I'm just about half way through the book and so far the reader is shown pretty much a few sides to Slaine that is pretty well hidden in the original comic.
Having just read abit where Cathbad is sharing knowledge of the Drunes and Skullswords with his people.
Which has me further confused as they are now all referred to as Drunes or Drunes lords.
I had always thought that Drune or Drune Lords were another name for the Slough Priests.
Not that I am complety sure, but the novel is almost making the word Drune out to be the name of the people who came from southern Europe.

Though there is fair chance of me finding this information in any of the other source books for the Slaine RPG.
I was wondering if the Broch which I have found out to be situated near the town of Crumlyn ( From the pages of the 'Slaine the Exile' novel.) is right on the coastline.
As I know that it's in the same geographical area of southern coast of England right now.
Though I'm not altogther sure if the Broch or Crumlyn were next to the coast during the time of Slaine as the British Isles as well as the neighbouring parts of Northern Europe were all one land mass.
Of course if nobody here can enlighten me, then I 'll probably find the answer in one of the books.
I still haven't quite got through 'Slaine the Exile' yet.

Just finishsed and can't really say it tunred as good as I though it would.
Not all holes were filled in or looose ends tied.
As you may find when and if you read this novel yourself.
I wouldn't pay more than ten dollars for this one. Wait until it turns up in the second hand book stores.

You might want to wait until the third book is written and they decide to make it a three in one book combined.

just hope the second is far stronger or we might not make it to number 3 :shock: :?

You should try reading the comic, if you can get your hands on a few old 2000Ad's ort a grpahic novel. As I think source is always better. As I said earlier, the book does run closely to the same story as it's told in the comic. Though there are areas where the new author excercises his creative licence and changes things for good and for worse. To describe the book 'Slaine: the Exile'.
When it's good it's good, but when it's bad it's even better.
