Book Reviews of Shardik
Book Review: Good vs Evil-- set in the heart of darkness.
Summary: 5 Stars
Picture a Jungle teaming with game and a young hunter within it--this hunter will go on to lead an Empire--the Empire will fail, however this one fails because of a Massive bear named Shardik! The Bear breaks loose from his prison in the Empire's city ( this bear is a holy bear sent from the gods, or he may even be a god himself )
Our young hunter-king goes after him...but the hunter fails in his mission after long searching and finally winds up at the mercy of a Sadistic Slave-owner called 'Genshed'
The character Genshed by chance ( or fate ) is killed by the Great bear Shardik--Shardik, starving and exhausted dies with him. ( is Shardik a god or just a bear?)
Finally the last 80 pages are the best: an envoy from a distant land--this envoy is a cultured fellow who speaks many languages and dresses like an Aristocrat, he as come to the jungle to trade with the people, and see what diplomatic arrangements can be made with them. He learns about the kingdom that fell because of a bear, but naturally, he doesnt understand or doesnt believe the story ' primitive's and their backwardness '.
