Title: Form the basis for reading Powers
Review: Many of Powers' themes and ideas in his later works are initially explored in The Drawing of the Dark, so if you are a new reader of Tim Powers start here.Brian Duffy, veteran swordsman and mercenary, is an ordinary fellow on an extraordinary journey that involves plenty of swordplay, a touch of history, many magical creatures, and the consumption of a huge amount of beer (much of it by Duffy himself).So put away your Robert Jordan and cast aside the cast of thousands of other Tolkein-inspired sword and sorcery tomes and pick up an original. Speculative fiction...get into it.
