Reading. Reading. Reading.

The Steel Remains (Land fit for Heroes, Book 1) 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.
