books by Katherine Kurtz     books:       Childe Morgan29 reviews Katherine Kurtz Ace Hardcover, 2006 Childe Morgan A little too much rewriting to make it fit into the older books, and of course, what can one say about Alaric Morgan as a child? So, most of it is just filling in the gaps as we get close to the beginning of the Deryni saga. It is interesting, but might be difficult for one who has not read any of the other books, and there are a LOT of them. I would be more interested in furthering the King ...             Deryni Rising (Deryni)26 reviews Katherine Kurtz Ace, 2008 An Alternate Reality, Perhaps Not So Far Removed From Ours ... Begin with a world in which there are humans who can do magic! Wonderous things ... healing wounds, teleportation, bringing harmony to discord, reading the truth of a man's words from his own mind and voice. Evil and foul things ... murder from afar without the slightest trace, domination of entire peoples, tortures without the need to get the blood on one's own hands. This is a world that ...             The Spirituality of Imperfection: Storytelling and the Search for Meaning51 reviews Ernest Kurtz, Katherine Ketcham Bantam, 1993 Changed my sobriety I immediately began rereading this book upon completion. It has given me a new outlook on my sobriety and spirituality as well as the wisdom of the ages. I look forward to reading it again and again as I trudge the happy road of destiny.             The Adept 2: The Lodge of the Lynx (Adept)10 reviews Katherine Kurtz, Deborah Turner Harris Ace, 1992 Great occult mystery I love occult fiction and a friend recommended the Adept series to me because he knew I liked Dion Fortune's fiction. Unlike Fortune's fiction, this novel won't gift you with verses for your rituals, but it certainly captures the feeling of the astral realms and the battle of good versus evil. Okay, so the hero is wealthy and lives a life of luxury we can only imagine, but, hey, this is a ...             King Kelson's Bride (Deryni)75 reviews Katherine Kurtz Ace, 2001 Nice book It was great for me to get back into the world of Gwynedd, and I appreciate that Kelson finally finds a bride.             Adept: Death of an Adept8 reviews Katherine Kurtz, Deborah Turner Harris Ace, 1997 A Great Followup I started reading the Adept because K. Kurtz wrote it and I liked her Deryni series. I had no idea how good it was. Since that first book, I have continued to read and be impressed. Death of an Adept keeps the standard of the Adept series has high as ever. It is a fitting end to the series of events that started in book 1. I loved it. I usually get bored with book series after awhile, but ...             Lammas Night18 reviews Katherine Kurtz Ballantine Books, 1983 Simply the Best Fiction I've Ever Read And I suspect that not all of it is fiction. Never cared for any of "The Adept" books and was startled to find myself so very moved by this. The setting, the terminology, the pace of the story are all exceptional.             At Sword's Point (Knights of Blood)11 reviews Katherine Kurtz, Scott MacMillan Roc, 1994 When is volume 3 coming out? As with volume 1, I read this book straight through as soon as it arrived! I thought I'd read everything Katherine Kurtz wrote, but I was obviously mistaken! I love reading anything about the Knights Templar, fiction or not. I also love vampire lore and stories. I thought both books were good reads. They held my attention as I anxiously awaited the next scene. I hope there is a volume 3 to ...             In the King's Service (Deryni: Childe Morgan Trilogy, Vol. I)32 reviews Katherine Kurtz Ace, 2004 Practical Magic Since the series debuted there has been magic in two worlds, Katheryn Kurtz' Deryni eleventh century and here on earth, and even though I have grown older Morgan remains young and vital. Very vital, he's just getting around to being born in this newest gift from Ms Kurtz. Some stories fade as they go along, others take a terrible turn for the worst...(Anita Blake) and some just drift off, but not ...             High Deryni (Chronicles of the Deryni)7 reviews Katherine Kurtz Ace Hardcover, 2007 A rather interesting Ending to the Trilogy With this novel, the initial trilogy of the Deryni comes to a close, and in ways that are ultimately unexpected. The previous volume left quite a mess for King Kelson to clean up, with a civil war to the south, an invading army to the north, a treasonous Earl, an adamantly opposed Archbishop, all lining up for various reasons against Kelson. His internal opponents are so blinded by their own ...             Deryni Checkmate18 reviews Katherine Kurtz Ace, 2008 May the "Deryni" never end!!!!!!!! Someone once told me "Women can't write good fantasy because they're afraid to kill your favorite characters" ... I then introduced him to Katherine Kurtz and the Deryni. I never heard that statement again. I have been reading this epic saga over and over again for 20 years, and I will be reading them over and over again for the next 20 years. Katherine Kurtz's blending of "Magic" with ...             King Javan's Year (Heirs of Saint Camber, Vol 2)12 reviews Katherine Kurtz Del Rey, 1993 my favorite of all the deryni novels I believe this was the first of the Deryni novels that i read, so perhaps my fondness for the book stems from that. I knew nothing about the Deryni, the history of the Eleven Kingdoms, or the Regency; but this world drew me in and kept me there. If you have read any of the Deryni novels and have looked at the Haldane lineage, you know how long Javan lived and served as king. From the title ...             Bastard Prince (Heirs of Saint Camber)7 reviews Katherine Kurtz Del Rey, 1995 The Best of the Best of the Best I have been a devoted fan of this series since my aunt sent me the Bishops heir as a Christams Present when I 13. I opened that book and saw that this was just the latest in a well established series. Well being just a bit Obsessive complusive about reading things inorder I went and bought the entire series leading up to it, well after a few months anyway it takes a while to get up that kinda ...             Codex Derynianus4 reviews Katherine Kurtz, Robert Reginald Underwood Books, 2005 Codex Derynianus A nice addition to the Deryni series for the enthusiast. Has a note on each of the characters in the series (no matter how briefly they appear) and all of the places that are either visited or mentioned.             The Adept 4: Dagger Magic (Adept)9 reviews Katherine Kurtz, Deborah Turner Harris Ace, 1996 This book is an extremely imaginative blend. I loved "Dagger Magic" and the other Adept novels. I would not recomend it for serious reading, but it is fun and imaginative, and had interesting devolopments of the Adept World View. Some readers may be put off by it's glimpse in the life of Adam Sinclair Style, and the fact that the supposed main focus of the book is stuck in the last quarter of it. I still found my emotions aroused, ...             The Harrowing of Gwynedd4 reviews Katherine Kurtz Del Rey, 1989 Another book of courage and tragedy........ The Harrowing of Gwynedd sees the Deryni people on the verge of extinction, as a small group of them attempt to make stand. The story centers on Evaine, daughter of Camber, as she leads the struggle. She is a mother, a soceress, and a warrior, whose skills are tested to the limit. Her success or failure will determine the fate of her people. Read this book and see what happens. Her character is ...             The Adept 1 (Adept)22 reviews Katherine Kurtz, Deborah Turner Harris Ace, 1991 Knights Templar,Freemasons and Evil Sorcerers. Skullduggery and High Adventure As a practising 32' Mason and an avid adventure reader as well as an author myself,I enjoyed the entire Adept series immensly.Kurtz has the style and the flow of her adventures is intense.The characters are as though pulled from real life,her accuracy on the subject matter is right on.Absolute fun reading,I highly recommend this series. Especially for Brothers of the Order,but also for those who ...             Bishop's Heir (Histories of King Kelson, Vol 1)10 reviews Katherine Kurtz Del Rey, 1987 Tolkiens Heir? I can easily describe Katherine Kurtz The Bishop's Heir in one sentence: Brilliant. This novel, which is book one of the three part Chronicles of King Kelson, is absolutely brilliant. Kurtz weaves a rich tapestry of intrigue and war all set in an alternate reality. The plot of the story is strong, which is typical of a Kurtz novel. She obviously is well read on medieval History (M.A. in ...             Saint Camber (Volume II in the Legends of Camber of Culdi)6 reviews Katherine Kurtz Del Rey, 1987 One of the best This review is actually directed at all Deryni novels. I havent read them for a few years and have moved several times and only have 5 or 6 of the total deryni series but am going to buy all of them again. They are among the best books I have ever read and I have a large collection of about 150 books. If you are a fan of SciFi/Fantasy you will love this book. Without giving away too much this ...             King's Justice (Histories of King Kelson, Vol 2)9 reviews Katherine Kurtz Del Rey, 1987 Great reading I really enjoy these fantasy stories.
