                 If you liked Anubis Gates you will also certainly like
The Drawing of The Dark. This is his first book and it is mostly out of
print, but is worth searching for if you're ready for Evil Turks, King
Arthur, drunken Vikings, and Dark Beer. 

                                        The Wombat .:.
