Thunder on the Battlefield: Sword Book Review

ABOUT JAMES R. TUCK: James R. Tuck was born and raised in The South. Brought up on a steady diet of country music, Jesus, and guns; he's always been a little weird. Now he writes yarns about monsters, guns, hard-eyed men, and tough as nails women. He puts the DARK in Dark Urban Fantasy.

THUNDER ON THE BATTLEFIELD: SWORD BOOK SYNOPSIS: HARK! to the sounds of battle. Mighty men and women who take their destinies with the strength of their arm and the sharpness of their blades. These are tales of warriors, reavers, barbarians, and kings. Lands of wonder populated with monsters, black-hearted sorcerors of Stygian power, and heroes who have blood on their hands and on their steel. This is SWORD AND SORCERY. Edited by James R. Tuck, acclaimed author of the Deacon Chalk Novels, the Sword volume features tales from the following authors:

G. Gerome Henson Jay Requard D.T. Neal John F. Allen Marcella Burnard David J. West Alexis A. Hunter James R. Tuck Loriane Parker W.E. Wertenberger Stephen Zimmer J.S. Veter


THUNDER ON THE BATTLEFIELD: SORCERY BOOK SYNOPSIS: BEHOLD! the clash of war. Steel upon steel and heroes fighting shield to shield. The only true victory is a brave death and the destruction of your enemies. These stories harken back to a barbaric past that never was. A time when heroic men and women cut glory from the cloth of a sorcery-filled world and stole gold from the hands of the gods themselves. This is fiction that takes no prisoners. No quarter asked. No quarter given. This is SWORD AND SORCERY. Edited by James R. Tuck, acclaimed author of the Deacon Chalk Novels, the Sword volume features tales from the following authors:Jeffe Kennedy Alex Hughes Selah Janel Steven Grassie James R. Tuck M. B.

My Review:

I love anthologies. Especially science fiction. This was a really interesting group of battles. What I found really interesting was the paranormal aspect of sword fights. It reminded me of Highlander. I also really liked how the stories were all related. A lot of people can relate to fighting and wars, but this story was different because it had the monsters and the different spells that were used during battle. My favorite story was the one by Stephen Zimmer. This was definitely a great read. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
