The Parched Sea by Troy Denning, Fred Fields
2.0
Yes, as most reviewers have stated, this is a D&D rewrite of Lawrence of Arabia, but accusing a book of lifting its plot from a prior work is a pointless thing considering most fiction works in existence have done precisely this, and it's the done thing.
But on its own merits, The Parched Sea is a lightweight and enjoyable read, which is exactly how your Dungeons and Dragons fiction should be. There are no profundities here, no depths of character or complex plotting. It's a simply told tale that does its job. Shame about that rushed and abrupt ending though.
