Title: R.A. Salvatore Post by: den68 on December 29, 2005, 04:31:26 AM anyone ever read anything by this guy? I know he does a lot of those Forgotten Realms books. I picked up 3 of his books for a quarter apiece yesterday. They were part of a series called "Spearweilders Tale". I got:
The Wood's Out Back The Dragons Dagger Dragonslayers Return Title: Re: R.A. Salvatore Post by: Tynstar on December 29, 2005, 06:38:20 AM I have read 14 of his Forgotten Realms books and I loved all of them.
I have 19 of his Forgotten Realms books. Title: Re: R.A. Salvatore Post by: den68 on December 29, 2005, 07:42:08 AM ever heard of the Spearweilder series?
I have these Salvatore Realms books: Exile Sojourn The Crystal Shard The Legacy Starless Night Siege of Darkness The Silent Blade The Spine of the World Title: Re: R.A.

I have these Salvatore Realms books: Exile Sojourn The Crystal Shard The Legacy Starless Night Siege of Darkness The Silent Blade The Spine of the World No I haven't. Is it a FR series? I really only pay attention to Forgotten Realms, DragonLance, Dark Sun and Ravenloft books. I have read the rest you listed. The series that Exile and Sojourn are in is a great series. The Crystal Shard that is part of the Icewind Dale series came out first but the Dark Elf series is a prequel to teh Icewind Dale series. Title: Re: R.A. Salvatore Post by: den68 on December 29, 2005, 09:44:19 AM no they aren't Forgotten Realms. they aren't TSR or Wizards of the Coast booke either, they are by Ace.

To me he will be the author that created Drizzt Title: Re: R.A. Salvatore Post by: Zimbacca on December 29, 2005, 09:47:55 PM Quote To me he will be the author that created Drizzt Same here. I say go with the Drizzt saga, which it appears you have some of. There are 17 books in it (I think) and all that I have read have been awesome. I actually picked up a pre-release copy of Sea of Swords today. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v326/freak-boy124/3b85554a.jpg) Title: Re: R.A. Salvatore Post by: den68 on December 30, 2005, 01:39:36 PM I've yet to read anything by Salvatore but it sounds like he's one of the big guns in the sci-fi/fantasy realm.
Title: Re: R.A. Salvatore Post by: Tynstar on December 31, 2005, 08:43:00 AM Where did you get that pre release? Freaking AWESOME!!!!!!
Title: Re: R.A. Salvatore Post by: Zimbacca on December 31, 2005, 01:06:09 PM Powels book store. This place is fucking huge; it takes up an entire block. I was originally looking for the rest of the Drizzt saga, but then I saw the pre-release and picked it up instead.

Title: Re: R.A. Salvatore Post by: Tynstar on January 02, 2006, 03:41:19 PM Quote He doesn't even write his books anymore. He gets ghost writers to do it. Wha? His ideas other people write the story? Title: Re: R.A. Salvatore Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on January 02, 2006, 06:06:26 PM I dunno I read it somewhere. Or maybe the Evil Leon told me.

You mean like Ghostwriter, the early 90's weekday afternoon kids' show!? Holy crap, I want one of those! XD - Zac Title: Re: R.A. Salvatore Post by: den68 on January 21, 2006, 04:13:17 PM I found another Salvatore book today. this one is called "The Sword of Bedwyr". It's part of a series called the Crimson Shadow.
Title: Re: R.A. Salvatore Post by: Mike Leon on January 30, 2006, 09:53:14 PM Drizzt is my grandma. But I've heard from several people that the last few of Salvatore's books were ghost written. I'm not sure if there's any way to prove it. It's just what some of his fans told me. Also I heard that the last War of the Spider Queen book is so abominable it should be burned and read by no one.
