DANGEROUS MOONLIGHT
REVIEWED BY J. GRENFELL
Don't you love a huge piece of work that's layers and layers deep, where
you lose yourself in the characters, and the research is so detailed that when
you stop reading it's reality that feels unreal, because the book was so real
it 'beamed' you right into a 'nother-time-'nother-place.
DANGEROUS MOONLIGHT is MK's first historical in eons. I'm one of
those weird ones who actually prefer historicals over SF (and I know to duck
when I say that ... the rest of you have gotten me waaay outnumbered).
As they say, 'it was worth the wait.' This opus has all the wealth of detail
you find in FORTUNES OF WAR and all the action you find in THE DECEIVERS and
all the depth of characterization you find in WHITE ROSE. It's also great
that MK lets the characters 'talk properly.' By that I mean he doesn't have
them rattling on in stilted language, like 'faux-Shakespeare.' That
gets real old, real fast, and a lot of historicals suffer that way (MK's
being the welcome exceptions naturally). In DANGEROUS MOONLIGHT it's like
he took the dialog of 1730 etc. (which I don't think you'd understand ...
like trying to follow Shakespeare almost) and translated it into speech
that sounds 'real' to people in our era. Great job ... handsome heroes ...
derring do ... swashbuckling ... and a feel-good ending. What more could
you ask for? Oh yes, and some hot sex, too :)
DANGEROUS MOONLIGHT
REVIEWED BY "HOWLIN' MAD"
This has to be my fave MK book of em all. I had to fight for the book. I put
it down and couldn't find it again. My roommate had half-inched it. I didn't
even know he read gay fic but i couldn't get my clammy fingers on DM again for a
week, even though i was the one that paid for it! (I know i know, i told him
to get his own) I grew up with swashbucklers. I'm not that old, but my mum
was a big Errol Flynn fan. By the time i was like 9 i could see why < evil grin>.
Anyway, DM is another one of MK's best ones, like FOW, and they're like a
swashbuckler come to life and turned gay. Whooooooo!! Gotto love Nick and
Harry (don't ask me to pick a fave ... I'll take em both! At the same time!!)
Great story, great
detailing. I do like SF too but i wish MK would do more like this one. Rating:
at LEAST six stars out of five ... I never was able to figure out counting...
AVAILABLE FROM DREAMCRAFT? Yes.
