Harkan is a fine hero, much less of an anti-hero than Conan or Kane, but that’s certainly OK. He’s someone the reader can root for. The secondary characters are well developed and memorable. I really enjoyed this collection and will be interested in reading more by Hanlon.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Tim Hanlon<\/a> has been a History teacher since the dawn of time.
