Editorial Reviews

A plague of Hollow Men--unkillable spirits clad in suits of armor--threatens the northern border of England. The task of defeating them and the evil they serve falls once more to Jim Eckert, a modern man transplanted to an alternate medieval universe. Although known primarily for his award-winning sf novels, Dickson captures the spirit of medieval fantasy in this third installment of what can now be considered a series. Fans of The Dragon and the George (Ballantine, 1976) and The Dragon Knight ( LJ 11/15/90) will savor this tongue-in-cheek fantasy adventure. Consider this a solid addition to most fantasy collections.
