The Steel Remains by Richard K. Morgan


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I've become a fan of Richard Morgan from his Takashi Kovacs series of books as well as his offering Black Man (or Thirteen as is was titled here in the States).



In this one, Morgan returns but with a fantasy setting rather than the usual noirish sci-fi. And he's turned the genre on its head. A reluctant debauched protagonist is joined by equally debauched fellow heroes in the first novel of a promised trilogy.



I would recommend this one for any fantasy fan who's willing to let the tenets of the usual fantasy saga be twisted, changed, and completely reworked.

Now For Something Completely Unrelated to Bourbon and Bacon: Satan's $@#%* Baby

Satan's **** Baby by Eric Powell

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
For those of you not in the know, the title of the book is "Satan's Sodomy Baby" and comes of Powell's fictional defiance toward one fictional Margaret Snodgrass of Alabama. The resulting hue and cry brought plenty of comic attention to the title and probably increased sales more than it should have. All in all a reprehensible marketing scheme for a morally reprehensible book.



I love it.
