Review: “Exile’s Quest” by Richard Meade
“They call it the Power Stone. Some men called it by other names, Philosopher’s Stone, Grail. A sorcerer has given it to the Queen of the Unknown Lands. King Sigreith wants it, so he sends an exiled swordsman, Baron Gallt, at the head of an army of cutthroats and prisoners into the legendary Unknown Lands.

This is typical of the dangers met by Dr. Malcom Muir, known to a very few as THE GREY MASK….. his exciting stor...
