The Death Ray

Having read [b:Oath of Nerull 848767 Oath of Nerull (Dungeons & Dragons Novel) T.H. Lain http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178881753s/848767.jpg 834280], I kinda tried not to expect too much out of this book - and that turned out better. I didn't realise that Regdar and Naull were featured in an earlier book so there's some not-so-good continuity here, as you're left wondering what happened between Regdar and Naull.The villain was actually portrayed and orchestrated pretty well, so a good point there. The protagonist, Regdar, he kind of reminds me of Conan. The reader is reminded at certain points on how big Regdar is, but sadly, at other crucial points, his girth is conveniently not mentioned.The overall writing style was decent, although, as with Oath of Nerull, the author attempts some weak humor at certain points, with some of them turning out to be cliched. I liked some of them action, corny and cliche, but still pretty well told, if you'd overlooked one or two scenes that had obvious problems with it. Still, the storyline is halfway decent - like a D&D adventure - which is smack on the target for this series.
