Excellent! 3 short stories that really act as chapters in the same adventure. An excellent sword and sorcery protagonist escapes from a tower along with a fellow female captive who harbors some magical ability and an identity that proves quite compelling in the ending. A fantastic romp across the harsh desert filled with many foes both human and monstrous ensue as our protagonist seeks knowledge of his sister’s capture. Highly recommend!

In addition to Thummel’s crisp writing, I have been attracted to his retro-vibe cover designs (artist Didier Normand painted covers for In Savage Lands and The Harsh Suns).
