Neil Gaiman Presents: the second book in Fritz Leiber's classic sword-and-sorcery series.

In Swords Against Death, Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser journey from the ancient city of Lankhmar, searching for a little adventure and debauchery to ease their broken hearts. When a stranger challenges them to find and fight Death on the Bleak Shore, they battle demonic birds, living mountains, and evil monks on the way to their heroic fate.

The late Fritz Leiber's tales of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser launched the sword-and-sorcery genre, and were the inspiration for the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons.

BONUS AUDIO: Includes an exclusive introduction by Neil Gaiman.

What the critics say

"The two of them are the finest and most wonderful team in the history of sword and sorcery." (Neil Gaiman)
"Fritz Leiber's tales of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser are virtually a genre unto themselves. Urbane, idiosyncratic, comic, erotic and human, spiked with believable action and the eerie creations of a master fantasist!" (William Gibson)

I found the reading to be very well done and the stories amusing. The author Fritz Leiber is truly up there with Robert E. Howard.

Beautifully read, great and diverse accents and voicing of all the characters! I'd also add that the pleasure of Fritz Leiber, a true American Pulp master. This is sword and sorcery with the twist of irony and the clever language of Leiber. Bravo!

Fantastic!
