Thanksgiving is this week and I’m leaving soon for a long weekend with my family. In my down time, I plan on doing some reading. I thought I would share with you the Jon Brazer Enterpises Thanksgiving reading list.

What if you were the champion of a god, constantly sent on deific errands at the bidding of an angelic messenger? And what if you didn’t really worship that god, but regretted with every fiber of your being the day you begged her for help, binding your fate to her forever after? That would kind [...]

Howard Andrew Jones’ Plague of Shadows is a solid entry in the “what happens to adventurers in their twilight years?” sub-genre of fantasy. The elf Elyana used to wander the world with her doughty companions, slaying evil wizards and malicious dragons. As the years passed, some friends died, others got old, and some treaded less [...]

The second novel in the Neverwinter Saga, Neverwinter, comes out next week. We asked author R.A. Salvatore about the changes he’s made to his iconic dark elf, Drizzt Do’Urden, how the Forgotten Realms have changed, and what it takes to write a vivid battle scene.

When we last left Reimund, he’d won a battle against some mercenaries when a messenger arrived bearing news that Reimund’s brother [...]

Reaper is well-known for their excellent miniatures and miniature wargames Warlord and CAV. Rules books have added bits of flavor to the universe that Warlord takes place in, but you can experience that world on a much deeper level with Warlord Rising, a novel by Michales Joy.

We have a special edition of Robot Viking fiction today, as Ryk Perry details an incident in the life of an unlanded knight. Life as a knight wasn’t always glamor and glory (though it was a hell of a lot better than what the peasants got). This is the first part of a series, so [...]

Marge Fulton offers up some taut tales set in Appalachia, while Jason Walters takes us on a tour of the bizarre in the Black Rock Desert.
