About this listen

Includes three short stories and a novelette!

"Dragon Play": All their lives the group of young Vikings had heard of their clan's past glories, but all they have known is the terror of being relegated to living within the shadow of a dragon's mountain. When the chieftain's daughter finds an ancient scroll showing a hidden back entrance to the dragon's lair, she and her three friends decide to sneak in and retrieve the lost talisman that holds the luck of their clan.

"Lord Fish" tells the tale of a newly minted noble who meets his nemesis in Sir Brindor, the realm's most famous knight. Can the lowborn Lord Midas survive single combat against the deadliest warrior in history?

In "The Stolen Castle", Lord Midas pays a visit to the long-deserted keep granted him by his new liege lord. When his entrance is refused, Midas learns that a hedge knight has taken up residence. With only his squire to aid him, Midas must find a way to take back his rightful home.

"Arrival" tells the tale of how a group of scientists from Earth first came to colonize the planet of New Eden...along with one unexpected guest.

This book contains a trilogy of stories set on the world of The Shard. (The author's previous book). These are set prior to events in The Shard and helps clarify events alluded to in that book. They each are very well written and enjoyable to read. If you have read The Shard you will be able to relate to the characters and events more.
The last story is Science fiction and shows the author's range of skills and again presents well developed characters each with their own personality and strengths.
I would highly recommend this book and the author's other works, he creates great characters and well constructed stories. I look forward to reading his future works.

well written and great characters.
