Review: The Lod Saga
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 06 5, 2011
As mentioned in the product description, this is an omnibus edition of three previous short stories: The Beast of Elohim, Manus Farstrider, and The Sword of Esus. I've not read those books, but it appears the author added some contextual connecting material between each of the stories.Again, I enjoyed this one just as much as the previous books. Each story follows a singular exploit of Lod. The first two stories were extremely intense and very fast paced. I felt a little disoriented on the last story, altho I am hard-pressed to figure out why. I think the conflict was just too enormous for me to keep tracking. I found myself rescanning pages. It certainly did not subtract from my enjoyment, it just slowed me down a little.Certainly makes me want to read more from this author and more specifically in this series. Either as supplementary books like the Lod books, or following Joash some more.
