Swords Against Death

From one of the Grand Masters of Science Fiction and Fantasy, comes a long overdue reissue of one of his classic fantasy novels.

 
While The Lord of the Rings took the world by storm, Fritz Leiber's fantastic but thoroughly flawed antiheroes, Fafhrd and Gray Mouser, adventured and stumbled deep within the caves of Inner Earth as well.

They wondered and wandered to the edges of the Outer Sea, across the Land of Nehwon, and throughout every nook and cranny of the gothic Lankhmar, Nehwon's grandest and most mystically corrupt city.

Lankhmar, is Leiber's fully realized, vivid incarnation of urban decay and civilization's corroding effect on the human psyche.

Fafhrd and Mouse are not innocents; their world is no land of honor and righteousness.

It is a world of human complexities and violent action, of discovery and mystery, of swords and sorcery.

Swords Against Death, is the second volume in the Lankhmar fantasy series.
