Tome 4

Desert Funeral

 

"Grimm Shado triple-somersaulted off his Rocket Horse and looked back at the bridge, still exploding awesomely (and dangerously). He muttered grimly - "Hope you like toast."" -Desert Funeral, page 3

 

Tome 4: Desert Funeral introduces us to Mind Mechanics; particularly Doctor Rhaja of the University of Karpithon. The first chapter of the book depicts Draven Mechanakorging strapped into a chair in a darkly lit room. After some questioning its clear he's not going to talk and so Doctor Rhaja fits this metal helmet he calls a Mind Wrench onto his head and pushes some buttons on a control panel. Draven screams and then his face goes slack.

 

In the next scene Grimm Shado is riding a Rocket Horse across a bridge which spans the rocky Insanity Gorge being chased by the Astral Banditos. Just as he's half way across the bridge he pulls out a detonator and blows it. The timed charges go off just as he passes over each section of bridge, the explosions ripping the thing apart. He gets to the other side just as the last charge blows and the flames rush past him in a totally sweet way. He looks back over the bridge and says something extreme.

 

Anyway, when Grimm turns around there's Draven sitting on a rock next to the bridge whittling a stick still with a slack expression on his face. Grimm figures out pretty quickly (Extremely quickly, one might say) that there's something wrong with his friend, who doesn't recognize him at all. What could have happened, and what does this have to do with the secrets of Grimm's mysterious past? All is revealed in Tome 4 of the exciting The Song of the Sorcelator series.

 

Tome 4 was released on November 4th, 2006. Some wonder if this was meant to compete with the November release of the 10th anniversary edition of The Elemenstor Cycle Book 1: The Fires of Mount Windice, by Realmworlds Publishing.

 

Literary Criticism

Interestingly enough, the famous literary critic and poet Huzzan Jamal wrote an extended piece on the symbolic relationships that were depicted in TSotS, between Grim his pirate space hooker sidekick, and how they finely captured the zeitgeist of modern western society as a whole.
