Summary: "Bow to logic," said the woman. "Read this book."
Comment: I found Night of the Long Knives to be an outstanding book. I will read it again; it's just a matter of years until I can get the vivid descriptions out of my head. Night of the Long Knives, the last chapter in the story of Zancharthus, contains the uniqueness and originality I've come to expect from Mark E. Rogers. His writing is involved and his characters are intriguing. Some are depraved, some indifferent but cruel, all of them are interesting. They seem so sharp and well defined; if they represent real people I'd like to meet them.
I can't do his book justice in a paragraph or two. I can say that I've read a lot of fantasy, science fiction, fiction, and nonfiction. Of all the books I have read, this book will stick with me. Whether it's a bizarre scene of men rallying to kill an enormous spider, the mad scramble of friends trying to escape a shrinking mountain surrounded by sharks, or a depraved priest paying to have a prostitute u**inate into an open wound on his chest, I think I got my money's worth.
I always know a book is especially good when I stare at the last page and slowly backtrack, thumbing through the last few pages, savoring them, letting the affect of the story wash over me. Except I can't accept that it's over, I want more.
Will I share this book and the ones before it with my friends? Absolutely! I want them to read these books (Blood + Pearls, Jagutai and Lilitu, and Night of the Long Knives) so we can talk about them, argue what we think the author meant or just agree that they are enjoyable. I'm sure we will know, that in the end, there's always salvation

Summary: More good stuff
Comment: For those of you that have read Mark Rogers before you should know what you are in for. Filled with wizard priests, warriors, action, sex, fantastic battles, monsters, religious and political disputes, this book is nothing like a typical fantasy novel. Such depth and imagination are put into each character, each one is fasinating. It is well written with the words painting the scenery and action vividly in the readers mind. And if you completely lack an imagination of your own, the book is filled with art done by the auther. The artwork alone is worth the price of the book. Night of the Long Knives is the 3rd and final book telling the story of Zancharthus. It is a very fun read and well worth taking a look at.

Summary: Chaos - .... - Violent Intrigue
Comment: Mark Rogers writes a heady mix of sword/sorcery, .... and political machinations unlike anything I've found in decades of reading. In Hollywood high-concept parlance, you could say Karl Edward Wagner's Kane meets Machiavelli in the Kama Sutra, mixed with odd religious overtones. I have several of Mark's paintings hanging in my house and they ooze the same tension of .... freedom and impending violence that his writing puts into more specific terms. Other reviews on this page will give more of a plot line; I just want to recommend for the stout of heart, that this is a series worth reading. I only give it four stars because you do need to read the first two books to fully enjoy the ride. Nicely demented!!
