FANTASY REVIEW: The Adventures of Florin and Lorenzo: Robert Earl


BOOK BLURB:

When a life of debt and debauchery catches up with him, Bretonnian nobleman Florin d’Artaud is forced to flee his homeland and turn to a life of adventure. Accompanied by his manservant Lorenzo, Florin travels to the wildest reaches of the Old World, battling all manner of strange foes. From the steamy jungles of Lustria to the icy wastes of the Ogre Kingdoms, will our heroes ever find enough gold and glory to let them return home? (Contains the novels The Burning Shore, Wild Kingdoms, Savage City and the short story Haute Cuisine.)


REVIEW:

Collected here for the first time is the trilogy of Robert Earl books featuring the epic partnership of Florin and Lorenzo who are not only trying to keep their backsides ahead of the chasing pack of debt collectors but are also trying to get rich quick from one quirky scheme to another. Well written, a full frolic in a fantasy adventure and topped off with a sense of humour the reader also gets a short story that will make them cry for more. Add to the mix the fact that it’s a compendium and you really are getting value for money with this release, a must given the current economic problem.
