When mad sorcerers open a gateway to the very pits of hell, releasing outre demons of darkest nightmare upon the world, only the intrepid knights of House Eotrus stand in their way. Claradon Eotrus takes up the mantle of his noble house to avenge his father and hold back the tide of chaos that threatens to engulf the world and destroy mankind. Claradon recruits Angle Theta and Gabriel Garn, mysterious knights of mystical power to stand with him. Theta and Garn take up their swords one last time against the coming darkness - a darkness from which only one will emerge.

A Journey of the mind and so much more!!
I am the first person to admit it, I love a good book. If I get in a bind, I read junk mail. Well, now I have something I can reread over and over again.
Harbinger
of
Doom
has just shattered everything I knew of the epic fantasy realm and created a sub genre all of its own. With a masterful craft of writing with sly wit you are pulled into an epic tale of of dark portions.
If you are like me, you will scream at the book, and several characters in certain parts as they become like kin folk. The characters own the pages, the story never disappoints, and thank God for this author!
In addition, if you are a Brian Lumley fan, I would suggest you give this book a try. A must for fantasy fans!

An Exciting Tale
I have just finishied my first reading of
Harbinger
of
Doom
. I found it to be exciting and well written.The characters are unforgetable and the descriptions are remarkable. I could visualize every scene and even can see it as a great movie. It is a story of knights, magic, conflict, adventure and intrigue. I say that it is my first reading because there are many subtlies that one misses the first time around. I will reread to find the ones that I missed. At the end of the book, I found myself questioning many of the things that I always thought were true. I hope to see more work by this author.

Glenn Thater's Dark Fantasy Stories
I find Mr. Thaters book
Harbinger
of
Doom
to be an excellent foray into dark story adventure,as well as his other writings,good story,good action. Excellent flow of the story line to hold the attention.overall very well done. The blatant attempt by a Mr.???? to portray this book as a poorly written and presented story, with his derogatory remarks is obviously aimed at self published authors, and the other fellow just followed suit.Take heart Mr. Thater your work is good and entertaining. If all of your writings overall continue to draw praise then these two idiots stand out for what they are.Reviews from people who don't like a story are certainly expected by every author,however vile attacks are not cool. Considering the amount of work it takes to produce a novel.If you don't like the story just say so, and why, and let it go at that.

Harbinger of Doom Delivers
Who can resisit a good sword and sorcery book? Not me. I thoroughly enjoyed reading
Harbinger
of
Doom
. It plunges you into a magic fog right at the start, and the action never stops!Fast-paced and exciting, it's a page turner.The characters are interesting folk. I loved the twist of the weak-kneed wizard, and the gnome was highly entertaining. I also smiled at the references a true sci-fi fan would appreciate.Clever nods to Dr. Who and Star Trek, to name but two!
There are dark secrets and many mysteries in this tale of good vs. evil.I hope it continues!

what if we've got it backwards?
Glenn Thater's "
Harbinger
of
Doom
", set in a world of men, gnomes, elves, and wizards, asks a tough question: what if we've got it all wrong? what if the God we follow turned bad, and the one we call the Devil is really a maligned angel on a quest to rid the world of evil?
So goes Thater's tale, and he tells it in a voice as pretentious as Tolkein's. His world is called Midgaard, its capital called Lormion. Thater populates Midgaard with knights, a young-man-turned-king, a belligerent gnome, a couple scardey-cat wizards, Sir Gabriel, and Lord Angle Theta, the Harbinger of Doom.
The sword and scorcery part of the book is fun, and there's a decent battle scene inside a black temple, but what fascinated me was the clever idea that Azathoth/Odin/God's heart turned black, and the one we know as the Bogeyman is really the one who is trying to save us. What a twist, and what an imagination!
