This book is a salute to the old pulp fiction novels (Conan, Tarzan) of the past.  It’s a collection of 5 stories, each set in a different time period.  One story is a sword and Sorcery story, another Post Apocalyptic, others are historical, or what if historical tales.

Each tale presents likeable characters.  My 2 favorite stories was The Bloodstained Defile and Barbarian Nation.  The Bloodstained Defile created a trio of unlikely partners who in their first adventure form a partnership of sorts.  Barbarian Nation presents a story post fall of America.  It seems a civil war divided the country, and two opposing sides of the former military battle for survival.

There is strong situations, etc. so I’d recommend this for older teens, etc. but if you are a fan of Pulp Fiction books of the past, then I think you might like it.

*Disclaimer* A special thanks goes out to Henry for a review copy of this book. It in no way influenced my review.
