### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Vintage Vance
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2013*

This is a fairly short book, but I like short books. No padding, perfect for a quick read when you don't have a lot of time. As far as Jack Vance goes, Gold and Iron (previous title: Slaves of the Klau) isn't one of his better books. But it's perfect for a die-hard Vance fan like me, who thought he'd read every sci-fi book by Vance, only to stumble across all these wonderful releases on Amazon. Just do your research before you buy a Vance book on Kindle that you think you haven't heard of before, because it might be one you've already read, but with a new title.Gold and Iron lacks the highly stylized writing that usually makes Vance books so great, so the writing is a bit bland and unremarkable. But at least the usual outlandish characters, with their quirky and outrageous behaviors, are here.http://www.amazon.com/Scott-Reeves/e/B002HHJUQ4

    Vance does it again! Best protagonist ever! Ignore the bad  cover art. This is  a great story.
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2012*

Vance is a master as anyone who has read his novels knows. All his protagonists are men of honor, men with whom the reader can empathize, men whom we can hope to emulate. This protagonist, Roy Barch, has to be one of his best. Vain, yes, but able to recognize it in himself and repulsed by it. Barch is also strong willed and thoughtful, but no superman---he learns as he goes. If you enjoy Vance, if you enjoy damned good SF, then don't miss this.

Lots of familiar Jack Vance themes and some good reading but a rather abrupt ending - possibly due to original length restrictions.
