The Bomb

The book storm warriors deals with much racism and events that can happen to anyone, i would recommend that this becomew a summer reading book and not only that that anyone can fall in love with it within the first 20 pages.

Not just hack-n-slash

This is the third book in the Orfeo trilogy, the first two being _Zaragoz_ and _Plague Daemon_. While these books are called a trilogy they are only very slightly linked by the narrator being the same person. Orfeo is captured and forced to tell stories to earn his freedom. He does have his own story, but it is something that is never resolved. You only actually see Orfeo in action during the preludes and epilogues. I liked this one at least as much as the first book and definitely better than the second book, so even if you were disappointed by _Plague Deamon_ I would still suggest this one._Storm Warriors_ is, rather obviously, set in the Warhammer fantasy world, on the Island of Morien. A young king and his best friend, the court bard (also an aspiring druid) must deal with a group of shipwrecked sea elves that have landed in their country. They know there is something wrong with the elves but their knightly code forbids them action until there is proof of their hostility. The land is plagued and the fealty to the king is at an all time low, as the smiling 'friendly' elves continue to gain favor among the people.Though the first two-thirds of the book are a bit low on the usual Warhammer hack-n-slash, the last third is action packed. I was impressed with the writing, especially the music magic and the scenes where Slanesh shows up. Just a side note, Brian Craig is a pseudonym for Brian M. Stableford.
