Me like crab book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I am a huge fan of the crab because they are huge and they grunt. The fact that they stand on their wall and bash goblin heads in all day long only adds to that. I have read all the l5r books and this is the 2nd best. If you read this you have to read the Unicorn too.
A Triumph of a Novel
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I believe Stan! was able to properly capture the essence of what it means to be a Crab while not portraying that clan as a bunch of war-driven simps. The book has its share of high and low points, but considering this is the first novel-length work from Mr. Brown, I can hardly see how he could have done better. The novel more than met my expectations and I look forward to future works from Stan!
The Crab save the empire!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is a wonderful book. Stan! Brown writes an amazing tale of swordplay and evil. When I got this book it didnt seem as though it would be as good as the previous 4 books, but it definitely was. The storyline is from a much different perspective than that of the other books. All of the other clans think the Crab are uncivilized slobs. This book really shows the true Crab, and how much they would give up for the Emerald Empire. This book has the longest span, streching from before "The Scorpion" by Stephen D. Sullivan to the middle of the next book, "The Dragon" by Ree Soesbee. It is a masterful tale, and if you have read the first four books or even if you havent, this is a wonderful addition to the Legend of the Five Rings storyline.
