In this roller coaster of a sequel to Not Exactly the Three
Musketeers, it looks like the stage is set for a major shake-up in the
kingdom. Jason's help in keeping everything from blowing up are the
self-appointed soldiers of the errant Jason, sent by that wily
off-worlder Walter Slovotsky to keep Jason in one piece...more or less.
There's Kethol, the long and lanky redhead with an easy smile, who's
quick with a quip and quicker with a sword; Pirojil, the ugly one, whose
looks deceive and whose might and loyalty are worth a kingdom; and the
fledgling wizard Erenor, a man who tries to stay two steps ahead of his
enemies--as well as one step ahead of his friends. They're all part of
the Cullinane retinue, sworn to protect the Cullinane manse and the
sometimes-heroic Jason Cullinane and they have their hands full. Because
no one likes a vacuum--or one too many contenders for power--Jason's
soldiers are going to have to do some fast adventuring to make it all
turn out all right.
Next in Joel Rosenberg's bestselling Guardians of the Flame series, Not
Quite Scaramouche continues the adventures of the journeyman soldiers
of Castle Cullinane (and their sometimes ill-fated leader) in all their
raucous glory.
