Book Review of Battle Circle

Battle Circle
Battle Circle
Author: Piers Anthony
Genre: Science Fiction & Fantasy
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on + 51 more book reviews


Battle Circle incorporates the stories of SOS the rope, Var the stick, and Neq the sword: this is Piers Anthony work orginally published in the early 1970s.
The stories of SOS, Var, and Neq are based in a barbaric world (possibly america), where honour rules supreme, and disagreements are sorted by challenge and battle in the "circle". Each story is vastly entertaining and follows the trials and tribulations of each man fulfilling his destiny and dream/s.

An avid Piers Anthony fan, I believe that this novel is one of his best works and so was surprised that only used books are available for this novel!

Piers Anthony's Battle Circle is original, thought provoking, and evokes emotional interest/empathy with each character (which is something worth mentioning: a truly good author is hard to come by these days!).
