Reviews:
“There is a rush discovering unknown or obscure fiction that gives a thrill. Sometimes you find a great story in an anthology or collection. You find that digest or pulp magazine that contains a story you never heard of that pushes all the right buttons… Reprint sword and sorcery anthologies have been non-existent since Robert Adams’ Barbarians paperbacks in the 1980s. DMR Books has brought out a new reprint collection of vintage sword and sorcery fiction.” (Morgan Holmes, Castalia House)
“Renegade Swords is a sword-and-sorcery anthology from DMR Books and as usual they’ve come up with an interesting mix of stories… This is a fairly strong collection embracing both conventional sword-and-sorcery stories and stories that either fit into related genres or don’t fit neatly into any genre. Either way it’s highly recommended.” (Vintage Pop Fictions)
