![]() ![]() Morgan has never been one for long expository sequences, nor for overblown symbolic description and espouses a clarity of style that is at once unfamiliar and wholely refreshing in the fantasy genre. There were two main thoughts as I finally finished the novel: Why wasn’t it longer? and When the hell does the next book come out? As a work of fantasy it isn’t nearly as revolutionary as one might expect and portrays the aforementioned themed directly and without flinching from anything. Now, book in hand and finally complete, what do I think? The Steel Remains follows the same themes as Morgan’s Thirteen and his Kovac’s novels dealing with issues of violence, social acceptance, and and the nature of humanity itself. As an internet goer you might have noticed, perhaps participated in, some of the hoopla and hubaloo surround the book’s supposed hype-machine. ![]() You might also have noticed my rant regarding the need to import the book from the UK rather than wait until its February US release date. If you’ve read my blog before you’ve like come across my incessant links to previews and reviews for Sci-fi author Richard (K) Morgan’s first entry into the realms of fantasy. ![]()
