, read headlines, commit identity theft, hack computers, and carry out devious plots? What's more? No one can exact revenge against him for he is DEAD! The story is set in an affluent but charming city of Thousand Oaks, California--a place that holds a significant presence in the Tech Coast. Chapter 1 of this book is also an attention grabber. Written flawlessly with just enough tension, it started with a problem: the burst of outbound Internet traffic. It was the author's writing style and his technical knowledge that compelled me even more to read, besides the high-concept. The dialogue between the two techies speaks so much about his credential in the computer world and his expertise in gaming industry was obvious. He used lots of high-tech words such as kernel rootkit, packet sniffer, intrusion detection, ethernet port, etc, without needing to explain. However, this book has some weak points. One is the sex scenes, which in my opinion ruined the author's sophisticated style that he projected in the very beginning. Two, he spent too much time describing scenery and I found myself skipping lots of pages without loosing the story. He described one scene through Graggs eyes, but at that point, I was very EAGER to see him in action! To give me that breath-stopping action...pounding his keyboard for destruction, and head to head with the authorities. Unfortunately, he disappeared at this point and didn't come back until much later in the chapter. The same with Sebeck, the main character in the book. Some of the dialogues towards the end of the book slowed down the pace of the story....and having 432 pages made it worst. I found myself exhausted in the end. I couldn't wait for it to wrap up. However, the plot compensated for it all. For this alone, this book deserves a high recognition and worth recommending.Cold Eyes

DAEMON => Definitely Worth It!.......2007-05-13

I read Daemon in two nights and loved it! Unlike most mainstream thrillers, this one has a highly original story and interesting characters to boot. You really feel like you're exploring worlds you never knew existed. If you enjoy Neal Stephenson and some of Michael Crichton's EARLIER work, then chances are you too will love Daemon.

** ORIGINAL AND EXCITING THRILLER **.......2007-05-13

Daemon is one of the best high-tech thrillers I've read in years. This book came out of nowhere. I heard about it from a blog I read, and the synopsis and reviews from other readers convinced me to buy it. By the second chapter I was hooked. The intensity just kept building. Things that seemed to be unrelated, later fit together and begin to function as one. It's really got me looking at modern society a bit differently, and maybe that's a good thing.

Daemon is a great novel and I'm waiting (impatiently) for the sequel.

Excellent High Tech Thriller.......2007-05-01

Daemon incorporates many current and near-future technologies. Zeraus' vision of our use and misuse of technology is both intriguing and disconcerting. The author spins an exciting tale and all the while you're thinking, holy crap, is any of this actually possible? Or worse - maybe it's already here.

I visited the Daemon website and there is a page dedicated to many of the technologies used in this book. In fact, the website has a synthetic voice to guide you. It's hard to appreciate this until you've read Daemon. A female, British-accented speech module known only as 'The Voice' plays an integral role in the novel, and it's not your typical alien-sounding voice either. It's alarmingly realistic.

Here's a list of some relevant technologies used in the book:

MMORPGs (very creative use of Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games)
Voice Recognition/Synthetic Voice Systems
News-reading bots
Acoustical weaponry
Hypersonic Sound
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)
Haptic clothing
Fab Labs
Digital Ink
GPS/Geo-caching

There's quite a bit more, but it's how the author rolls it all together to create something new and (at least for me) wholly unexpected that makes Daemon such a fascinating book. Buy it. Read it. You won't be disappointed.

better than expected.......2007-01-27

I received my copy of Daemon as an advance copy from the publisher. I really wasn't expecting much, thinking it would make an effort to be extra-nerdy and end up appealing to noone. I was very pleasantly surprised and greatly enjoyed the book. Some of the technology descriptions were a little over done, but it's tough to get across some technical points to a mass-market audience (I'm a computer scientist). I thought many of the ideas to be quite original, and found myself wondering "hmmm, I wonder if this could really work...". If you enjoy some technology with your thriller and want to read a book that you won't want to stop reading, give Daemon a try.

Daemon World - Great 40k read !.......2006-07-10

WHile still pretty new to the genre I found myself well absorbed by this and other great 40k reads from BL. Daemon World is complex, lots of very well developed characters, smooth transitions and action. The heros in the story attain lofty power and abilities that reminded of the invincibility of Matrix's Neo, which takes action to whole new level (for me anyway). The main characters are simply too cool with their personalities and actions making for a very memorable experience. With sci-fi material like this and "Storm of Iron" why not movie yet :( ?

Interesting........2004-09-26

If you participate in the tabletop gaming hobby that this novel is based on, you should enjoy this. If you begin reading this book with the same degree of interest in how a Chaos world functions as I did, then hopefully, you will travel through each description with a similar level of patience, objectivity, and warranted awe.

Ben Counter's descriptive style is on par with the best writers Games Workshop/The Black Library have to offer. He was able to develop different characters that drove parallel plotlines and expertly tied them together as the story came to its conclusion. The surreal battle sequences are described with the masterful strokes of a painter, revealing vivid images within the mind's eye. Some of the battle sequences bring to mind a hypothetical synergy of 'Battle of the Pelennor Fields' in the Return of the King movie, drybrushed by Pinhead from 'Hellraiser'. It is epic in scale and for those of you who have sympathetic leanings toward the 40k concept of 'Chaos', you will understand when I say that many passages in the book are equally repulsive/seductive.

Other novels by Ben Counter, include "Grey Knights" or "The Bleeding Chalice". Both are equally as memsmerizing.

WOW! AN EPIC WORLD DESTROYER!.......2003-12-20

Man, Ben Counter is one visual masterpiece monster writer. This has got to be one of the all-time eye opening, jaw-dropping novels of the year.
Not only was I immensely drawn into the book by it's deliciously and devilishly looking cover and interesting synopsis, but catapulted into a universe and world of monstrous proportions.
This is some story. If you think this is a bad read - then you are a plain idiot, hands down! Ben Counter pulls no punches, takes no prisoners in this massive world building, legendary novel. It reads so beautifully, but after seeing the movie - RETURN OF THE KING - the battles there almost seemed tame in comparison to this one.
Now, I would love to see the battle for the citidal in this book! Rivers and lakes of blood with daemons and mutants out the ass to kill - now that would truly be a sight from hell.
Ben Counter writes and drives a storyline on like a Mack truck through your living room. Not only is he visual, but the story itself unfolds and ends so unexpectantly, it will surely keep you up at night, reading, shaking, and sweating.
A must read for sci-fi/fantasy fans. Ben Counter, you have a new fan.

Why, why, why?.......2003-07-31

Why do I constantly find myself at odds with reviewers of Warhammer 40K novels? The only review of this book as of this date is extemely negative. I really enjoyed this book, especially the Princess Charybdia and her twistedly evil city of pleasures. I've never really expected WH novels to be great Hugo-prize winning novels of Sci-Fi---they're just a lot of fun to read and they put you into a fantastic gloomy surreal mood. Give this novel a chance. I really liked it.

Sweet medieval.......2005-07-21

She was an angel cursed down by a witch, from there; this read like a historical romance. There were more elements throughout the story questioning her being a real angel or perhaps nuts(?). But for the most part I forgot what she was. Daemon is a true tortured Kinley MacGregor hero/lord. The villian was perfect and added humor. Glad I found a copy.

Cast to the mortal realm by an evil sorceress, Arina had more than her share of problems. She was trapped in a temptress's body, tormented by untested passions, and doomed to lose any man she desired. Yet even as Arina yearned for the safety of the pearly gates, she found paradise in the arms of a Norman mercenary. The villagers said Daemon was the devil's son, but he was only a man plagued by strange dreams--visions of a tantalizing beauty who enchanted him like no other, Then the enticing stranger appeared in the flesh, and he vowed nothing between heaven and earth would keep them apart. But to savor the joys of his very own angel, Daemon would have to battle demons--within and without--and risk his very soul for love.

KENYON fans beware! Not a DH novel!!.......2004-04-17

As a primary angel, Arina didn't have emotions, couldn't feel pain. When she takes the soul of a boy, his mother curses her. Only the death of a loved one in her arms can free Arina from her human body so she can become an angel again.

Daemon, branded and named a demon, only wishes to fight in hopes it will bring his death. Instead, the Norman finds himself the unwilling Lord of Brunneswald Hall. Finding a gorgeous woman who has lost her memory and isn't afraid of him also wasn't part of his plan.

Sherrilyn Kenyon fans beware! I have read ALL of her stories and love them! HOWEVER, I didn't like this story!

Daemon is a tortured hero, cursed in the eyes of God and very worthy of being a Dark Hunter. But Arina is a religious fanatic and I didn't care for her at all. With other medieval romances I've read the author(s) either toned down or lost completely the religious aspect of the hero/ines life. Having religion in the story became old; then it drove me nuts! While I can accept religion, I don't want to read about it. I think Ms Kenyon has done a good job at keeping religion in her heroines' life, but at the same time is what turned me off.

Arina is probably a great Angel, but I think I'll stick with Dark Hunters. The story was depressing, and I was a tortured reader (with this as my reading material on an international flight!!) so I can't recommend DAEMON'S ANGEL.

A great angel/medieval book.......1998-06-09

I've read every angel book I could get my hands on and this one was fabulous. Daemon is the most tortured, sweetest hero I've ever read. I wish I could give him a hug. The medieval background was also so well done that I felt like I was there with them. An incredible book with the most memorable characters you can imagine.

A Masterful Exploration of a Fascinating Subject.......2005-02-18

Having taught Chinese Philosophy for some years, and having recently begun to teach a course on Chinese perceptions of "nature," I was pleased to come across Roel Sterckx's book. It answered questions I had often raised to myself, and it introduced me to a fresh new layer of interpretation of many classic Chinese texts. To give but one example, Mencius' story of the king sparing the ox has much greater poignancy after reading Sterckx's account of the intricacies and ritual demands of the ox sacrifice in ancient China. This is a text that anyone who has every taught Mencius, Zhuangzi, or Confucius should read. It is also a good place to start for branching out into the thought and culture of the Shang & Zhou periods.

I cannot recommend this highly enough to readers and teachers of classical Chinese texts.

This book contains a very interesting story and adventure of a West African Hunter in a dreadful forest, who eventually found the secret of lasting happiness and peace of mind. The author is Daniel Fagunwa. Wole Soyinka, a Nobelist translated the story. This book had 140 pages of jam-packed action.

The reader is easily swept away by many adventure of the heroic hunter in this book. The story is captivating, and emotion-ladden, and by the time the reader hit page 20, you wont feel like dropping the book until you finish reading it.

Although it contains some archaic thoughts about superstition and magic, it is a really good adventerous book I've read.

Sure to appeal to anyone with an interest in fantasy literature, The Dharma of Dragons and Daemons employs a Buddhist perspective to appreciate some of the major works of modern fantasy, and uses modern fantasy fiction to elucidate Buddhist teachings. In the tradition of David Loy's cutting-edge presentation of a Buddhist social theory in The Great Awakening, this pioneering work of Buddhist literary analysis, renown scholar David Loy and Linda Goodhew offer ways of reading modern fantasy-genre fiction that illuminate both the stories themselves, and the universal qualities of Buddhist teachings. Authors examined include J.R.R. Tolkien, Philip Pullman (of The Amber Spyglass trilogy, from whose works the word "daemon" is borrowed in the title), Ursula K. LeGuin, and the anime movie Princess Mononoke.

Not for scholars.......2005-11-27

As a graduate student specializing in religion I found this book wanting. If you're looking for a "soft" approach to finding spirituality in popular culture, then this book may be for you. Despite the autho'rs credentials this minimally researched book acts more as a stepping stone to creative thinking about identifying basic Buddhist concepts in fantasy writing than a serious attempt at scholarly inquiry. Often the connections are weak, but I commend Roy for his attempt because the field definitely needs more books that attend to Buddhist themes in popular culture. Instead, I would refer readers to the "Philosophy and XX" series that looks at specific movies/books such as The Matrix, The Lord of the Ring trilogy or The Simpsons.

You don't have to be a Buddhist or a fanstasy reader.......2005-10-03

This is an enjoyable ( and rare) look at Buddhist themes in Western literature. I picked it up for the section on the His Dark Materials trilogy, but was drawn into the section on Tolkien, and was introduced to several works I had never heard of. Just as a book does not need to be explicitly Buddhist to illustrate Buddhist concepts, you don't need to be a Buddhist-or a fantasy reader- to enjoy the literary and spiritual insights of this book.

The Dharma of Dragons and Daemons: Buddhist Themes in Modern.......2004-11-16

The Dharma of Dragons and Daemons: Buddhist Themes in Modern Fantasy is a compilation of research examining the presence of Buddhist themes in popular books and movies. Traditionally, the main method of presenting mythology and legend was the oral tradition. Whether these stories were completely true, partially true, or completely fiction was not important to the purpose of the story as the aim of these tales was to reinforce particular culture specific themes, dichotomies, or expected behaviours.

Popular movies and books are the modern equivalent to oral story telling, Even if these stories are completely fiction, the contents of these works include mythological aspects, culture specific themes, dichotomies, or expected behaviours. Though many popular works largely contain traditional Christian themes such good versus evil and the end justifies the means, other traditional cultural themes are also sometimes present. Thus, with the intention of identifying traditional Buddhist themes, the authors have explored several popular works including the Lord of the Rings, Momo, and the Earthsea series.

The Dharma of Dragons and Daemons: Buddhist Themes in Modern Fantasy is a fascinating read. The studies contained in this book are complete, well researched, and explained in an easy to read fashion. Thus, this book will be equally enjoyed by anyone interested in popular culture, the student of Buddhism, or the researcher looking for information on religion themes in popular works.

Most erotica is rather sloppily written, on the theory that the people who are interested in it are not, in fact, interested in literary value, but in sexual arousal; the authors and editors of this book understand, delightfully, that there are those of us out here who enjoy an arousing story who are sufficiently literate as to be completely distracted from our arousal by poor writing, and they have written a wonderful anthology of extremely arousing stories with plot, characterization, and coherent language. If that's what you want, this is the book for you!
