“The King of High Adventure,” Starlog.


a sky pirate sentenced to death in the arena, he has become the greatest gladiator of his age.


this sinister sorcerer’s cutting wit and his wicked schemes have ensured that even his wealthy kin want him dead.


part human, part predatory cat, this former thief gets what she wants by any means necessary.


All three are about to be trapped in a web of death and intrigue spun by the demon-worshipping Molok and his plan to bind all of the Sky Pirates into an invincible mutant army and rule the dying, demon-haunted world of Urath.


Sky Pirates is an action packed fantasy tale of flying ships and flashing swords in the tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs John Carter stories and Jack Vance’s Dying Earth by the bestselling creator of Gotrek and Felix.

King did just enough world building to draw me in, and it was just plot driven enough to keep me reading . . . But the characters were pretty two dimensional and tropey. Even the climax was a big let down. It took place in the course of about 2 or 3 kindle pages. I guess I shouldn't be complaining too much because it was free . . .

Entertaining listening 🎧
I read this in 2012 and it is a very good novel. Enjoy

[Kevin]

A fun novel that mixes fantasy, pirates, and airships. A captured pirate is forced to team up with an evil wizard to fight an even more evil wizard. Sky Pirates has plenty of creative fantasy elements, dry humor, and a fast pace that that makes you want to keep on reading. I would read more by this author.

A collision between Barsoom and Warhammer.

[BJ Haun]

An alright, if rather predictable, bit of fantasy adventure. Nothing blew my socks off, but nothing made me want to book the book down, either.
