Clay Cooper and his band were once the best of the best: the meanest, dirtiest, most feared crew of mercenaries this side of the Heartwyld. However with their glory days past, the gang has moved on, and so has Clay, until an ex-bandmate turns up with a plea for help: his daughter Rose is trapped in a city besieged by an enemy one hundred thousand strong and hungry for blood. Rescuing Rose is the kind of mission that only the very brave or the very stupid would sign up for, but Clay reckons it's time to get the band back together . . .
"A comedy, an adventure tale, a consideration on growing older, and a sendup of fantasy conventions, all at the same time. It also has heart. In short: it rocks." -- Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog
