It's one of the most exciting (and gruesomely bonkers) sword-&-sorcery stories I've had the pleasure of reading.- --Fletcher Vredenburgh, Black Gate Magazine -One of the most original characters in heroic fantasy returns in all-new adventures that are truly epic. The return of Gonji Sabatake is a cause for epic celebration.- --Joe Bonadonna, MAD SHADOWS
