Gentlemen of the Road
In the Kingdom of Aran, in the Caucasus Mountains, in 950 A.D., two adventurers wander the region, plying their trade as swords for hire, until they become embroiled in a bloody coup in the medieval Jewish empire of the Khazars as bodyguards for a fugitive prince with a mysterious secret.

meh. Michael, you're losing it. You had it with simple stories about complex people in complex situations. Then all of a sudden, you're doing your best Neal Stephenson impression. I just saw "Tyson," today, so I will steal his quote: "The Past is history, the future is a mystery." Write more towards a future. Anyone's future. Just please write toward driving the narrative, and stop over explaining the damn thing.
