In a rapid one‑minute video, the reviewer enthusiastically rates Frank Frazetta and James C.’s Prisoner of the Horned Helm (the first Death Dealer novel) as “double brilliant.” He characterises the work as classic, old‑school fantasy featuring a strong hero and a damsel in distress, and commends its writing, description, and pacing, noting that nothing drags. He mentions owning all three books in the series, acknowledges their scarcity, and asserts they are worth the effort to find. The reviewer also situates the novel within the broader genre, comparing it to David Gemmell’s work and the overall Death Dealer series, concluding that the book is solid and exceptionally brilliant for fans of classic fantasy.
