Epic Novel for the "Big Screen"

I have literally read (and own) hundreds of fantasy fiction books, including epics such as the Lord of the Rings and the Chronicles of Narnia. These stories made it to the silver screen and I see the potential here for this piece. While reading the story you can imagine which actor and actresses could play their part. The characters are that well defined. Like the previously mentioned epics, the reader is able to go into the minds of both the "evil" and the "good" characters. The descriptive detail of the scenes and backrounds allow a visual which would be easily transferred to film. I have read the critiques thus far and remind the detractors that Rome wasn't built in a day. All books even the "Great Ones" were tweeked {and as well as for films}. I ask, does that take anything away from the writing? The obvious answer is no and that applies to Shadow Over Shandahar and it's Sequel Warrior of Destiny as well. To potential readers I say this..... If you want to read a novel with complexity of plot and character, this is a must read and a definite must have for a collector.

Great first book!

I have never been a D & D player, or even a fan of fantasy, but a friend recommended this book, and I very much enjoyed it. It has all the elements of a good story- likable characters, adventure, conflict, romance. Overall, this is a great start to a promising series.

a great novel

For any one who has ever been a fan of novel series such as the lord of the rings, or sword of truth, or even the wheel of time(my personal faverite) the Shandahar duo is a safe bet to keep you up into the wee hours of the night hatin the thought of putting the books down. This is the first in the Duo set that i bought from Ted Crim. After he promised me that as a fan of Fantasy novel i wouldnt be disapointed in the novels. i bought the set, and i have to say in the few years i've met ted and in the last year that i've been friends with him i've called him alot of things but i have never called him a liar. this book will caught you in a whirlwind of storys. with all the different personialitys in this book you will be keep on your toes wonderin what will happen next. I would recommand this novel to anyone who enjoys reading. and would like to escape the real world for a couple of hours. like i do.

No Shadow over Shandahar

I met the authors at Gen Con Indy last year and swapped books. I have been thoroughly entertained by Shadow over Shandahar. The plot and characters are very well played out, with interesting twists, but what makes this book really stand out to me is that the authors' personalities shine through in the writing...and that makes for a very good read! If you are seeking an epic and magical high-fantasy adventure, I recommend Shadow over Shandahar.
