Annotation

The Book of Jhereg and The Book of Taltos collected the first five novels of Steven Brust s highly imaginative fantasy series that Locus praised as entertaining and worth reading. The Book of Athyra features books six and seven in the series Athyra and Orca. Vlad Taltos is a sorcerer and assassin without peer as deadly at spell casting as he is with sword wielding. Accompanying him on his journeys are two leathery-winged jhereg who share a telepathic link with Vlad and triple his chances against even the most powerful of enemies In Athyra, Vlad finds he s ready to retire himself and his jhereg companions, but the biggest hitters of the House of the Jhereg have something else in mind. In Orca, Vlad must repay a debt to a boy who saved his life even if it means breaking a financial scandal big enough to bring down the House of the Orca, and possibly the entire Empire
