The Lords of the Crimson River

Richard Blade #35

by Jeffrey Lord

MEDIEVAL WAR GAMES

Blade's outer-dimensional wanderlust brings him to a strange, unpredictable land that, on first glance, seems to be operating out of the Middle Ages, dotted with feudal castles, and peopled with barons, dukes and armored knights. Also incorporated into the society, however, are monkey-like creatures, subservient to their human masters, but displaying astonishingly--sometimes alarmingly--high degrees of intelligence, and often uncertain loyalties....

Quickly Blade becomes embroiled in the power struggle between the eight Lords of the Crimson River, a bloody merciless struggle. Blade sees the civilization headed for mass-destruction, but can he turn it around before it's too late?

Reviews

[Charles · Rating 4 out of 5]

Blade #35, The Lords of the Crimson Rive (1981) by Jeffrey Lord, (aka Roland Green). Excellent cover art by Kevin Eugene Johnson, one of my favorite covers in the series. Blade travels to another medieval level dimension where he gets involved with a wide ranging conflict between groups of Knights. He ends up on the better side of the war, as is his wont, and falls in love with noblewoman. He also gains a pet, and when he is sucked back to home dimension, the pet—a green feathered Monkey he calls Cheeky—goes with him. There’s a lot of good battle action in this one and a surprising amount of pathos at the end. It was pretty well done.
