Title: Gaal the Conqueror
Author: John White
Rating: Four and a Half Guitars
Sizzilin' Summary:
John's back in Anthropos, as well as his new friend Eleanor. Eleanor runs away from home, and when John and his dad follow her, they find an entry into Anthropos! John follows Eleanor into Anthropos, and into a new adventure.
Things have changed. The "humans", the Regenskind, are under a spell. Only Gaal, the mysterious Son of the High Emperor, can break the spell, which keeps people under the control of the Circle of Nine. Shagah, servant of the Lord Lunacy, is also making a ton of trouble... especially now, since John the Sword Bearer is supposed to lock him up!
With tons of magic, how can John and Eleanor hope to serve Gaal... especially when he's supposed to die?!?
Rockin' Review:
No doubt about it now. This series is Christian! This book just proves it. I'm not giving spoilers, though. Sorry!
Again, more of a relaxing read. But this is the second of the Archives of the Anthropos series, and I seem to have this "thing" about reading a bunch of books of the same series in the row, so that may be it. But this was still a very good book.
If yah find it, get it!

The Sword Bearer
Title: The Sword Bearer
Author: John White
Rating: Four and a Half Guitars
Sizzilin' Summary:
On John's 13th birthday, he believes that he will finally learn the secret of the ring and locket that he's got... as well of his parents, who he never knew. But when he returns home from school, he finds his grandma dead! Then a terrible man comes along to take him.
What else does John do, but run away? But he is transported to the magical world of Anthropos, where he discovers that he is to be the Sword Bearer, and the slayer of the Goblin Prince. He also meets the mysterious and powerful seer Mab, and the Matmon, natives of the world.
But first he has a lot to learn about the mysterious Changer, who rules all things...
Rockin' Review:
Some of you might have picked this up at the last comment, but this book is definitely Christian. But don't let that bug yah! It's still an extremely rockin' book! The story was great! There were a few writing glitches (like, we sometimes knew stuff the character didn't), so that was why it lost a half-guitar. But, otherwise, it was a wonderful story.
Definitely get this book! It's totally rockin'!

Indiana Jones and the Dance of the Giants
Title: Indiana Jones and the Dance of the Giants
Author: Rob MacGregor
Rating: Four Guitars
Sizzilin' Summary:
Indy has landed a job at a college, and already a student's on his nerves. Her name is Deirdre Campbell, daughter of his boss!
Don't worry... this book doesn't all take place at college! It wouldn't be Indiana Jones! Indy joins Deirdre and her mom on a dig for a golden scroll... one that could prove the existence of Merlin!
But Indy and the Campbells aren't the only ones looking for the scroll! A power-hungry man is after the scroll as well, and is also concerned with Stonehenge...
And the Omphalos stone that Indy found at Delphi!
Rockin' Review:
This book was much better than its predecessor! Mr. MacGregor really managed to get up and going after the first book. Hey, sometimes folks need to take their first steps as well! But all's good now... it still didn't have the luster of the movie novels, but it's still a very good book to read.
So, if you see it, even if you just want to learn about Indy's past a bit, get this book!

Force of Arms
Title: Force of Arms
Author: Jack McKinney
Rating: Four and a Half Guitars
Sizzilin' Summary:
The first Robotech War is almost over. Now both Breetai's and Commander Gloval's forces are in trouble from the head Zentraedi, Dolza, and the Grand Fleet. And the UEDC still refuses to listen! The fate of humanity and many Zentreadi rests in this last battle...
Will anyone make it out alive?!?
Rockin' Review:
This was a very good book. It didn't hit the five-guitar because it wasn't as enjoyable as a five-guitar, but it was still very good. The point of view problem was nonexistent in this book.
Have you seen this Robotech book in an used bookstore? Then hope it's still there, because I say get it!
