E_S Salvatore's Exile trilogy wasn't one of my favorites. But I really liked Homeland. It ws great seeing where Drizzt really came from. Troy Denning wrote bad? I rather liked The Parched Sea, The Veiled Dragon, and Crucible: The Trial of Cyric the Mad. I have to admit that I never really got into the Return of the Archmages trilogy. What's the word on the Twilight Giants trilogy? I've got all the books but haven't gotten around to reading them.

Ive read all his stuff and his action writing really is unparalleled in everything he writes. Nobody gets the blood running like him, but as far as depth and texture in the story itself, The Dark Elf Trilogy is, IMHO, his finest works.
Excellence posted: That could work to an advantage. But how how varied is one Salvatore-Drizzt book to another? Reviews I've seen say it's just the usual kick-the-villian-butt action after another.

Say, any Forgotten Realms comics? I can't see anything from the Dabel Brothers' 2006 agenda. A holonet search turned up some old ones.
