About this title

Synopsis

Richard La Plante started riding motorcycles at sixteen, escalating from a Cushman motor scooter to a Norton Electra. An arrest ended his ride at twenty. Eighteen years later, he realized that something was missing from his life.

That something was a Harley-Davidson. Middle-aged, but determined, he bought the smallest bike in the Harley fleet, an 883 Sportster-opening the floodgates to new adventures.

In "Hog Fever," La Plante motors from the King's Road, London, to the badlands of New Mexico, riding with everyone from posers to outlaws. Along the way, he rises to the heights of highway nirvana then plummets to the depths of a crashed bike, a long dark highway, and two hundred miles to ride with a broken foot.

In "Hog Fever" you will experience not only the creation of the custom bike but the creation of the biker himself, from La Plante's first tottering ride to his 'Death Race' across the American Dream.

Review

David Weber is best known for his Honor Harrington series of science fiction books, but with Oath of Swords he began a lighthearted fantasy saga centered around Bahzell Bahnakson. Bahzell is the reluctant champion of the War God Tomanak (a.k.a. the Sword of Light, the God of Justice, and Captain-General of the Gods of Light) and a member of the Horse Stealer clan hradani. Being a hradani puts Bahzell on a rung of the social ladder somewhere south of deplorable and just west of offensive, making him an unlikely champion for any god, much less Tomanak.

Although this relationship can be trying at the best of times, it's stretched perilously thin in The War God's Own, where Bahzell is called upon by Tomanak to fight the minions of Sharna, the Dark God. This is a fun, swashbuckling story that moves along nicely, managing to be both entertaining and unassuming at the same time. --Craig Engler
