Now this is getting exciting. For the second time this week, I’ve been able to blog about a book by an I author I know. Heck, the way I’m networking up the ranks of the media elite, I’d expect Danielle Steel & Rupert Murdoch to be ringing me up soon.
Up for discussion is Jeremiah (Kingtycoon) Methuseleh’s Raindrinker – The Murder’s March. (Buy yours today!) And I’m impressed.
I’m not just impressed in the way that you’re impressed by your buddy’s band ’cause you figured they’d really suck, but you went to the show to be nice and were surprised that they could actually all play their instruments together at the same time.
No, I’m impressed by the world that the formidable Kingtycoon has created. I’m impressed by the completeness of the vision. I’m impressed by the writing, the agility of the language, the craftwork, the book. I started it out of personal curiosity, but finished it out of fascination.
To be honest, I’m really not a big fantasy guy. Tolkien is still on my “To Read” list, and I know I’ll never get around to Robert Jordan no matter how many of my friends are devotees. But this book is also a book of ideas. Up for discussion are concepts of The Self , Identity, Duty, the Divine.
It’s fertile soul, well-seeded, and ready to sprout the already planned next 21 volumes to complete the story. Ah, ambition!! It is a beautiful thing!!
