Just started reading it today: Karl Gallagher laid a review copy upon my unworthy hands, and so far it goes well. The basic premise of The Lost War is Let’s send a SCA event to a medieval fantasy setting! and seeing what happens then. And, I must admit: I myself have often wondered what would actually happen. Plus, it’s got a blurb from Duke Sir Cariadoc of the Bow, which is sufficiently gold that I may end up mentioning the book at the baronial meeting this weekend.
It’s a SCAdian thing, yeah.
He’s not just Duke Cariadoc, he’s the author of a terrific little fantasy. Here’s my review; please read the comments. (Maybe Salamander would make a good book of the week?)
Anyhow, I’m now 40% through The Lost War, and enjoying it. Thanks for the tip! — Chris Chittleborough
Oooh.
