Robert A. Salvatore’s new book, “Gauntlgrym,” appeared this week on Publishers Weekly’s hardcover fiction best-seller list, and this got me to thinking about how many books Salvatore has written over the years.I knew that Salvatore, who is enormously popular among fantasy and science fiction fans, was a prolific writer, but I was very surprised by the number of novels he's published over the years. By my count, he’s published 53 novels since 1988.
I’ve had the chance to read six of Salvatore’s early novels – The Icewind Dale Trilogy and The Dark Elf Trilogy – and they are excellent. Without further ado, here’s a complete list of all of Salvatore’s books:

In the end, let me know if you’ve had a chance to read any of these books. What did you think about them? Which would you recommend? Let us know in the comments section below.
I have read, and in most cases own all just about everyone of these books up to The Highwayman. Except for the Starwars books (vector prime) and I have never read the Cleric Books.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the War of the Spider Queen series that is written under his name..It is interesting reading a long story line with each book written by a different author in their style.
He's produced an impressive volume of books. Undoubtedly, it would take me longer to read all of his books than the time it took him to write them all. LOL...
