Descriptions du produit

From Amazon.com

Jack Vance excels at writing a series of shorter works that together comprise a grand, interstellar adventure. Such is the The Demon Princes, a series of five tales that chronicle Kirth Gersen's quest for vengeance against the five demon princes. The princes led the Mount Pleasant Massacre, a raid that destroyed Gersen's family and his world. But now Kirth is on their trail, and no matter how many galaxies there are to search, he will find them one by one and exact his revenge. This first volume collects three of the five Demon Prince stories, while the second volume will carry the remaining two. --Ce texte provient de la Hardcover édition.


From Library Journal

Collected here are the first three novels in Vance's classic "Demon Princes" series. Kerth Gersen seeks the demon princes, a destructive race that disguises itself as human, to exact revenge for the death of his family and planet. Recommended for sf collections not owning the separate titles.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Fantastic Series -written by a Grand Master, Mai 31 2004
This is a terrific series. I have read and re-read these books many times. A good buy for those that love mystery, action, strange settings and unique cultures. They also have quite a sense of humor. In the Palace of Love, the character Navarth is classic, humorous and thought provoking. You'll also want Vol 2. The thought of having to wait to get it when you finish Vol 1 is unthinkable! Also of interest to fans of Jack Vance is the Vance Integral Edition.

Vance's best work, next to "The Dying Earth" and the Cugel novels. Highly entertaining.

5.0étoiles sur 5 First books offer fine introduction: both to ..., Nov. 12 2001
The first time I read this book was about 10 years ago (I was 15 at the time I think). I was just interesting myself for SF-literature, more precisely, for literature that had more elements of 'science' in it (Asimov for example). Before that, I mostly read 'fantasy'-books, like Tolkiens, Julian May's, Terry Pratchett's and Frank Herbert. So I knew already some books where complete worlds where described, and after readin' the first books of the Demon Princes, I was convinced that Jack Vance had done a great job! I read it in one, giant - cuz 1000+ pages - breath and I had the feeling that Jack Vance deserved, atleast in my opinion, a place between the great writers I previously mentioned.
Ofcourse, this will never happen, cuz Jack Vance has never really broke through to the great public, but he still has his own small group of hardcore-fans.
--
These first three books give an excellent introduction regarding the main character Kirth Gersen, his motivations and his 'life-style'. The readers gets also overwhelming information about the worlds, habitats, social, cultural and flora&fauna.
The first book is really strong, with a good intro, mid-plot and vividly written end. Great! The second book tries to do the same; to deepen the main character - through flashbacks, etc -and to describe more of the fantasy-world(s) this all takes place. Two new elements are added: romance and action. Good move of the writer ofcourse. The Palace of Love is the 'least' book of the three and most readers will agree with me. The general feeling about it, was that it was somewhat hastily, untidy written. Vance tried to combine the strong elements of the first two books, but has failed at most points in my opinion.
Conclusion: Book 1 + 2 get def. 5 stars and book 3 gets only 3 stars. Overall; still 5 stars I think.

With kind regards,
