Though this book and its companion are now out of print, don't hestitate to buy them used. Like other reviewers here, I have read the Coramonde duology many times over the years, and enjoyed every reading. Though not high literature, these are two of the most readable and entertaining books I've ever read, and a personal benchmark for simply pleasurable fiction.
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!!

I'm sure most of us got started on Brian Daley through his Han Solo trilogy like I did. Then my cousin brought this book over called "The Doomfarers of Coramonde" and since it was from the author of some of my fav. Star Wars books, I gave it a shot. Boy am I glad that I did! An Armored Personnel Carrier gets [snatched] out of the middle of a fight [and sent] to another reality where they have to slay a dragon and rescue a sorceress... and that's only a small bit! It was very readable and believable (for a fantasy story). Of all Mr. Daley's books, this and "The Starfollowers of Coramonde" are probably my favorite that he's written. I still have to read the GammaLAW books and Tron, so my opinion *might* be subject to change, but for now, "The Doomfarers of Coramonde" and "The Starfollowers of Coramonde" remain my favorites.
Outstanding Sci-Fi Adventure

I've read this and the sequel (Starfollowers of Coramonde) many times over. One of my favorites of all time. The story is fast paced, and the characters are extremely believable. romance, humor, pitched battles and hair raising terror all under one title.
People OTHER than gamers get taken to a fantasy world!

An excellent pair of books. The book has a very "real" feel to it. The charcters tend to act more like people some of the other top authors.Brain Daley was a rare talent. He will be missed.
One of the few good modern person goes to fantasy land novel

Real enjoyable. I think I've read this book and its sequel (Starfollowers of Coramonde) several times. The characters are neat, the world is cool, and the story is well-paced.
