@Black Knight: His reasoning? Probably these: 1) because he can, 2) money, and 3) everyone loves a good crossover. The best fighter in the world meets the most powerful cleric in the world? How can you fail?
My only question is: what was he thinking while writing Spine of the World? It falls far below the caliber of his other works....

@ronan: There is no connection between the game IWD and Salvatore's books, except that the settings are in the same location. IWD is set several decades before the first recorded sighting of Drizzt on the surface; Bruenor Battlehammer might be found in the dwarven settlement near Kelvin's Cairn, if you looked for him.
