R.A. Salvatore

Well, I did a search for him and only came up with a few random posts. I'm surprised that there are not more people that read his books. I personally like his Forgotten Realms series the best. The ones with Drizzt and company. Just curious if there are any other R.A. Salvatore fans out there!

Come on Drizzt fans! Out of the shadows now!

Nice job sai. I personally love Salvatore (the Forgotten Realms stuff... don't know about much of his other stuff other than that he killed Chewbacca in a star wars book). The Wulfgar/Drizzt team is the ultimate in badassedness, though Cadderly gets himself pretty huge too. Does anyone know when the last Hunter's Blades book is comin out?

yeah... I thought he wrote a star wars book, probably more than one too... haven't read the one you mentioned though Dizzle

Umm, the last Hunter's Blade book is out already. It came out last fall sometime.

The Two Swords

Now I know we have to wait a few years to get back to Drizzt and Co. I think the next book is Jaralaxle or Enteri...

Happy to see some RAS fans here! *squeals*

From what I've read of his stuff in STAR WARS: THE NEW JEDI ORDER - Vector Prime, (the SW book alluded to above), he's a pretty good author. I believe he's also going to write another set after that series....I might pick up this other book series that the person above mentioned....

i'm reading some of frogotten realms, but it is not written by him, just edited, or something.

It seems more people know him for his work on Star Wars than the Forgotten Realms books or even his own series....

Are you joking me... I've been kind of occupied with the WOT series lately, so I haven't gone near a bookstore in months. Thanks though, Imma need to go get a copy now...

After the end of Servant of the Shard i've been waiting for a "Life and Times of Jarlaxle" book, so that's good news.

Yeah, it will be interesting to read more about him....

His Star Wars book was great. He did a great way of introducing a whole new storyline and conflict. Very good writer.

Salvatore is one of my favorite authors. Drizzt Do'urden is one the coolest book characters I've come across.

The only complaint I have is the lack of variety in fodder. He's always killing orcs. Why can't he fight a beholder or something?

There are just too many orcs....lol

And he's not always killin orcs. As a main battle thing, the Hunter's Blades trilogy and the Icewind Dale Trilogy are the only ones with huge orc armies. And Icewind Dale has Akar Kessel. Dark Elf trilogy its drow, mostly Zak, Legacy of the Drow he kills more drow, including the Baenre upstart. And oh yea, Artemis. Entreri. Da badass. I almost like him n Jarlaxle more than Drizzt. There really were a lot of orcs in Hunters Blades though. (just finished the Two Swords, actually) I'm so pissed now. Cuz I wanted this thing over god dammit. Salvatore doesn't let He Who is Gruumsh die like he's supposed to. I'm gonna have to wait like 4 years for the conclusion to the orc war. Cuz the Companionsof the Hall are gettin together to find some place before they beat up Obould. And there's gonna be a Jarlaxle/Entreri book before those.

Read the first 2 trilogies Icewind Dale and the drow prequel one. Haven't read past those though. Good books!

I hate having to wait so long. *cries*

I wanna know what happens...NOW!!

Honestly, Robert is killin me here. I swear I hate that big orc... Doesn't know when he's thoroughly gotten stabbed in the side. And shot in the eye. And dropped in a big crack in the earth. And stuff. You know what would be really badass though... If Mielikki "answered" Grummsh's gift to Obould by superpowering Drizzt... Then they have a huge god battle. Cuz there was the pegasus of Mielikki in the Dark Elf trilogy to guard Montolio's grave, and now Drizzt flies around on a pegasus and such... Oh it would be so badass...

Yeah, he really does need to end that whole thing with the orcs. Though, this could be the fault of Forgotten Realms, and not him. *shrug*

Is it me or did Drizzt seem not so pimpinly amazing in the Two Swords as compared to his usual self? Maybe I'm being nostalgic, but Drizzt really seems to kick the most ass in the Dark Elf Trilogy with Zak and his various Entreri fights...

Salvatore is an incredibly cool author. However, he's hurting the DnD world a whole freekin lot. You should go to www.wizards.com/boards some time and see how people feel about dhaerow (the REAL notation, meaning traitor in elven). For Christ's sake, Drizzt is an awesome character, but now every angry 15-17 year old goth player has a drow two swords-wielding ranger character 🙁
