At first I was having a little trouble getting into the novel. I read about 1/3 of it and then it sat around for awhile.

I decided to give it another shot and just started over again. This actually helped and I burned through the book in the 2nd reading. Once I was more familiar with the characters and their names it seemed to be much easier to get into the story.

I should be able to get the last 3 novels off of Andy Lorince, but I guess I'll have to keep an eye out for Flamesong or purchase it online.

I found myself chuckling out loud at several parts during the book, especially when some of the characters were angry.

I plan on reading it over once more so I can jot notes down about specifics from the setting to use in my upcoming convention 1-shot game in November at a local convention in Pittsburgh.

Kudos to you! Both for the reading and especially for running a game.

Flamesong was published in 1985, just a year after Man of Gold, but apparently had a smaller print run. It's not as common as the first novel. Nonetheless, with a little searching you can find used copies for sale online for just a few dollars.

I've been trying to spread the good news about the setting in YouTube videos, and at my local convention. I just need to find more time to read all the material.
