	Bran Mak Morn review
		Along with Conan, Kull and Solomon Kane, Bran Mak Morn is Robert E. Howard's most recognized character.
		In "The Lost Race" the story is told from the point-of-view of a Briton, Cororuc, who is captured by the Picts, listens to a history of the race told by an old man, and is nearly executed until rescued at the last minute by the intervention of a Pict he had inadvertently saved earlier.
		Bran Mak Morn and the wizard settle the question with a sort of psychic one-on-one in which the King wins.

	Worms of the Earth review

	Robert E. Howard's Bran Mak Morn and the Picts
		As to the origin of the name Howard picked for his Pictish king, Weber comments that ravens (Bran is Gaelic for raven), according to Norse myth, are birds of battle, foretellers of bloodshed, and carrion-eaters.
		From Howard's letter, that always seems to serve as a "Foreword" to any Bran Mak Morn collection, we learn that Howard was aware of the historical Picts, or at least what was known about them at that time; but that he was also influenced by a fanciful school-boys' book found in New Orleans.
		The Picts are savage, bestial, un-united; and Bran Mak Morn desires to bring his nation out of savagery, to bring it back to the civilization (surprising to hear that, isn't it?) of their fathers.

		Bran is attempting to build an alliance with various tribes against an impending Roman assault.

		Though Bran Mak Morn is the prime player of this collection, as he stars in three of the short stories and is a feature star of the Miscellanea Part two section, this compilation is more accurately described as a deep look at the author's "Lost Race": the Picts.
		The compilation is fabulously enhanced by the illustrations of Gary Gianni that bring even more to life Howard's blending of fantasy and history in this case, the ancient world of the Picts.
		Especially those who enjoy Conan will cherish BRAN MAK MORN: THE LAST KING that will remind fans of THE BLOODY CROWN OF CONAN in format and style; containing short stories enhanced by Mr.

		Well, at least the log line sounds like Bran Mak Morn, as opposed to what they were going to try to do to Solomon Kane.
		Bran was - for lack of a better term - one of Howard's more 'classically literary' characters if you know what I mean(???).
		For my part I just brought the REH's Bran Mak Morn paperback, that way I will be able to read it before and made my own image about it before the film come out.

	Robert E. Howard's Bran Mak Morn and the Picts
		In the excitement over the found Bran Mak Morn synopsis that appeared in Cromlech #3, I think that Howard's fans have overlooked the fact that a synopsis also appeared in the letter of Howard's that has appeared, under the title of "Foreword", in every single Bran Mak Morn collection ever published.
		Then an aged shaman, named Gonar (!), lifts the Dark Man, which is again light to the touch and is no burden to its bearer, and carries it worshipfully to the waiting boats.
		Although, for years, this poem has been used as a preface to Howard's "Foreword" to the Bran Mak Morn yarns, I can think of no better way to end a discussion of the Pictish tales (try to read it as though you were reading it for the very first time):

	Review: Bran Mak Morn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		Bran Mak Morn is the last pure-blooded king of his degenerate race, the Picts, an ancient, neolithic people, once rulers of the entire European continent, now driven into the inhospitable North of Britain, and soon to vanish completely.
		Possessed by a desire to restore the past glory of his people, Bran is caught in a continuous and bloody struggle against the Roman occupation of the isle.
		Having had to watch the murder of one of his Picts at Roman hands and burning with hate, Bran in "Worms of the Earth", easily the best story of this volume, even evokes an ancient evil against the invaders, ignoring those that implore him not to unleash forces beyond human control.

		S.T. Joshi’s article “Bran Mak Morn and History” in Two-Gun Bob: A Centennial Study of Robert E. Howard comes trailing a backstory that originated with the author’s 1996 magnum opus H.
		We may never know, but it is gratifying to note that Bran himself in the new article is at long last “a Pict who waged an ultimately futile struggle” and not a Celtic or British chieftain.
		So Howard emerges from ‘Bran Mak Morn and History” with fewer gloves laid on him than during the average icehouse session.

		Looking past what may be the most imaginative news headline I've ever written, the latest rumblings out of Hollywood come in the probably more creative form of Robert E. Howard's quasi-historical fantasy, Bran Mak Morn.
		With Bran Mak Morn, Howard "mixes the historical with the fantastical as the title character, a mythical king of ancient Britain, forges an alliance with supernatural troops to contest the unstoppable forces of the Roman Empire." Though I haven't read these particular novels (yet), I can't help but be utterly intrigued by the concept.
		Bran Mak Morn will supposedly be Berg's follow up to his upcoming collaboration (again) with Michael Mann, The Kingdom.

		I did enjoy the Bran Mak Morn pastiches that were done by Wagner and Tierney.
		I don't care for sci-fi at all, so I won't be reading any of the ones you suggested, but the ones about the Pictish character sound interesting, and might be a nice preview for what he could do with Bran Mak Morn.

		Bran is king of the Picts of Caledonia duing the Roman empire (sometime after 100 A.D., judging from the fact that there is a Tower of Trajan in "Worms of the Earth").
		I have actually read a couple of Bran Mak Morn stories -- in the Nameless Cults book put out by Chaosium -- and felt like I was reading a Conan story with a different name.
		And to return to the initial subject of this thread, Andrew J Offut wrote a Cormac novel called Sword of the Gael, but this could be difficult to track down these days, and Tierney wrote a Bran Mak Morn novel entitled For the Witch of the Mists (also quite rare now).
