Présentation de l'éditeur

The story you are about to read features James Enge’s wondrous character, Morlock Ambrosius. Morlock is a swordsman, an exile, a hunchback, a drunk, and a wizard, though he himself would use the term “Maker” and say he is a master of the two arts, Seeing and Making. James Enge’s tales of Morlock the Maker have appeared in Black Gate magazine, in the anthology Swords & Dark Magic, and elsewhere, and Morlock features in the novels Blood of Ambrose, This Crooked Way, and The Wolf Age. In honor of this burgeoning Morlock fan base, and to commemorate The Wolf Age’s status as Pyr’s one-hundredth title, Pyr is issuing a free, exclusive, ePub novelette called “Travellers' Rest.” Featuring a cover by artist Chuck Lukacs, “Travellers' Rest” is an 8,500 word original novelette, written for Pyr, which takes place before the events of Blood of Ambrose. Enge describes “Traveller's Rest” as “a story that's been trying to chew its way out of my head for a while now, and this seemed like a good time to release it as an introduction to Morlock. Also, Morlock’s apprentice Wyrth has a small but discerning fan base, and ‘Traveller's Rest’ gives them a chance to encounter him again.”If you are new to Morlock, it should make a fine introduction to Enge’s creation, and if you are not, you will be pleased to see the return of at least one old friend. Either way, we hope that you enjoy it.The story you are about to read features James Enge’s wondrous character, Morlock Ambrosius.

Travellers' Rest 22 décembre 2010
Par North - Publié sur Amazon.com
Format:Format Kindle|Achat authentifié par Amazon
Morlock Ambrosius is travelling with his dwarf apprentice and stops to rest in an inn.
Before he can enjoy his supper, someone comes to the innkeeper's door and demands that the daughter of the house follow him. Both parents rebel, saying that they already have given their first daughter and that they were promised they could keep the second.
Morlock gets involved and all hell breaks loose.

This is a nice short story but I am missing the background. I felt I came in at the middle point of a novel without having read the first, and more interesting, chapters. This is probably great free reading if you are familar with the characters, otherwise you might be, as I was, left unsatisfied.

Lovely Tease 27 décembre 2010

An excellent short story to lure one in to the world of Morlock Ambrosius and his sidekick Wyrth. I would have given it a 5 star rating had it been just a tad longer--perhaps with a couple more obstacles for the protagonist to hurdle.

The writing is precise and witty. The characters intertwine with each other in a well-oiled manner that hints of a long term relationship that borders on a deeper love and respect for one another.

The story has peaked my interest in the series enough that I will be purchasing more titles.

Predictable ending, but interesting story 14 décembre 2010
Par Kyle L. Rhynerson - Publié sur Amazon.com
Format:Format Kindle|Achat authentifié par Amazon
In this short story we meet Morlock Ambrosius, who appears to be an interesting character; although there wasn't much time spent on developing who he is, and why he is so feared.

The story is set in a fantasy land where swords and magic are in play, and the villain is a twisted character doing all sorts of strange experiments on the local villagers.

I thought the ending was very predictable, but I guess I can't complain since it was a free story I downloaded recently from Amazon.
