Debbie have you seen THE DRAGON HAMMER by Tony Daniel
Debbie have you seen THE DRAGON HAMMER by Tony Daniel
A reader wrote to ask if Ive seen Tony Daniels The Dragon Hammer. Heres excerpts from the review from Publishers Weekly. In the excerpt Ive highlighted a passage...
Beast-men, bitter feuds, and battles are just some of the elements in this epic coming-of-age fantasy, set in an alternate North America populated by Viking-like settlements, Romans who practice blood magic, and mythical creatures.and
First in the Wulf Saga, the story is a kitchen sink of fantasy tropes, with elves and gnomes existing alongside animal-human hybrids (who replace a native population in a regrettable worldbuilding decision), and a vaguely explained mythology involving stars and dragons.Reviews indicate the story is set in the Shenandoah Valley. Shenandoah is a Native word. I assume the author needed some words in order to make this story identifiable as one in "an alternative North America."
I wonder if Daniel or his editor saw the Publishers Weekly review? Im glad their reviewer questioned that worldbuilding! Im questioning it, too!
The Dragon Hammer was released on July 5, 2016, by Baen, which is part of Simon and Schuster. Heres the synopsis:
Evil from the dawn of time is on the verge of domination�but Wulf von Dunstig figured none of that mattered to him. What could he do about it? After all, he was basically nobody�the sixteen-year-old third son of a duke destined for an uneventful life as a ranger. But when destiny comes calling, it turns out there is only Wulf to answer. After a devastating invasion of his native land, Wulf must rally the peaceful valley of Shenandoah. He must free his family and his land from the grip of intruders controlled by vampiric evil.Wulfs "native land" is being invaded? I agree with Publishers Weekly. This story sounds regrettable.
Update, 5:35 AM, August 5th, 2016: As usual with the "Debbie--have you seen" posts, Ill be back with a review when I get a copy of the book.

Dragon Age III Inquisition, developd by BioWare, is an sequel to Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II, making it the third major game to the Dragon Age franchise.
Dragon Age III is set in Thedas, the fantasy world in which the two previous games are set. The game is cover more geographic territory than its predecessors, with one map being described as four to five times the size of Ferelden, the setting of the first game in the series. The developers said that the game would likely be somewhere more “French”, which fans recognize as the land of Orlais. Following the events described in the supplementary novel Dragon Age: Asunder, a civil war between the loyalists of the ruling Empress and a powerful noble faction broke out in Orlais. Simultaneously, the Circle of Magi has gone rogue, in part due to the events of Dragon Age II, and the Templar Order seceded from the Chantry to wage their own civil war on the mages.
