Morcar, a professional adventurer down on his luck, is shanghaied into attempting his riskiest mission yet – venturing into the labyrinthine tunnels underneath the ancient city of Graybarrow. Accompanied by a band of desperate renegades and rogues, he faces both the dangers of the unknown depths and a force that lies beyond death itself, with cultists and warriors on his trail. Can he conquer the Swords of the Damned, or is he destined to join their ranks...

'Swords of the Damned' is the first official tie-in novel for the Adventures Dark and Deep roleplaying game, written by the author of the Battlecruiser Alamo series.

    If you've played role-playing games, especially old-school fantasy dungeon crawls, that's just what you get here. This book will not change your life, but it's a pleasant read, with the full complement of seemingly mismatched characters all coming together for their own reasons - but inevitably to save the day. If you want dungeons, necromancers (at least one), really cool skeletons, and things that go boom, then you should enjoy this book. I liked the characters especially; some are stalwart and don't change, while others...well, I won't spoil it. If someone handed me the character sheet for any one of these, I'd play them in a heartbeat. Good fun, and I look forward to a sequel.

    Sometimes you just want the protagonists to be well-adjusted professionals, the antagonist to be an utter lunatic with an evil scheme direct from Villains-R-Us, the fantasy universe to be the usual sanded-down Tokien/Leiber/Howard thing, and the adventure to be an extended raid against an enemy stronghold at the bottom of a labyrinth. That is what you have here: nothing fancy, nothing complicated, nothing egregiously out of place.

    With one highlight: a psychic battle waged by interfering with your opponent's memories.

    Was not sure on how to take this book at first, but once I got going, I enjoyed it greatly.
    Looking forward to next edition.

    There is not much deep in this book, not compared to the other books he have written.
    It's boring and, i cant explain what, but something is missing, there is this small thing missing that make you go "wouw" - he have that in hes other books.

    But if you have a teenage kid, then the book is perhaps a good match for him.

    I recently finished reading Swords of the Damned. It was an entertaining, albeit light read (which was exactly what I wanted). This book would make a fun to watch fantasy movie, much better suited to the genre and it's origins than the 3 movies that were made using the name of the 800 pound gorilla in the industry. If Mr. Tongue follows up this novel with another, I will be sure to read it.

    If you are familiar with the source material, you can definitely see the roots of the story, it's very much like reading the chronicles of someone's tabletop adventures.

    Story just OK. Took too long to assemble the party and get going. And introducing semi-major characters halfway through is annoying.

    But most annoying is the apparent complete lack of a copy editor. Far too many typos, incorrect punctuation, and incorrect word choice. "Through" instead of "throw"? Really?

    Previous comments were before I finished the book. The final 3 chapters are almost unreadable due to the typos, incorrect words, and incorrect punctuation. Be forewarned: the ending is NOT an ending; there is no resolution to speak of.

    This was worth the read, fairly typical fantasy, but lots of typos. I understand the 2nd edition will correct this.

    I dislike most fantasy novels... doubly so for bad Dungeons and dragons pastiche yet Richard Tongue best known for his Hard military sf novels tips his hand at fantasy and D&D and gives us rip roaring fun and witty tale, Like Gorge rr Martin with a sense of humor and tolkeen with a injection of fun.

    A tight well told story with a pile of plot twists and a surprising edge of darkness.

    Snappy Dialogues that would not feel out of place coming out off the mouth of a bunch of hard boiled detectives bounce between our band of heroes, this is what A lot of D&D games wish that they were.
