A great Escape

While I am not a big sci-fi or fantasy reader, this one was really enjoyable. Started it on a plane trip to Baltimore and actually hoped for a airline delay.New hybrid "monster-animal"-type characters were great.

An Excellent Fantasy Naovel

The odd cover caught my attention in the library and I had to read it. I'm very glad I did. This is not your typical hack and slash Conan the Barbarian novel (Though I LOVE Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time Series). I loved this book and want to see more with these characters in it. Maybe they get into hell somehow? All in all this is a very good book and I highly reccommend buying it.

A Read Well Worth While!

When I read this book I was like. WOW! I love these kind of stories. They or full of exitement and action. Plus this book has inspired and given me many ideas for my book I've started. " The Quest for Immortality." I love Michael Calligaro's writing. I just can't put the book down. :-)

Fantasy beyond sword and sorcery

"Implements of Destruction" is lively fantasy full of swords, sorcery, daemons, and thieves, yet it goes far beyond any standard sword & sorcery setting. The characters are a fascinating collection, each a distinctive personality with a wonderful conglomeration of strengths and weaknesses. No pure black & white views of good and evil characters here, no stock villians or good guys--the villians are as rich and complex as the good guys, who also have their own little touches of darkness to deal with. The world is richly developed with little oddities--like exploding Rubik's cubes--threaded throughout that left me wanting to know more, to explore more. The writing is fast and clear. I really enjoyed the touches of sarcastic and wry humor. I snickered more than once at some of the characters' thoughts and comments. All in all, a very solid, worth-while fantasy novel. I hope we'll see more of this world and--especially--these characters.
