Kane was definitely an influence on early D&D.

While he wasn't as young as REH was when he took his own life, it's still hard not to wonder what might have been had he lived longer.James Maliszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341941102398271464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-79227683601586023532008-10-14T10:18:00.000-04:002008-10-14T10:18:00.000-04:00Todd, get ready to have your &%*@ing socks blo...Todd, get ready to have your &%*@ing socks blown off. Kane is just plain awesome. Nightshade books put out a two volume re-publishing of all the Kane material, and thankfully I have both volumes - one that contains all three novels, the other contains all the short stories. I've also got all three novels in paperback, and they are great reads. Like Howard before him, Wagner was a tragic but brilliant figure in the S&S field, and died way before his time.Jack Badelairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10932441028544500024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-43267705718617476422008-10-14T09:19:00.000-04:002008-10-14T09:19:00.000-04:00Hey!

Howard fan but had never heard of Kane until I read this last night. <BR/><BR/>I zipped over to eBay and found a bid on five Wagner books on an auction that ended in 55 minutes:<BR/><BR/><B>LEGION FROM THE SHADOWS<BR/>DARK CRUSADE<BR/>BLOODSTONE<BR/>NIGHT WINDS<BR/>DARKNESS WEAVES</B><BR/><BR/>I won!!! $22.49 for all five and free shipping. Now I will anxiously await the books that I'd never have discovered except for your comments...
