Product Description
A CONTINUATION OF THE CLASSIC BEASTMASTER SAGA...
In an epic journey across the mystical lands of Ancor, a lone warrior confronts a sinister power from beyond the stars -- forced to stake his very survival on the aid of his companions: a soaring eagle, a fearsome tiger, and two cunning, quick ferrets.
Blessed with an extraordinary gift to commune with animals, yet haunted by his own legacy and tragic past, Dar has become champion of his world and its natural riches. But when an unyielding force of evil and carnage descends upon his gentle existence, he must emerge from a spiritual journey and embark upon a dreadful voyage. Will Dar become the savior Ancor so desperately needs, or will his world be subjected to an evil that leaves no innocent unharmed -- human or beast? And when a striking figure from Dar's past reappears, can she help him salvage his broken spirit?

A LackLuster Beastmaster That May Appeal To Fans, Dec 22 2009
By W. Bentrim - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beastmaster: Myth (Paperback)
Beastmaster Myth by Richard A Knaak and Sylvio Tabet
Dar communicates with beasts. His world is under attack by a technological devil. How Dar, his animals and his allies fare against a technological juggernaut is the meat of the story.
I generally enjoy this type of book. I wasn't impressed with this book. The action was good and the evil was palatable. Maybe it was style but I just didn't warm up to the book. I actually considered not finishing it. The characters were just too two dimensional. There is almost a cult following of the Beast Master so I must be missing something. I finished it and it wasn't too bad.

Not the Beastmater I remember, Jan 11 2011
By S. Wood - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beastmaster: Myth (Paperback)
Firstly I have over the years been a huge Beastmaster fan and the films and TV series are a real guilty pleasure of mine, so when I stumbled across Myth I was looking forward to a continuation in the same vein.
Myth however, whilst not a bad book in its own right, is not the Beastmaster that I have grown up with. The films and TV series had a sense of fun and adventure that ran through whilst Myth takes itself a little too seriously and has little in common, the main player aside, with the story so far.
The whole back story and world that has built up over the years has been mostly ignored and a reset button has clearly been pressed.
This may have been closer the original Sylvio Tabet had in mind when the stories were first discussed but surprisingly the character has not translated well into written word.
On the whole not a bad book in its own right although the story does become a little repetitive due to the nature of Dars task and the ending is a little convenient.
All this being said I will watch for further stories in the hope they capture the sprit of the movies.
Listmania!
