Two NEW tales of GONJI SABATAKE, the itinerant samurai-Viking warrior! A rallying cry for fans of the popular 1980s heroic-fantasy series. An ideal entry point for new readers– The novelette Reflections in Ice – picking up a mature Gonji, already well into his ca. 1600 A.D. European adventures, ensnared in a desperate crossfire between monstrous oppressors: the undead assassins of the Dark Company; and mysterious horrors residing in remote caves of the snowbound Pyrenees… The novella Dark Venture – the most intense, action-packed and classic-pulp-worthy Gonji tale in the canon. The first-ever story of young Gonji, in dishonored exile from his native land. Now facing deadly peril during a bizarre and ghastly sea voyage; caught in the clutches of a hell where corrupted spells of evil magic go to die… ALSO included is the essay The GONJI Odyssey –the definitive chronicle of the series’ creation and publishing history… PLUS, a generous preview of the coming NEW Gonji novel: the audacious origin tale of Gonji’s world – BORN OF FLAME AND STEEL – ! People will not know what hit them when they read ‘Dark Venture.’ It’s one of the most exciting (and gruesomely bonkers) sword-&-sorcery stories I’ve had the pleasure of reading. –Fletcher Vredenburgh, Black Gate Magazine One of the most original characters in heroic fantasy returns in all-new adventures that are truly epic. The return of Gonji Sabatake is a cause for epic celebration. –Joe Bonadonna, MAD SHADOWS
