The Hammer and the Blade by Paul S Kemp
Kill the demon. Steal the treasure. Retire to a life of luxury. Sounds easy when you put it like that. Unfortunately for Egil and Nix, when the demon they kill has friends in high places, retirement is not an option. File Under: Fantasy [ Derring Don’t | Hammer Time | Family Affair | Hell Spawn ]
This rollicking tale hooked me from the get-goTold with zest and humor, this is everything that is good and golden about classic old-school fantasy yarns. It joins my precious bedside shelf of favorite re-reads, 'comfort food' books I turn to again and again. Egil and Nix might not be the safest guys to go adventuring with, but they're sure good company. I'll be waiting for a sequel. Impatiently. - Ed Greenwood, bestselling creator of Forgotten Realms - Enough page-turning mayhem to sate the most avid sword & sorcery fans - Elaine Cunningham, author of The Thorn Trilogy - The Hammer and the Blade is a gritty, rollicking yarn that captures the essence of sword & sorcery adventure. A tale of lost treasures and lusty demons that Egil and Nix are sharing right now somewhere, bellied up to a tavern bar with Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, Conan, and, of course, Kemp's own Erevis Cale. - James Lowder, bestselling author Prince of Lies and Knight of the Black Rose
Paul S Kemp is a lawyer. That is bad. He is also the million-selling author of the Erevis Cale sword and sorcery stories and several Star Wars novels. That is good. Very good. He has appeared on the New York Times bestseller list three times (twice on the hardcover list, and once in the mass market list). It's a little known fact that Paul has maimed eight men and three llamas using only an unsharpened pencil and a stick of Wrigley's gum. Now you know too. He does not hum show tunes. Ever. Paul lives in Michigan with his wife and twin sons.
