Just finished Gonji: Dark Ventures. What a great way to be introduced to Gonji! With this title you get a retooling of a previous work, a new adventure featuring Gonji as a young man, a brief history of the publication of the series, and a glimpse at new forthcoming material.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
It is just a short story (read in 1-2hrs), but it is inexpensive/free .... very timely for Halloween.

Thank you mightily for the high praise of "Gonji: DARK VENTURES," Richard! Yes, I was long overdue to write a book that would serve as a gateway into my series that began in the 1980s and has been re-issued in recent years. It's tough getting out the message that DV is the best place to start for new readers. But enthusiastic comments like yours really help.
Much obliged, my friend. I hope you continue into the series with pleasant results!

I'm currently working my way through a new anthology of S&S/adventure fantasy tales Blackest Knights which may be of interest to others here.

I love the original Foundation trilogy and will have to revisit them one of these years.

Not S & S, but a swashbuckling historical romance?
Yeah, he had numerous pen names and wrote in quite a few genres.Versatile, but once you read one Fox paperback, you've read them all. In that I mean you start so see patterns in his writing if you read enough of them. Some shine more than others. Too early to say with this one.
So not so much versatile as fond of eating?
Lol. I suppose your right, Mary. I'm sure he was just trying make a living. Writing whatever whenever to make a sale.
Feeling festive. Just in time for Yule!

A humorous, frenetic, messy end to Atlantis.
The Winter Road could definitely pass for S&S, If anyone's interested here's my reiview - https://www.alwroteabook.com/2018/11/...Now on to Bird Box

They are. Each book in the series builds on the larger story. Eager to see how it culminates.
