Calgar's Siege by Paul Kearney

The Wolf in the Attic by Paul Kearney

Kings of Morning by Paul Kearney

Twenty-three years ago ten thousand Macht warriors marched into the heart of the Asurian Empire for a contract and a promise, were betrayed, and fought their way back out again. The most famous warrior of the Ten Thousand to still survive is Rictus of Isca, whose name lends weight to any...

Book 1: Hawkwood and the Kings (containing Hawkwood's Voyage and The Heretic Kings)

Having enjoyed his recent book, The Ten Thousand, I had notice that Monarchies of the God is going to be rereleased in omnibus form. Any comments on what they are like?

Growing up on an Antrim farm in the 1950s, young Michael Fay has an idyllic but hard-working life. However, he soon discovers that the woodland beyond the farm is a doorway to another place, a place of wonders and stark terrors which has a strange hold on his family and where he must travel to...

The Ten Thousand The Ten Thousand is the first Paul Kearney book that I have read, and it is as different a fantasy as I have ever read, and in fact, it is barely a fantasy. The only fantastic elements are that it is set on a different world — Kuf — with two moons, that the...

Kuf is a world with a civilisation in the early iron age, mostly united in a great Empire with the exception of the remote land of the Macht, a people of legendary military prowess who live in independent city-states reminiscent of ancient Greece, and who fight using weapons and tactics similar...

A few months back I noted The Ten Thousand as being one of my hot tips for 2008. Reading a lengthy preview that the author sent me a while back reinforced this feeling, and now reading the complete novel has confirmed my initial guess. Probably the most underread author in epic fantasy has...

Just done this review.

what a great great series.... unflinchingly brutal... surprisingly the series is pretty short 5 books 300 pages each. No one, i repeat, no one has written battles like Paul Kearney... the guy is insane i swear i felt like i was part of the regiment and his war tactics are so detailed... the guy...

Yeah, and the title isn't the greatest. The cashier giggled when I bought it. There isn't even a fricking unicorn in the book!

Oddly appropriate, given the topic "Is Fat Fantasy Killing the Genre" elsewhere, this piece of sad news has come to light. Paul Kearney, the excellent Irish fantasy author of three standalone novels (The Way to Babylon, A Different Kingdom and Riding the Unicorn) and a completed five-volume...

If there are any Paul Kearney fans hereabouts, you might be interested to know he's recently registered at malazan, and has kindly agreed to answer any questions you care to ask. The thread is at: http://malazan.com/eve/ubb.x/a/tpc/f/6666095091/m/5041061301

This is a stand alone book and though the title may give the impression of a soft edged story, don't be fooled, this is far from a soft story. There are two worlds in this story, one based on our own and the other very different, which the author manages to integrate very well throughout the...

Has anyone read any of his books?
