It appears Szass Tam is about to make his move.

Unclean

Good. You understand now.

I’m not your beloved anymore. I’m Unclean -- foul, and a slave to creatures fouler still.

Please . . . please . . . destroy me if you can.

Looks like Salvatore is finally going to deal with that giant cliff hanger he created in "The Two Swords." The next Drizzt novel, titled "The Orc King", comes out this September in hard cover.

Has anyone read The Yellow Silk? Apparently it features a bard as the lead and there is a monk character as well. The cover depicts the monk kicking someone in the face.

Sweet! The things you find when you stroll through the forums. happy

I just got introduced to the Realms in a D&D campaign I'm currently in. It's set post Time of Troubles. I a play slightly scatterbrained cleric of Mystra who's party is about to enter Waterdeep.

I do intend to start picking up the books. Can anyone give a good suggestion as to where to start?

Do any of you have a list (in order) of the books and how they should be read?

The Wizards web site has a list in chronological order of all the FR fiction.

I'm pretty sure I mentioned this book before. I just picked up the first of the Haunted Lands series which is called Unclean. It appears to be all about the Zulkirs of Thay finally going to war with each other.

You are welcome too.

This ,Unclean, is pretty good. Not great! But decent. Szass Tam is definately trying to take over. The Zulkirs are trying to keep him in check, but it appears he has ways around them. I have not finished yet so I don't know if Tam will get beyond his first real hurdle. A couple of Zulkirs are killed off, one especially famous among FR fans, but his death is implied. The good guy making his way through the book is a bard who had just returned from a 6 year jaunt around the Realms to find his girlfriend, who he had left behind, had been sold into slavery and was sent on her way to the Red Wizards. I'll be honest that I would rather there were less of the good guys and more of the Zulkirs, but the situation between the bard and his lady is interesting.

I picked up the TPB for the Legend of Drizzt re-issue of Streams of Silver, and it happened to have the titles for the latest Drizzt series, which called Transitions. They are The Orc King, which will be released later this year, the Pirate King, which has a 2008 release, and the Ghost King, which has a 2009 release date.

Also, I've piked up the comic adaption of the Crystal Shard, and found it to underwhelming. The series is pretty the diet version of the Drizzt novels.

Does anyone here know who is the author of the Crystal Shard comic?
