Slave of Chu Kutall ReviewIn a publishing world where it seems that just about every fantasy story out there insists on being part of some sweeping trilogy or epic series, set in worlds filled with more back history than the poor reader can keep track of, Slave of Chu Kutall is a refreshing change. What Michael McCloskey offers the reader is a world rife with fantastical creatures, fabulous weapons, magical monsters, strange lands, and most importantly, a half-orc protagonist named Nergal. Nergal escapes from a slave galley, and is forced to adapt to cultures and customs quite alien to him as he joins, somewhat unwittingly, a questing band of adventurers who seek to dispel a great evil from the local kingdom. This book will get you to laugh thoroughly as it offers glimpses into the simple-but-perceptive thought processes within Nergal's orcish mind; Nergal's struggles to understand and be understood by his companions are at turns touching and hilarious.
At first glance, the plot of this book might seem a bit trite, with its dragon-slaying, its plethora of strange races, and its quests against monsters and evil wizards. But McCloskey reminds us of why such devices became trite in the first place--he makes them fun again. As much as the book will inspire laughter, it can also get the blood pumping with action sequences reminiscent of the best of Robert E. Howard. And to a great degree, the effectiveness of both humor and action can be attributed to the depth of Nergal as a character. More than the simple gimmick of a humanized monster, Nergal routinely crosses the lines between nobility and baseness, heroism and evil, maturity and peurility, and cleverness and brute stupidity, often without noticing that there might even seem to be a contradiction between one and the other. As Nergal's tale progresses, this book will take you to strange lands, threaten you with hideous monsters, confront you with bizarre forms of intelligent life, dazzle you with spells and enchantments, thrill you with battles and duels, and keep you entertained to the very last word.Slave of Chu Kutall OverviewAfter escaping from a slave ship, the half-orc Nergal swims to shore, eager to begin his new life of freedom. When he meets a band of heroes including an elf, a beautiful warrior-priestess, and two brave knights, he isn't looking for an adventure—he's just looking for an easy meal!

But the impressionable young Nergal soon begins to feel a kinship with these heroes who are on an important mission to an abandoned castle. Dark forces are marshalling against them, and Nergal is viewed as an asset in the quest to stop the evil threatening their kingdom. He joins these unlikely companions, even though he believes that if his brutal past becomes known, his heroic friends will not hesitate to destroy him.

As he grows into a mighty force for good, Nergal must hide his past. He becomes drawn into a struggle between nations and hunts for a monk-wizard who creates deadly monsters to aid the cause of an ancient sect's draconian rule over other peoples. Nergal's adventures take him to lands unknown where he will facechallenges greater than he anticipated. But when the smoke clears, there will be nodoubts as to Nergal's true nature.
