Reviews

Praise for The Hammer and the Blade and Paul S. Kemp"A gripping tale [with] the feeling of a classic Dungeons & Dragons campaign."--Publishers Weekly"Most heroes work up to killing demons. Egil and Nix start there and pick up the pace."--Elaine Cunningham, author of the Thorn Trilogy"Kemp delivers sword and sorcery at its rollicking best, after the fashion of Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser."--Library Journal
