Book Description

Release Date: Oct 1 1999 | Series: Greyhawk
A remorseless ranger.
A sentient hell hound pelt with a penchant for pyromania.
An irksome pixie who sells intrigue and information.

Three companions who find themselves trapped in a city filled with warring priestly factions, devious machinations, and an angry fiend. To save the city, they must find three weapons of power, which lie in the most trap-laden, monster-infested place this side of Acererak's tomb: White Plume Mountain.

4.0 out of 5 stars great book, not terribly "pure" though Aug 4 2003
By gregamazon
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I thought this book might be a "pure" telling of an adventure into White Plume Mountain, as in the original AD&D module. Winds up that no, this is 30 years later, AFTER whomever has defeated Keraptis in the module. Still, it incorporates many elements from the original module that leave one feeling nostaligic for the old adventuring days. The prominent use of anachronisms is pretty annoying, as is Escalla's use of terms like "J-man" and such when referring to Justicar - obviously incorporations of modern slang. That's great for Disney movies trying to hook the kiddies in, not so great for AD&D novels trying to hook the hardcore fantasy geeks like me in. Still, the flaws were few and the kudos are many. I really enjoyed this book and I'm looking forward to reading more of the Greyhawk series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Paul Kidd is a great D&D writer! Mar 4 2003
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book and his others remind me of years ago when I picked up a paperback from an unknown author based solely on the wonderful artwork of Larry Elmore. It was my delight to 'discover' RA Salvatore and introduce him to many friends. Paul Kidd is the same way and it is an absolute shame he does not write more books. If you want to be entertained while reading, get all of his books. I would also hurry, because just like Gary Gygax's Gord books, these will soon be out of print and very hard to find!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent dungeons & dragons story! Oct 9 2002
By Eric Roufs
Format:Mass Market Paperback
For those of you who have played this Dungeons & Dragons module, or even just played Dungeons & Dragons at all, this book is a must! It is very funny, and the author really makes you feel like you're right there with the characters. There are also lots of really funny jabs at some of the basic Dungeons & Dragons gaming rules that really don't make much sense. When some of the rules are put into a real situation, they are pretty humorous.... and the Justicar (the main character) is quick to point these out! :>
It's a quick and easy read, and definitely leaves you wanting to continue the journey with the characters into the next book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Why do I like this book?!?
Paul Kidd is a comic book writer, and it shows. The author doesn't spend a lot of time establishing mood, or world-building, or even using depth in his characterization. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Entertaining!
An entertaining book to help fill the gap between WOT and SOT novels. The characters are fun to read about and the story was entertaining as well as interesting. Good job Mr. Kidd!

4.0 out of 5 stars Newsflash! Greyhawk book actually a good read...
I was dubious of another Greyhawk book after "Against The Giants", but this has proven a worthy purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars In a word (used by other reviewers): fun, and lot's of it.
This book does not have the complexity of Tolkien, Hicks/Weis or Peake. It won't make you a better person philosophically. The characters do not undergo any great "arc. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent novel!
I bought this book just over a month ago, and since then, I've reread it 4 times! The character combination of the Justicar, Escalla, Cinders and Polk is perfect! Read more
