I’ve always been a fan of classic fantasy: the pulse pounding action of Robert E. Howard’s stories, the unforgettable characters of Glen Cook, George R. R. Martin (has he been around long enough to be "classic"?), and Michael Moorcock, the memorable worlds of Roger Zelazny and J.R.R.Tolkien. But these days, it’s rare for a fantasy author to create a world where the characters are complex — the way people are in real life. In life, most villains think they’re the good guys. They don’t see the evil that they do. They only know that their ends justify their means. But in fantasy stories, all too often, the bad guys wear the black hats, the good guys, the white. The grey, though, that’s where the fun is. That’s where the real characters live; not the cartoon cutouts. They’re the ones that you’ll never forget. Providing that to my readers, coupled with action scenes that are tactically sound and believable (at least within the context of a fantasy world!), is what I offer in the Harbinger of Doom series. Gateway to Nifleheim (the first book in the series), at first may appear standard sword and sorcery fare, and in some ways the opposite of what I described above, but look deeper, read closer, and read on to the other books in the series, which spiral outward into a world of epic fantasy as intriguing and complex as those created by Martin or Erikson. I write these books that way, because, simply, those are the kind of stories that I want to read.
THE HARBINGER OF DOOM SAGA
The Harbinger of Doom saga centers around the Lord Angle Theta, an enigmatic warrior of unknown origins and mystical power. No mortal man is his match in battle. No sorcery can contain or confound him. No scholar or sage can outwit him. But for all his skills, he is but one of us; a man, a human, who shares our faults, our dreams, and our ambitions. He boldly strides across the land, fearless, peerless, and cloaked in mystery, all his will bent on righting such wrongs as he deems fit.
Until the day the Gateway opened and turned the world on its head. On that fateful day, Korrgonn, Lord of Nifleheim, came and set his unholy mark upon our world, Midgaard, and claimed it for his own.
Only Theta and his companions see the enemies aligning against us. Only they foresee our end coming – the end of civilization, the end of the world of man. Only they can hope to turn the tide of madness and preserve all that we hold dear.
But no man, not even our greatest hero, can stand against the Lords of Nifleheim and the dark armies at their command. Fiends that infiltrate unseen within our ranks, that tear down our temples and our traditions, that devour us from within, unseen, unknown, unheralded, and unopposed until the hour grows far too late.
Through the murk and mist that hangs before our eyes, one man only sees true. One man pierces the veil of magic that blinds us all and marks the world as it truly is, revealing secrets, secrets of Angle Theta, so horrifying as to shatter a man’s mind and call into question the very nature of good and evil.
Join us now on our journey back to the days of high adventure.

Below are some of my favorite books. If you haven't read them, give them a try! Ah, but read mine first...
 
Glen Cook's Chronicles of the Black Company is a classic sword and sorcery series.

Michael Moocock has written some of the finest fantasy tales ever. Elric is the best known of his heroes.
|
 
Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. If you haven't read this series by Leiber, you must.
|
 
Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. The original, against which all others are judged.
|
 
Joe Abercrombie is one of the new masters of fantasy. Read his stuff.

Robert E. Howard may well be my favorite fantasy author. My favorite of his characters is Solomon Kane. Read this!
