If I re...Three Hearts and Three Lions is excellent. If I recall correctly it inspired the green-skinned regenerating troll trope in D&D (I believe Gygax himself said so), as well as the paladin character class. <br /><br />My favorite Anderson novel remains The Broken Sword, which I can't recommend highly enough.Brian Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05563309422791320114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021420460640068811.post-44691225739309680002010-06-14T18:40:46.216-04:002010-06-14T18:40:46.216-04:00I have not read Brain Wave, so I cannot comment ot...I have not read Brain Wave, so I cannot comment other than to say if Poul Anderson wrote it, it is likely a good read. <br /><br />A friend from gaming group also blogs about literature. There was an Anderson post not too long ago.<br />http://thesilverkey.blogspot.com/2009/12/cimmerian-sighting-fantasy-worthy-entry.html<br /><br />I like the characterization of the Dane and the struggles he encounters as a holy warrior. Anderson is a master of the light touch with amazing depth.Barad the Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09511410827757898750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021420460640068811.post-12826585503880164532010-06-13T21:16:13.899-04:002010-06-13T21:16:13.899-04:00I read Three Hearts and Three Lions last year. It&...I read Three Hearts and Three Lions last year. It's just the type of "swashbuckling" adventure that I enjoy reading. I'm reading Anderson's Brain Wave at the moment and I'll have to say, it is great sci-fi literature. I also have The Broken Sword and a few other Anderson works on my shelves waiting to be read. Oh yeah, turns out my DM has just read The High Crusade.Chris Creelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15993487911122629839noreply@blogger.com
