Book Review: Steve Dilks - Gunthar: Warrior Of The Lost World

 Genre; Bronzed Barbarian Sword & Sorcery


"In a world of science and sorcery, shadowed crypts and jewelled towers, a mighty swordsman from the wild plains of Tatukura storms his way through four fantastic adventures"

If you like the sort of mighty-thewed barbarian stories starring big, fierce men with short, fierce names then this might be up your alley.  There's definitely a lot of Conan to be found here, plus more than a little bit of Thongor.  Truthfully, this book could have been written in 1968 rather than 2019. 

   I mean, you can tell just by the cover that there's going to be more skull-crushing than backroom politicking. Wworks for me. 

 While I can't really say this is wildly original  this was entertaining. Gunthar keeps things ticking along nicely and has plenty of action.  Sometimes that's all I want from a book.
