Recensione:

"One of the finest epic fantasies of the decade." --Piers Anthony
"Unlike most modern fantasy, David Drake's "Lord of the Isles "is an epic with the texture of the legends of yore, with rousing action and characters to cheer for." --Terry Goodkind
"True brilliance is as rare as a perfect diamond or a supernova. "Lord of the Isles" is truly brilliant. We are in at the birth of a classic....There is a lot of fantasy out there, but there is only one "Lord of the Isles."" --Morgan Llywelyn
"David Drake's work here is original, engrossing, and instantly credible. After all the hackneyed, repetitive fantasy I've read recently, "Lord of the Isles "seems quite wonderful." --Stephen R. Donaldson

L'autore:

David Drake (born 1945) sold his first story (a fantasy) at age 20. His undergraduate majors at the University of Iowa were history (with honors) and Latin (BA, 1967). He uses his training in both subjects extensively in his fiction. David entered Duke Law School in 1967 and graduated five years later (JD, 1972). The delay was caused by his being drafted into the US Army. He served in 1970 as an enlisted interrogator with the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, the Blackhorse, in Viet Nam and Cambodia. He has used his legal and particularly his military experiences extensively in his fiction also. He practiced law for eight years; drove a city bus for one year; and has been a full-time freelance writer since 1981, writing such novels as Out of the Waters and Monsters of the Earth. He reads and travels extensively.
