Paths of the Dead

"Steven Brust Might Just Be America's Best Fantasy Writer!" Tad Williams Praise for Steven Brust "Splendid!" Kirkus Reviews on Dragon "As always, Brust invests Vlad with the panache of a Dumas musketeer and the collo-quial voice of one of Zelazny's Amber heroes. This is a rousing adventure with enough humor, action, and sneaky plot twists to please newcomers as well as longtime series fans."Publishers Weekly on Issola "Brust is an indubitable master of swashbuckling high fantasy, and this book is an un-doubted treat." Booklist on Five Hundred Years After "Filled with high adventure, intrigues, a great deal of good humor and moments of genuine hilarity, this is easily Brust's most mature and entertaining work to date. It's rare for a book over hundred pages to seem as short as this one. It's even rarer to find one that seems likely to satisfy such a broad range of reader expectations, humor, adventure, in-trigue, and wit all in the same package."Science Fiction Chronicle on Five Hundred Years After "Powerful and impressive." Locus on Five Hundred Years After "Brust isn't afraid to break the boundaries of contemporary commercial fantasy."
