Wings Over Talera
by
Charles Allen Gramlich (Goodreads Author)
Talera is a world of warriors and heroes, not all of them human, a world where sailing ships ply the skies as well as the waters, and where beasts are as likely to hunt men as be hunted by them. On Talera, beauty and steel are equally dangerous companions, and sorcery is the deadliest of them all.
Ruenn Maclang is a 19th-century Earthman mysteriously transported to this w

As a kid, I *loved* the work of Robert E Howard and Edgar Rice Burroughs. That spirit lives on in the work of Charles Allen Gramlich.
His hero, Ruenn Maclang, is an earthman stranded on the alien world of Talera. With a quick wit and a strong right arm, Ruenn has made a life for himself and won the love of a beautiful princess.
But in this second book, Ruenn faces a villain like none he's encountered before. Without giving away any spoilers, a strong right arm can only do so mu...more

Book two continues Maclang's adventures across the planet of Talera. Sword fights, the love of a good woman, all the elements are there. If you love this type of story, this series is the one to go for.
Ruenn Mclang battles across Talera in search of his brother, Bryce. A misunderstanding with Rannon puts Ruenn's new found love at risk, and alienates her Father. Setting off with warriors loyal to him, Ruenn survives numerous traps and run-ins with the witch Vohanna, and the death of his cousin Eric. I enjoyed this second part of the Talera trilogy very much. The introduction with Ruenn delivering a new manuscript of his adventures at the beginning enhances the tale. First rate sword and sorcery...more
I really enjoyed the nonstop action of this thing, and learning it was originally presented in a serialized format answers some of the questions as to how it is presented. Somehow, that makes it even better. After reading a few other books lately that, while good, also left me sort of bummed out, this one was a perfect palate cleanser. Great, swashbuckling action with a hero I can really cheer for. I'm quite eager to read the third and final installment; this is good stuff.
I wrote the first few chapters of this book right after I finished with Swords of Talera, but then stopped because I wanted to try and sell the first book before I spent time writing the second one. After Swords was serialized, I finished up Wings and it was serialized by the same magazine group. Again, it was revised for book publicaiton.
Wow! This book was cover to cover action. The main character, Ruenn Maclang, went from one fight to the next to the next to the next. The book is about 220 pages and I read it through in a day. I just couldn't put it down.

I grew up on a farm in Arkansas, and I fully intend to retire right back to that same farm. But not yet. I came to Louisiana in 1986 to teach Biological Psychology at Xavier University in New Orleans. I've been there ever since, although I now live in a semi-rural area outside Abita Springs, Louisiana.
