Product Description

The Underdark

Beneath the surface of Faerûn lies a whole different world.

A world of drow, deep gnomes, and other denizens of the dark.

A world of cities like Menzoberranzan and Skullport, of warriors and rogues like Drizzt Do'Urden and Liriel Baenre and numerous others.

Leave the security of the surface world and seek out the darkness that lies below.

Welcome to the Realms of the Underdark.

Ingram

Short stories by Ed Greenwood, R. A. Salvatore, Elaine Cunningham, and other notable authors provide a fantastical portrait of the realms of the underdark, the home of the drow and the other unspeakable monsters of the dark. Original. 100,000 first printing.

First Sentence
There are a thousand deaths in the Underdark-a thousand different horrors skulking in lightless caverns and lurking deep in still black pools, each waiting to rend unwary flesh with fang, or talon, or caustic venom. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars Bite sized stories for you to savor., Feb 8 2003

Michael Love (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: REALMS OF THE UNDERDARK (Mass Market Paperback)

"Realms of the Underdark" is one of the "Realms" series of short story anthologies. This volume deals exclusively with the Underdark, the subterranean world of amongst things dark elves, Dwarfs and a unique ecology. The Underdark has been made famous by R.A. Salvatore's the hugely popular Dark elf series. Although R.A Salvatore doesn't actually contribute any stories in this anthology some of his characters do make appearances in several stories. Fans of R.A. Salvatore will enjoy this anthology since it fills in a lot of background details about the Underdark and how dangerous it really is. Fans might also notice the differing writing styles between R.A. Salvatore and the other authors but that shouldn't detract too much from the book. After finishing the book it leaves you wanting more... but in a good way.

3.0 out of 5 stars Three Stars for three good stories., Sep 7 2001

TheProphet (Seattle, WA. USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: REALMS OF THE UNDERDARK (Mass Market Paperback)

I gave this book three stars, one for each good story in here. If you did not get enough of the Underdark from Salvatore's fantastic drow series, then this book is worth it for the three quality stories within. Though none of the stories are of the quality of Salvatories writings about the underdark, three out of five stories in here add nicely to the myth of the Underdark. The Liriel Baenre story is the best of them and even features a brief appearance by my favorite drow Jarlaxle. There is an excellent story about a deep gnome who was captured as a drow slave. And then there is the so-so Zaknefin story, which includes some more back story on Drizzt, and while this story is no where near the quality of Salvatories writing, it does provide some interesting insight into both Zaknefin and Drizzt. As for the other two stories in here, forget about them, I already did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad., July 18 2000

Aitor Mendaza Ormaza - See all my reviews

This review is from: REALMS OF THE UNDERDARK (Mass Market Paperback)

Well.The book isn't bad. I've enjoyed reading most of the stories.But That's the bad part. They left you wanting more :)_ The stories are great, and, if you don't mind reading just short stories, buy it. I enjoyed the Liriel's story (Elaine Cunningham) the most of all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mixed Feelings
While I thoroughly enjoyed the Drow stories, I was quite disappointed that there were only two (if not two, then only three), which was the reason I bought the book. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but could be better.
The Underdark -- a lightless world of fearsome monsters and evils too horrible to exist anywhere else. Read more
