SERPENT'S SILVER

"Anthony anf Margroff miz fantasy and science much as Mark Twain did in A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING AUTHUR'S COURT. Action, character development, and romance blend nicely in this captivating tale that will appeal to fantasy fans." - Kliatt

"This pleasant fantasy possesses the added irony and realism one expects from Anthony." - Publishers Weekly

"A solid plot moves briskly along, in Anthony's fluent, not to say facile, style - and spiced by some genuinely frightening moments. A persuasive performance that should swell the ranks of Anthony's already huge audience." - Kirkus

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
