downloaded Armsbearer and Mindbreaker, 2 books by Thomas Head. they're billed as being recommended for fans of conan.
i'm currently reading the 1st book Armsbearer. its very pulp and very "british" feeling like something that wouldn't be out of place in a copy of 2000 AD. he has an unusual, almost minimalist writing style but i'm liking it a lot so far.
"Magnatius Ginty, a former monk, is easily angered. And that's on a good day. When his village is razed, his beloved lord killed, and the lady of the house stolen away, he does the unthinkable, he sets out after the bastards. But his decision set him on a collision course with the thing that stirs in the haunted farmscapes of his homeland. It is an ancient cold, an evil that quickens from the depths. It dreams of tooth-work. And it knows his name.
In the first of an utterly engaging new series, Magnatius Ginty, a hard man with a penchant for soft ladies, makes the biggest decision of an already difficult life. Get to know him in ARMSBEARER, a breathlessly fun fantasy novel with both chills and chuckles alike. The fights come quick and furious, and the story is filled with characters as strange as life and dialogue as quick and clever as Magnatius' sword. It is a tale about dragons of a different sort, men whose sorcery is heavy doses of wit and arse-stomping."
both books were 99 cents each on amazon.
