Heroic Death
Beginning of the Death Trilogy

by Brian G Murray



      The Dark Lord wants to conquer the whole world, and he has his Dark Brethren to lead his armies. These supernaturally endowed warriors will stop at nothing, and are named Fury, Malice and Chaos. Before them the enemies of the Dark Lord will fall like corn to the scythe - or so he hopes. But the forces of evil have their balance in the good guys, and six mortal men stand up to join forces and oppose the tide of evil. Trouble is, one of them is in truth the champion of the Dark Lord - but who is it?

I've long wondered why nobody had ever tried to mix the genres up a little more and add a whodunit angle to a fantasy novel, but now they have. This is the first in a new trilogy and it fairly bursts with good old-fashioned fantasy sword and sorcery action. Forget the current vogue for static court intrigues, heads roll in the dust on almost every page and it is impossible to be bored unless of course you don't like this sort of thing and if this is so why are you reading it? To its detriment this is very much a tale of good and bad guys, and the girls don't get much of a look in except to slake the lusts of the baddies or cheer the heroes on. Put some strong women into book two and you will have an exciting traditional fantasy trilogy that will appeal to both sexes.
