Críticas:
The great city of Perimadeia has fallen to its barbarian enemies, and its last commander, Bardas Loredan, is one of the few survivors, saved by the brother who betrayed the city. The Loredan family are a strange bunch, doomed by the consequences of past actions to endless attempts at reconciliation, or actions so appalling that no reconciliation will be possible. And they are also crucial to the financial manoeuvrings of this well-imagined world, where hostile take-overs are conducted at swords point ... K J Parker's The Belly of the Bow, second of the Fencer trilogy, is intelligent about perverse behaviour, about the logistics of conquest and resistance and about the way that power follows both finance and military might. He is also intelligent about the details of weapon making--in his first book Colours in the Steel, it was siege engines and here it is longbows--and about the working and consequences of magic--a pair of wizards who meddled in things they did not understand find themselves tinkering endlessly to make events less devastating, and running out of that luck which makes meddling possible. With two books, Parker has become a name to be reckoned with; his gloomy fantasies of fate and misadventure are not like anything else in the field. (Roz Kaveney, AMAZON.CO.UK REVIEW)
Reseña del editor:
The city of Perimadeia has fallen. Bardas Loredan, the man who was supposed to save it, is now living on the Island - a recluce, living apart from his family in the mountains, with only a young apprentice for company. His life as a fencer-at-law is over. Instead, Loredon spends his days perfecting the art of bow-making.
But his isolation will not last forever; and when the Island comes under attack, his skills as a soldier and general are once again called upon.
COLOURS IN THE STEEL, Volume One of the Fencer Trilogy, introduced a remarkable new voice in fantasy fiction. THE BELLY OF THE BOW confirms that rich promise and establishes K. J. Parker in the top rank of writers.

Buchbeschreibung Paperback: 8½" x 5¼". Zustand: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Cover Art: Mick van Houten (illustrator). 1st Edition. © 1999: 2nd in the 'Fencer' series of books. 1st edition, 1st printing: Synopsis: In one night of blood and betrayal, the famed Triple City of Perimadeia has fallen to the barbarian hordes. The man who led the defending forces, Bardas Loredan, has fled to the island of Scona. Here, eschewing the violence that has characterised his life, he quietly establishes himself as a craftsman, fashioning bows. But Scona is also home to his brother and sister, who run a successful business on the island. Unfortunately, the Loredan siblings do not share happy childhood memories. They also take cut-throat competition literally. Both of which make a reconciliation with their brother far from easy. Before long, Bardas is thrown once more into a world of ruthless scheming and bloody rivalries. But it seems to be a world in which Bardas excels, and what he has learnt about the nature of bows is about to change his life - and the life of his family - for ever. The extraordinary story of 'The Belly Of The Bow' continues one of the most exciting new fantasy series of recent years:- Review(s): "An action-packed adventure, a thoughtful exploration of the vicious circle that is revenge. Parker plants the narrative hook deep" - Starburst on 'Colours In The Steel' / "One of the most entertaining fantasy debuts in recent years" - SFX on 'Colours In The Steel':- (original cost £10.99).

For Loredan is one of the surviving members of Maxen's Pitchfork, the legendary band of soldiers who waged war on the people of the plains for many years, rendering an attack on the city impossible.
