Dragonthroat: A Novel of Altiva
New from Airship 27!
THE WARP ORPHAN RETURNS
Vietnam veteran T.K. Mitchell never thought of himself as anything other than a former grunt doing his best to get by from day to day. Life was boringly routine until the appearance of an old woman calling herself Meegana Kakdon claiming to be a Warp Wizard. She informs T.K. that he was actually born on another world called Altiva located in a different dimension than ours. A world in which his parents ruled. But traitorous foes plotted to overthrow them and before their deaths, they sent their baby to Earth. Now the time has come for T.K. to return to Altiva and claim his birthright. In the blink of an eye, and very much against his will, T.K. is warped into a strange alien landscape with two suns, one red and one blue. Soon he encounters a warrior priest known as the Reverent Lord Enrique, the Shoutte of the Shoutte. Realizing the young man is a warp orphan, the cleric decides to be his guide. Day by day, T.K. begrudgingly comes to admire this strange and exotic world. A world filled with both beauty and danger to included the Royal Usurper who will stop at nothing to find and destroy him.
Thank you Seth. Great timing for the anthology group read. Jack would have enjoyed this one.
Oo
^^ What David said
@C.A. You should see the first two in the series. Raymond Swanland is the artist. Very distinctive.
@JosephYeah, I was too broad with that statement.
Darrel Schweitzer treats his sorcery in the Mask of the Sorcerer in a similar fashion.I’ve never liked how some authors are super free with the terms for their magic practitioners. There is a definite difference between these individuals.
I was majorly disappointed about Conan and the Living Plague. I pre-ordered a copy just to have Amazon pull it. I would have treasured a copy whatever the cover looks like. (I would have certainly derided it tho :D )
Could Hocking change Conan’s name and release it as his own book set in the Hyborian age? I’ve seen others get away with something along those lines.
Appendix N Eldritch Roots is a good read but fans of DND loathe it. My review:

The Schweitzer story was great. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Sekenre is one of my all time favorite characters.
Lol, we live in a digital age…
Count me in for the Schweitzer story! Especially a Sekenre story.
I decided to back the Kickstarter. Can’t wait. They’ve made some fine books in the past.
Mirror Friend, Mirror Foe
I came across this in a group on FB. A novel published by Playboy written by George Takei and Robert Asprin? How did I not know of this before?
Maybe we should delete this thread? I never received any notification that the site was unsafe. Worrisome.
Hmm, I wonder why. And more importantly should I be concerned about my device.
