Dragonlance: Crossroads #5
The Middle of Nowhere
The latest title in the world-spanning Crossroads series. Popular Dragonlance author Paul B. Thompson pens the latest novel that explores an area of the setting that has been mentioned but not previously described in detail to readers.
The peace of a rural village is shattered by the sudden appearance of a band of renegade warriors seeking slaves. The farmers of Nowhere have no hope unless they can raise a company of champions to defend them, but the motley group of saviors who take up their cause--a shipwrecked sailor, a minotaur poet, a kender treasure hunter, a shamed half-ogre, a disgraced foot soldier, and an eccentric sorcerer--seem nearly as dangerous as the slavemasters.

My actual rating is 3.5 stars.
A book that is part of the Dragonlance world. This story could have taken place in any setting. A farming village is besieged by a group of brigands and several of the farmers leave their village in search of warriors to aid them. The group that assists them is an eclectic group.
I liked this book. There was a plenty of action. Also, this group of different characters provided different points of views and I enjoyed them coming together. Because of these different characters I believe readers will get attached to varying characters. I also enjoyed one particular character's growth as he recovered his honor. This story isn't epic on scale. The whole world doesn't depend on these events but sometimes a little side adventure is nice and enjoyable.
This was a nice quick story that I believe all readers will enjoy.

One of my favorite stand alone books on my shelf. A quick read but one you will read over and over again.
