Welcome
to our tenth volume of sword and sorcery stories, which as usual is a
mixture of brand new names and the return of some longtime favourites.
And
speaking of longtime favourites, we open this time with another
exciting chapter in the bizarre adventures of Harry Elliott’s popular
Under-Valley stories of Mann Silver, Hel Strumm and the
perpetually-thirsty Gul Hakker.
Harry
Elliott is a British author with a passion for the fictional and the
fantastic. When faced with the question “What is best in life?” in
regard to his writing, to read his work it may seem that he has decided
thusly: To crush your characters, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the readers!
The truth, fortunately, is not so harsh. Across his written works you
may often fear for the characters throughout many perils, from the
war-torn worlds of his military science fiction novel, Warrior Errant, across the neon-splashed quest for vengeance in his short cyberpunk series, DataJack, to the mysterious and mythic setting of the Under-Valley, explored in the sword and sorcery stories, Skulls for Silver, Trials for Treasure, Blades for a Bounty and Masks for the Madness
where beasts of legend lurk, and warriors do battle by strength and
steel, so long as there's coin involved. However dire the events of
these tales may become, this author would have you read on, always and
forever, for through the thrill and the fear, he hopes that you will
find at the very least some small measure of escape from your own trials
and, just maybe, a happy ending too.”
