At times our protagonists are likeable and others they are weird and seemingly out of touch with themselves and each other. I guess that is what makes them work. Those personalities thrown into a Lovecraftian/Dr. WHOish world makes for fun reading. Not as deep and heady as his other work but a nice distraction. ( ) Queen Zura intends to unleash her zombie armies on the Dreamlands, and only Hero and Eldin can save the day! This time the battle takes to the air aboard a host of flying ships, with abundant secondary characters and a touch of Lumley's usual horror too. Not quite as good as 'Hero of Dreams' but still a brilliant, short, fast-paced adventure tale. You know that dream where you're fighting zombie saboteurs in the machinery bowels beneath the city, and you're naked? Or the one where the cadaverous old man teaches you to charm the giant woodlouse with song? Or the one where you and your best friend have to defeat the skyborne naval forces of the evil queen? Well, they're in this book anyway. This second volume of Lumley's series set in the "lands of Earth's dreams" carries over the main protagonists from the first book. The story reads very quickly, and has more of an integrated plot system than the previous volume, which seemed more episodic. In addition to taking over the setting from H.P. Lovecraft, Lumley here increasingly shows a debt to Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories, even going so far as to title the first chapter "Ill Met in Celephais." Like much of the Lumley I've read, this book is "empty calories," but the aftertaste is nothing but pleasant. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Gehört zur ReiheDreamlands (2)
Once David Hero was an ordinary man living in the real world. Now he is trapped in the Dreamlands, cut off from the waking world. David Hero's dreams and nightmares have become his only reality. Led by wickedly beautiful Queen Zura, the zombie armies of the dead are on the march. They will destroy the beautiful Dreamlands, making them a permanent, deadly nightmare. Unaware of the marauding zombies, David Hero and his friend Eldin voyage through the clouds in a wondrous skyship. Their journey is interrupted by a pack of faceless nightgaunts, terrifying creatures, half-man and half-bat--and all evil David Hero is one of Zura's first targets. As a man of the waking world, he can withstand her terrible seductive power and shatter her shambling armies. David Hero must be the first Dreamlands hero to die.
