Renegade Swords!

Find it Here!


For those in the mood for more classic sword and sorcery, you should definitely look into the recent Renegade Swords series by DMR Books. Inside you will find reprints of classic stories that have been neglected over time.

Today I would like to present to you the recent second instalment which has the exact sword of action and wonder you are looking for. If you are unfamiliar with the genre, this is the place to start your journey into it.

The description:

"Once again DMR Books delves into the vaults of the past to unearth tales of swords, sorcery, and mighty heroes. In Renegade Swords II you will read about such adventures as the struggle of Rackhir the Red Archer to rescue Tanelorn, Fal the Reiver’s encounters with darksome spirits on Samhain night, the bloody life of Hialmar of the Æsir, and more. These eight stories (many of them rarely reprinted) will surely satisfy every aficionado of heroic fantasy fiction.

"Stories included:

“The Roaming Forest” by Michael Moorcock
“To Rescue Tanelorn” by Michael Moorcock
“Marchers of Valhalla” by Robert E. Howard
“Killer” by David Drake and Karl Edward Wagner
“The Unlawful Hunter” by Keith Taylor
“The Haunting of Mara” by Keith Taylor
“The Pool of the Stone God” by A. Merritt

Once again, you can find it here.

Of course, I should also point out the first entry, as well. For those who are interested in the second instalment, you are definitely going to want to check out the first.

It's a great time to be a reader. With NewPub constantly pumping out new material, and books like this putting out reprints of classic material, you will never be short on things to read.

And there is far more to come this year! both new and old, there is plenty more on the horizon. You can count on it.
