Synopsis

This is one of the best fantasies I've read, which is no surprise coming from the mind of David Drake. Wizards, good and evil, a bushel basket of true heroes, ghosts, dead soldiers walking and killing, magic artifacts, demons, a warrior bird and yes indeed, even a dragon - all encountered through various planes in time and space - it is all here in this book. I've not yet read Lord of the Isles I and II yet, and did not really feel the lack of that in enjoying this third in the series (tho seeing how good this one was, I will remedy that lack as soon as opportunity permits.) Standing alone, it is one heckuva good read with more twists and turns than one gets from dishonest politicians. Enjoy.
