The Lord of Castle Black - Softcover

"Delightful, exciting, and sometimes brilliant, Steven Brust is the latest in a line of great Hungarian writers, which (I have no doubt) includes Alexandre Dumas, C. S. Forester, Mark Twain, and the author of the juiciest bits of the Old Testament." -Neil Gaiman

The Lord of Castle Black
Book Two of The Viscount of Adrilankha

"Delightful, exciting, and sometimes brilliant, Steven Brust is the latest in a line of great Hungarian writers, which (I have no doubt) includes Alexandre Dumas, C. S. Forester, Mark Twain, and the author of the juiciest bits of the Old Testament." -Neil Gaiman

"Filled with high adventure, intrigues, a great deal of good humor, and moments of genuine hilarity, this is easily Brust's most mature and entertaining work to date. It's rare for a book over four hundred pages to seem as short as this one. It's even rarer to find one that seems likely to satisfy such a broad range of reader expectations, humor, adventure, intrigue, and wit all in the same package."-Science Fiction Chronicle on Five Hundred Years After

"As always, Brust invests Vlad with the panache of a Dumas musketeer and the colloquial voice of one of Zelazny's Amber heroes. This is a rousing adventure with enough humor, action, and sneaky plot twists to please newcomers as well as longtime series fans."-Publishers Weekly on Issola

"Steven Brust might just be America's best fantasy writer." -Tad Williams

"Steven Brust, in a genre that's mostly done by the numbers these days, maintains a hipster charm and an originality of mind." -The Philadelphia Inquirer
