Nimrod's Peril

Nimrod's Peril

(4 customer reviews)

Nymphae, the debauched Queen of the Island Kingdom of Eros, has kept her irresistible beauty over hundreds of years by drawing life from men. She thinks the essence of the young Wanderer Nimrod Woodbine's spiritual purity will give her the immortality she craves. He must go to her of his free will. She kidnaps Musette, Nimrod's beautiful human-size mouse traveling companion, knowing Nimrod will try to rescue her. Nymphae's goal is to consume the essence of his very being, leaving him as a living husk in a tortured spiritual eternity as her helpless slave, joining the hundreds of other used-up lovers she keeps in standing coffins in her dungeon. His quest is filled with many dangers, but Nymphae is the most perilous of all.

Nimrods Peril is quite a ride Feb 25, 2009
By R. F. Daley
Nimrods Peril is the third book of Mr. Sledge's that I have read. Like Hemingway and Picasso he sees the world from a distinctly masculine perspective which focusses and refines his appreciation of things feminine. He continues to entertain with his irreverent take on... just about everything. Sledge writes Satire in the spirit of Jonathan Swift, he takes no prisoners. Having said that, in Nimrods Peril he does not stint on pure fantasy. His story is compelling, his characters, human or not, are lusty and three dimensional and at times his prose is breathtaking. This only enhances the quality of his poetry, which is plentiful in this book. L.D. Sledge is a very creative author who also shares an insight on the human condition which has been gleaned from a long and observant life.

Great read! Apr 12, 2010
By Truth seeker "Alan"
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. In creating an alternate world, Mr. Sledge populated it with lots of interesting characters that are brought to life in the course of the adventure. The lead, Nimrod, demonstrates amazing courage and integrity in the face of a decidedly evil antagonist. I had a lot of fun reading this and had a hard time putting it down. Great book, I highly recommend it. Calling this fantasy doesn't really do it justice, do yourself a favor and get/read this book.

I loved it! It was different, creative, clever, witty, entertaining, fun--AND had some profound wisdom tucked between the covers!-- Marcia Powell

A thoroughly original & fascinating fantasy universe Nov 10, 2011
By Editrix Gal
This is one of the most well-written, clever, funny, serious, and interesting fantasies I've ever read. Created with great imagination, the creatures, sentient and not, and the flora and fauna, all with their clever names, are wonderful! And the story has a liberal sprinkling of values and lessons that everyone will recognize. The story has plenty of twists and turns, but the thing which keeps you going is your empathy and love for the characters, whom the author brings to life so well, and there are also hysterical and somewhat racy parts that add spice and laughs for adults. This is SUCH an enjoyable and page-turning story. Highly recommend it.
