"In the Caucasus mountains around 950 AD, two wandering adventurers live by their wits as tricksters and swords for hire. Until, following a bloody coup in the Jewish kingdom of the Khazars, they get dragooned into a fugitive prince's campaign to reclaim his throne."--Page 4 of cover.

Gentlemen of the road

a tale of adventure

Sarah Sammis

Written in the style of H. Rider Haggard, it's the story of a pair of swindlers out and about on adventures. I couldn't really get into the story for its flowery narration but I loved the illustrations. It would make a great move.

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.
