(urth) New Wolfe Listing on Amazon

[Pedro Pereira]

I haven't read the Knight books (I'm not much into Arthurian kind of stuff), but I totally recomend the Soldier books. I was hopping that Sidon would take Latro to the fabled Egyptian Labirynth; unfortunately it didn't. There's a few things in the Soldier books that I think may be a bit wrong from a historical point of view though. Not really wrong, but questionable at least, but it's minor stuff.> Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2008 12:21:23 -0600> From: mfstraight at gmail.com> To: urth at lists.urth.net> Subject: Re: (urth) New Wolfe Listing on Amazon> > Well, I'll admit to being disappointed by Wolfe's recent short work.> I don't think there's a single story in Starwater Strains, Innocents> Aboard, or Strange Travelers that I like as much as I like most of the> stories in Endangered Species, Island of Doctor Death and Other> Stories and Other Stories, or Book of Days.
