Customer Reviews

If you liked Moria in Lord of the Rings...

If you liked the chase through Moria in The Fellowship of the Ring, then these two books are for you. While the Silver Call duology is not as much of a rip-off of Lord of the Rings as the Iron Call trilogy was, all of McKiernan's books have been a good read and enjoyable.In the authors defense, he did say in the beginning of one of the books that he could not find anything else as epic as Tolkien and set out to create something similar, albiet a little too similar.

Simply the best!

I got this Book as a gift from a friend and didn't touch it for a month. Then one day while i was bored I picked it up. I only put it done once and that was to pick up The Brega Path(Book 2). Im now Reading both for the second time, and looking forward to reading his others.

A fine work of fantasy

Great book. Read it

An excellent sequel to Lord of the Rings (no mistake)

Dennis McKiernan takes a few elements from Tolkien's Return of the King (Lord of the Rings vol 3) and creates a wonderful story. The names of characters and peoples are changed for the sake of copyright. Through my many re-readings of the Lord of the Rings I often wondered if the Dwarves were able to return to Moria. In the appendix of return of the King there is a tantalizing geneaology of Durin's line. Durin VII (and last) is listed and the reader wonders if this last Durin led his people back to Khazad Dum (Moria) after the fall of Sauron. This is the story of his battle to win back the home of his people. The horn presented by Eomer to Meriadoc is the key to the battle. While often criticized for emulating Tolkien I think this is a book that old J.R.R. would have written himself if he'd been given the time.
