Anubis Murders
Anubis Murders | Gary Gygax
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Gary Gygax, father of fantasy roleplaying and the co-creator of the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game, weaves a fantastic tale of warring wizards that spans the world from the pyramids of ancient Egypt to the mist-shrouded towns of medieval England. Someone is murdering the world's most powerful sorcerers, and the trail of blood leads straight to Anubis, the solemn god known by most as the Master of Jackals. Can Magister Setne Inhetep, personal philosopher-wizard to the Pharaoh, reach the distant kingdom of Avillonia and put an end to the Anubis Murders, or will he be claimed as the latest victim?

I struggled with this one. There is a LOT of description - I get that he was trying to 'set the scene' because he was creating his own world, but surely he could have taken a leaf out of other authors books and realised that he could have left SOMETHING to the imagination. I probably skipped over important elements of the story trying to get through the swamp of descriptions. A good effort, but not my cup of tea.
