The Death of Nnanji by Dave Duncan

3.0

The fourth book in a completed trilogy that I read for the Endeavour. I really didn't want to like this book. Prior to this year I had read a few books by Dave Duncan, none of which I liked - but this year I've read three for the Endeavour and they are all good. This one is a world somewhat reminiscent of River World with a character that apparently parachuted in sort of like John Carter with rules of life vaguely like the Rules of Acquisition and a bringing of technology somewhat like a Lest Darkness Fall or perhaps a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. With kind of a silly plot with loads of Deus Ex Machina. But it came across as a pretty good story that was just plain fun to read. As a fan of this series, I'd have to think this book is probably a gift-wrapped present. Is this exactly what I like to read? No. But it was certainly good enough. 3.5 of 5.
