About this ebook
Twenty-seven years ago, they said Hari Michaelson didn't have a chance. He was just a loser, a street criminal from a disgraced family. He'd never make anything of himself. They were wrong. He made himself into Caine: Killer. Superstar. Hero . . .
THE BLADE OF TYSHALLE
Six years ago, Ma'elkoth--a god of Overworld--held Pallas Ril in his merciless grip. Earth's ruling elite wanted her dead. Caine swore he would save her. They said he didn't have a chance. They were wrong. He sacrificed his career as Caine to crush Pallas Ril's enemies and bring her home.
Now Hari Michaelson is the only man who stands between the soulless corporate masters of Earth and the green hills of Overworld. Caine's victory over Ma'elKoth opened a door between the worlds, and the faceless masses of Earth are killing everything he loves. Enemies old and new array themselves against him. And Hari's not even Caine anymore. He's just one man--alone, half-crippled, powerless. They say he doesn't have a chance.
They are wrong . . .

A good sequel to Heroes Die. Heroes Die was action-packed, but this book is more cerebral, and even philosophical at times. It got me thinking about whether an author had ever tried writing a series of books that spanned different genres: volume 1 is fantasy, volume 2 is alternative history, volume 3 is science fiction, volume 4 is romance, etc.
A third book in the series is due for release soon (as of Oct 2008), with two more planned after that.
