Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

The author of such successful fantasy novels as The Phoenix Guards (Tor, 1991), Five Hundred Years After (Tor, 1994), and Freedom and Necessity (with Emma Bull, Tor, 1997), Steven Brust has established himself as a solid hardcover presence in swashbuckling, colorful fantasy.But before these hardcovers, Brust had already established himself as a bestselling author of mass-market originals from Ace Books, with the seven novels of the wildly popular Vlad Taltos series. Now Tor Books is pleased to bring Brust's most popular series to hardcover, with a new novel of Vlad Taltos ... even better, a novel covering a mysterious episode in Vlad's life story which the series' innumerable fans have long been eagerly awaiting. Vlad knows his trade: he kills people for a living. That skill got him his foothold in House Jhereg, running the rackets for a chunk of Adrilankha. You'd think that killing people would be excellent preparation for full-scale war, and Vlad thinks so, too. But on the spot, when he finds himself in the real trenches of a real war between rival Dragonlords, Vlad learns just how wrong he is. Here are all the favorite characters of the popular Vlad Taltos series: Vlad's wisecracking reptile familiar Loiosh, the inscrutable Dragonlord Morrolan, and of course the ever-fascinating Sethra Lavode. Here are politics, treachery, sorcery, and -- always important in a Vlad Taltos novel -- food. Here are crackling wit, action, and storytelling zest. The publication of Dragon will be a fantasy event.
