To the world at large, he is a mercenary and assassin, a brutal killer with a deadly blade. In reality Kormak is a Guardian, one of an ancient order sworn to protect humanity from the servants of the gathering darkness.
Kormak is a sword and sorcery hero in the tradition of Conan, Solomon Kane and Druss the Legend, a driven man with a mission to hunt down the ancient demons who slaughtered his family. His fast-paced, action-packed adventures take him from one end of his richly detailed fantasy world to the other.
OCEAN OF FEAR
The survivors of a burned out village set Kormak and a crew of bounty hunters on the trail of the pirate known only as the Kraken. The hunt leads from the haunted ruins of a cursed city to the buccaneer stronghold of Port Blood and reaches a bloody conclusion far beneath the waves of the ocean. For the Kraken is a sorcerer with a deadly secret and he plans to waken the most powerful demon of the ancient world.
Kormak is back again for some rootin tootin sword bootin, but this time it's underwater! This is one of the better entries in the Kormak saga, although I will admit that isn't saying much. These books are like candy, no real nutritional value but I fuck with them hard. In this one, Kormak seeks out a big bad dude under water with the help of a fish lady who is hellbent on revenge. The good guys triumph, yada yada yada, but know what the disappointing part is? Korms didn't bang a single fish lady in all of the 200 pages. What gives, King? Let him lay his Mak down. 9/10. Would recommend.
Me fascinan los quan, tanto en la Serie Terrarca, como aquí. En este libro, Kormak se viste con los ropajes de Solomon Kane y Elric de Melnibone para embarcarse en pos de aventuras, blandir su espada negra contra paganos impíos, recorrer ciudades abandonadas en pantanos lujuriosos, enfrentarse a enemigos corrompidos por el Caos/la Sombra y dar muerte a criaturas primigenias adoradas como dioses. Todo lo que promete la serie de Kormak, lo encontrarás en esta aventura.
I must confess that i love kormak as a character and william king as a writer. Even if this story is a bit short, it's really interesting with a blend of eldritch horror and pirate/naval stuff. If you're a fan of kormak ( as you should be) you must read this one.
