Charles Gramlich wrote: :''Teot's War'' creates a fully realized world that combines elements of Frank Herbert's Dune, Glen Cook's Dread Empire series, the Hyborian World of Robert E. Howard, and the real world of Earth's Bedouin tribes. It contains a delightful and realistic created language. But the best element is the superb writing. ==Reception==
