A slayer...a reaver...Dark haired...sullen eyed...gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth...hey, who are we talking about here? Not who you're thinking of! It's Imaro, by Charles Saunders, a response from an African-American writer to the works of fantasy writers like Robert E Howard. Saunders loved the brutal action and fantasy of REH and hated the unvarnished racism in his stories, and as a result created the genre of "sword and soul", with a secondary-world fantasy Africa and a black version of Conan. It's a worthy successor to Howard's pulp fantasy, and a rip-roaring good time!
