    <body><![CDATA[I read McKirnan’s <em>Iron Tower</em> trilogy many years ago.  I was looking for something like <em>The Lord Of The Rings</em>, as I recall.  Boy, did I get it.  Sort of.  I remember having a difficult time getting through the trilogy, perhaps that I didn’t finish it.<br/><br/>Now I know why.

    <body><![CDATA[I see that a lot of reviewers have given this series one star because it is a rip off of Lord Of The Rings.<br/><br/>Yes, there are a lot of similarities, especially the whole journey under the mountain.<br/><br/>But, I like these characters.
