The Book of Dzur -- Steven Brust

<p>The first seven of Steven Brust's Vlad Taltos novels have long been in print from Ace Books in a set of three trade paperback omnibuses. In Spring 2011, Tor put the next two Vlad books, <i>Dragon</i> and <i>Issola</i>, into print as a trade paperback entitled <i>The Book of Dragon</i>. Now we continue with the next two, collecting the <i>New York Times</i>-bestselling <i>Dzur</i> and <i>Jhegaala</i> into <i>The Book of Dzur</i>. <p/>In <i>Dzur</i>, Vlad is back in the great city of Adrilankha, with a price on his head. The rackets he used to run are now under the control of the mysterious Left Hand of the Jhereg--a cabal of women who report to no man. His ex-wife needs his help. His old enemies aren't sure whether they want to kill him, or talk to him and then kill him. A goddess appears to be playing tricks with his memory. And the Great Weapon he's carrying appears to have plans of its own.... <p/>In <i>Jhegaala</i>, Vlad decides to hide out among his relatives in faraway Fenario, in a papermaking town called Burz. At first it's not such a bad place, though the mill reeks to high heaven. But the longer he stays there, the stranger it becomes. Then a grisly murder takes place. And in its wake, far from Dragaera, without his usual organization working for him, Vlad has to do his sleuthing amidst an alien people...his own.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Steven Brust<br><b>Publisher:</b> Tor Books<br><b>Published:</b> 10/11/2011<br><b>Pages:</b> 400<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paper
