The Book of Dzur

di Steven Brust (Autore)

Tor Books, 2011

In Spring 2011, Tor put the next two "Vlad" books, "Dragon" and "Issola", into print as a trade paperback entitled "The Book of Dragon". Now we continue with the next two, collecting the "New York Times"-bestselling "Dzur" and "Jhegaala" into "The Book of Dzur". In "Dzur", Vlad is back in the great city of Adrilankha, with a price on his head. The rackets he used to run are now under the control of the mysterious "Left Hand of the Jhereg" - a cabal of women who report to no man. His ex-wife needs his help. His old enemies aren't sure whether they want to kill him, or talk to him and then kill him. A goddess appears to be playing tricks with his memory. And the Great Weapon he's carrying appears to have plans of its own...In "Jhegaala", Vlad decides to hide out among his relatives in faraway Fenario, in a papermaking town called Burz. At first it's not such a bad place, though the mill reeks to high heaven. But the longer he stays there, the stranger it becomes. Then a grisly murder takes place. And in its wake, far from Dragaera, without his usual organization working for him, Vlad has to do his sleuthing amidst an alien people...his own.
