The Lord of Castle Black (Viscount of Adrilankha, Book 2)

The Lord of Castle Black Book Two of The Viscount of Adrilankha "Delightful, exciting, and sometimes brilliant, Steven Brust is the latest in a line of great Hungarian writers, which (I have no doubt) includes Alexandre Dumas, C. S. Forester, Mark Twain, and the author of the juiciest bits of the Old Testament." -Neil Gaiman "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 four 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, intrigue, and wit all in the same package."-Science Fiction Chronicle on Five Hundred Years After "As always, Brust invests Vlad with the panache of a Dumas musketeer and the colloquial 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 "Steven Brust might just be America's best fantasy writer." -Tad Williams "Steven Brust, in a genre that's mostly done by the numbers these days, maintains a hipster charm and an originality of mind." -The Philadelphia InquirerSteven Brust is the author of 'The Lord of Castle Black (Viscount of Adrilankha, Book 2)', published 2003 under ISBN 9780312855826 and ISBN 0312855826.
