这本书在当年流行一时的Top25里面位列16位。 以下是评价: ——改变历史。公元600年,罗马并未沦陷。东罗马帝国将加入西罗马帝国中,以便对威胁它的君斯坦丁堡的敌人,波斯,进行侵袭。以史诗战斗、美女及强大的魔法为特征。《帝国的誓言》是个会以它的魔力让你的头发咝咝作...
评分刚开始翻译的时候,说实话,觉得叙事慢,有点烦躁。我自己是个没什么耐心的人,唯有翻译的时候稍微能沉下心。一点一点啃下来,慢慢被一些人物打动,尤其是巴尔米拉城破,女王战死,艾哈迈德落入敌手,那真真是翻完落下一滴热泪。然书中涉及知识太广,尽管有作者托马斯先生和其...
评分从尼罗河到两河、从地中海到黑海、从亚平宁到亚拉腊、从永恒之城到泰西封......这部小说的场面很大,涉及的江山和城邦跨越亚非欧,世界是现成的,不像很多奇幻小说里的世界都是虚拟出来的;有些事件历史上曾发生过、有些人物历史上曾存在过,并不是子虚乌有,只不过关公的对手...

评分●除了《冰与火之歌》我应该没看过其他的国外奇幻小说,《指环王》和《龙枪》都没看过,所以我的评论非常外行,只是自己的感觉。 ●第一册真的很难看的下去,在没有和书中人物建立起情感联系的情况下,把剧情全景式铺陈叙述,作者野心很大,可读者太吃力了。 ●POV写作方式有时...

In what would be A.D. 600 in our history, the Empire still stands, supported by the Legions and Thaumaturges of Rome. Now the Emperor of the West, the Augustus Galen Atreus, will come to the aid of the Emperor of the East, the Augustus Heraclius, to lift the siege of Constantinople and carry a great war to the very doorstep of the Shahanshah of Persia. It is a war that will be fought with armies both conventional and magical, with bright swords and the darkest necromancy. Against this richly detailed canvas of alternate history and military strategy, Thomas Harlan sets the intricate and moving stories of four people. Dwyrin MacDonald is a Hibernian student at a school for sorcerers in Upper Egypt, until he runs afoul of powerful political interests and is sent off half-trained to the Legions. His teacher, Ahmet,undertakes to follow Dwyrin and aid him, but Ahmet is drawn into service with the queen of Palmeyra. Thyatis is a young female warrior, extensively trained by her patron in the arts of covert warfare. And Maxian Atreus is Galens youngest brother, a physician and sorcerer. He has discovered that an enemy of Rome has placed a dreadful curse on the City, which must be broken before Rome can triumph. Woven with rich detail youd expect from a first-rate historical novel, while through it runs yarns of magic and shimmering glamours that carry you deeply into your most fantastic dreams. The best news is that this is Thomas Harlans first novel. Clearly this is the beginning of a long and lustrous career. ~ Orson Scott Card Tom Harlan is a writer to watch, a writer with a great future ahead of him. I anxiously await his next book. Come on, Tom, write faster. ~Dennis L. McKiernan
