''The Monarchies of God'' is an epic fantasy series written by Irish author Paul Kearney. This series was published between 1995 and 2002 in five volumes. The series is noteworthy for its ruthlessness in dispatching major characters, its large number of epic battles and its use of gunpowder and cannons. Kearney also has an extensive knowledge of sailing and uses this to inform his description of naval travel and combat. The series garnered critical praise and numbers fantasy author Steven Erikson among its fans as he mentions in an interview with Neil Walsh, May 2000.〔(A Conversation With Steven Erikson. An interview with Neil Walsh, May 2000 )〕 The series has also been criticised for its pessimism. One noteworthy feature of the series is its brevity. Each of the five volumes is very slim by modern fantasy standards. ==Novels in the series== # ''Hawkwood's Voyage'' (1995) # ''The Heretic Kings'' (1996) # ''The Iron Wars'' (1999) # ''The Second Empire'' (2000) # ''Ships from the West'' (2002) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Monarchies of God」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
