The Swords of Lankhmar by Fritz Leiber

Neil Gaiman Presents: the fifth book in Fritz Leiber's classic sword-and-sorcery series.

In The Swords of Lankhmar, a plague of rats overruns the capital city and glittering gem of the land of Nehwon. Commissioned to guard a ship of grain from the cursed rodents, brother-in-arms Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser soon discover the plague has progressed to a fatal point. Mustering the strength of sorcery, they descend into the depths of Lankhmar and rise to battle in order to save the soul of the ill-fated city.

The late Fritz Leiber's tales of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser launched the sword-and-sorcery genre, and were the inspiration for the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons.

BONUS AUDIO: In a wonderfully written essay, Neil Gaiman says, The Swords of Lankhmar glitters and shimmers and dances, and Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser are the finest rogues you will ever meet.
