Product Description
From Booklist
The creator of sf series heroine Honor Harrington turns successfully to fantasy. Bahzell is a prince of the Hradni, an outsize humanoid race prone to berserk rages. Due to a variety of circumstances, he becomes obliged to flee into regular humans' lands where Hradni are understandably unpopular. He and his companion survive a series of briskly paced adventures in a world Weber builds with a nice eye for detail, above-average knowledge of history, and a pleasing amount of wit. Moreover, the book's ending neither requires nor precludes a sequel. At the moment, Weber is not on a course to high honors or academic reputation but rather is emerging as a consistent producer of highly entertaining and intelligent action tales. Roland Green

This book and its sequel were great. David Weber really captured this type of fantasy. Who knew he could write great science fiction and great fantasy. If you liked Conan the Barbarian, you should like this. The books are fun the characters are great and the story is well told.

Bahzell Bahinakson was a Hradani Horse Stealer to be precise. His best intentions go astray and he finds himself running for his life with a friend who writes bad balads for Bahzell's listening enjoyment. Oh course there are also some demons, assasins and a dark God or two that also want him dead. Keep in mind this is nothing Bahzell can't handle he has the War God on his side.
Sure this is just an ordinary book, but its a very fun ordinary book, I would not expect anything less from David Weber. Thery are comming out with a sequal in March so if you read this book and like it be sure to check out "The War God's own" and "Windbreakers Oath".

I have been a fan of Mr. Webers Honor Harrington novels from the start. I doubted that he could do fantasy as well as his science fiction, but I tried this book anyway. It was great. It reminded me of the best Conan the Barbarian stories I read when I was younger. The only dissapointing thing about this book and the second book in the series is that there isn't a third and fourth book in the series. I have to admit Honor Harrington is a little repetitive these days. I really hope Mr. Weber comes back to this series. To leave it at only two books would be a real shame.
