Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. Those who do know history are apt to repeat it in much finer detail.

With as much stuff as this book has going on in it, (ogres, zombies, magic, nazis, the list goes on)you might expect it to be an incoherent mess. You'd be wrong. It's told from beginning to end in a very straightforward manner through the eyes of a humble mercenary soldier, Flank Hawk.

He's just a guy trying to get by, doing his small part to hold back the undead forces that More...

In Flank Hawk, Mr. Ervin introduces to a future in which fantasy creatures and magic have become commonplace. What happens when the necromancer uses the doomed souls of Nazis to reintroduce technology? It’s up to a young man from a small village to put his life on the line to save everyone.
Why to buy this book: 1. The character arc reminded me a lot of The Deed of Paksenarrion by Elizabeth Moon, and I’m a sucker for that type of story. 2. The book is epic fantasy at its finest, featuring the st More...

Flank Hawk follows the adventures of a young mercenary as he strives to help defeat the army that overran his homeland. This very difficult task is more difficult than usual due to the presence of goblins, sorcerers, ogres, and zombies, as well as the appearance of technologies such as panzers and chlorine gas. Flank Hawk is helped by fellow mercenaries, seers, wizards, dragon riding cavalrymen, and many other fantastical characters.
This book jumps right into the action. From page one, the reade More...

Zombies are never a good thing. Souled zombies, ones that can independently think and act, are even worse. Then there are the goblins, ogres, seers, wizards, and more in this time nearly 3000 years in the future where magic is prevalent, dragons fly, and the evil necromancer king seeks to rule the world. The good people and creatures are far outnumbered by those bent on war and conquest. Those that can harness the most magic can turn the tide of battle –at least for now.

For Krish and his cousin More...

Dragons, zombies and panzers, oh my! Add in Stukas, goblins, ogres, m’unicorn war steeds and elemental monsters and you get an idea of what you’re up against. Flank Hawk is a smorgasbord of fantasy and modern technology and it all works. The imagination this author possesses is astounding. Mr. Ervin seamlessly blends all the elements into a book that you’ll find hard to stop reading once you start.

The story follows Krish, a wide-eyed farm boy who goes off to war against the Necromancer King. Thr More...

I knew something of what I was getting into when I chose to read this book. Within the first couple of chapters, there are zombies, ogres, goblins and dragons. And panzers. That’s panzers as in German WWII tanks. Heading each chapter is a snippet of seemingly modern-day technology-heavy action. This is a doozie of a tale. It’s as if the author wrote a checklist of all the fantasy elements he liked and threw everything into the mix. Wizards? Check. Golems? Check. Magic swords? Check. Cannons, rif More...

Krish, a recently new mercenary, along with his cousin, Guzzy, joins the fight against the Necromancer King. Along the way, Krish meets Road Toad, another mercenary with a lot of experience, but the battle hardened mercenary comes with a few surprises and secrets of his own, and secrets are something Krish all knows too well about.

Young Krish is soon recognized as someone that is steadfast and can get the job done. Krish is given the task to find the one weapon that can turn the tide of victory More...

Flank Hawk by Terry W Ervin was an amazingly unique story. A lot of the elements that are included in the story are pretty standard fantasy fare with goblins, ogres, zombies, etc, but they way they are combined adds a unique flavor.

The book begins with the cousins Krish and Guzzy on the front lines holding off what was thought to be the annual zombie invasion. Every year the Necromancer King send some zombies to disrupt the harvest. In Flank Hawk there are two types of zombies: the soulless whi More...

Flank Hawk will sweep you away and take you to a magical world.

Terry W. Ervin II did a brilliant job writing this debut novel. There's never a dull moment as we follow Krish, a farmhand turned mercenary, as he forges through battles. Dragons, zombies, giants, and wizards color the pages of this science fiction, fantasy novel.

Thriving as a strong individual, Krish encounters new friends, and loses honorable allies. Krish's journey is not one you want to miss.

I rate this book highly, well, because I wrote it ;)

Honestly, I believe that most authors write books they'd, as a reader, like to find on the library or bookstore shelf.

Flank Hawk is an action-adventure fantasy novel, and I don't think there is another work out there quite like it.

This book feels like it is trying mimic The Black Company with its style (plus being about mercenaries, etc.). It's not as good though.

The book was ok, but it is a mishmash of stuff that just seems thrown together. Zombies, goblins, giants, dragons, panzers and stukas oh my! There were times when it felt as though the author just wanted to throw as much as he could into a single story.

Again, the story was ok, not good, not great, just ok. I never really got deep into the narrative. It felt as th More...

I really enjoyed this book. It was well written, the characters are interesting, and the story never dull. Not to mention the fascinating underlying concept of Nazi technology being introduced into a world of swords and sorcery. I'm definitely looking forward to a sequel.

Not usually a fan of fantasy tales, but this one was enjoyable. Great characters draw you in, and the plot moves along at a decent clip. The tidbits leading in each chapter give a glimpse into the origins of the story, but I was still surprised when the reveal occurs.
