Summary: Sex and god and blood and pearls
Comment: BLOOD AND PEARLS is a great beginning for the series of prequels to Rogers' ZORACHUS and BLOOD OF THE LAMB books. Set in Khymir, the city maintained by Satan as an argument against the creation of the human race, it introduces Zancharthus, a blood-thirsty sorceror with few redeeming qualities...but some. He's sexy, as are several of the main characters as we learn from Rogers' lengthy, vivid, and...quite interesting sex scenes. He's reasonable by comparison with his enemies. Dessicatorius, the leader of the Satanic cult for which Zancharthus works, who sees fluid as the problem and spiders as the solution, is one of Rogers' best bad guys...and that's saying something! And he really wishes things worked better. There's enough there to start the process of salvation. In addition to great characters, wild action, fantastic monsters, and solid philosophy the book has wonderful illustrations...Dessicatorius covered with spiders (p.264) is dementia incarnate and the last picture in the book (p.313)is about the fleshiest piece of cheesecake you're likely to see. There's something for everybody...and then some!

Summary: Gritty, hard-core fantasy that has a bite to it!
Comment: "Blood & Pearls" is a prequel to the excellent two novel sequence, "Zorachus" and "the Nightmare of God." In "Blood & Pearls" we meet Zorachus' father and high priest of Tschonberg. The plot is tense and well-written. I couldn't put the book down once I started reading it.
I especially enjoy how the author wove a consistent cosmology and theology into the novel. In many ways, his writing style resembles C.S. Lewis' or J.R.R. Tolkien's. You can read Mark E. Roger's novel at multiple levels from a purely escapist to a deeply philosophical. The author went beyond his past efforts in this novel and explained how magic works and some of the hierchy of the infernal realms.
Look for reprints of his past works too, especially: "the Dead," "Zorachus," "the Nightmare of God," and the Blood of the Lamb triology.
My one caution -- these tales are definitely not for the kids. Reader maturity is a must for these novels.

Summary: My jaw just dropped---in a good way
Comment: I was expecting something kind of ordinary from this book, but boy that was a mistake. This book really rattled my cage---there was plenty of sex, violence, magic and humor. It just delivered the works. The writing was real sharp, and the characters were cool. The only down side was too many typos, but I kind of got used to it. Pick this book up!
