30.10 - Brooke TX's task: Spies, Scouts, Detectives, Pirates, and Sundry Ne'er-do-wells

I can't be the only person who immediately thinks of RPG (role playing games) character classes when they hear the word "rogue," can I? Even if I am, that's all that comes to mind. The rogue character class in D&D (Dungeons & Dragons) includes a variety of subtypes: thieves, assassins, spies, etc. - which, coincidentally, are some of my favorite character types in books! The Complete Thief's Handbook details the thief/rogue class, including the following subclasses: Acrobat, Adventurer, Assassin, Bandit, Beggar, Bounty Hunter, Buccaneer, Burglar, Cutpurse, Fence, Investigator, Scout, Smuggler, Spy, Swashbuckler, Swindler, Thug, Troubleshooter.

This is a two book task. Read two books found on any of the following lists. Your books may be from two different lists or the same list.

Thieves
Jesters, Fools, and Tricksters
Books With Heroes/Heroines Who Are Assassins
Espionage
Swashbucklers
Pirates!

Required: State the list(s) and page(s) on which your books were found.

Deborah | 1667 comments And this task will be following me on my vacation, though likely only one book will have been completed.

From Books With Heroes/Heroines Who Are Assassins

Assassin's Apprentice
Royal Assassin

I'm likely the only person who read your task and heard Sheldon Cooper: I'm a rogue knight elf. Don't you people read character descriptions?
