Publisher's Summary

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

In The Knight and Knave of Swords, Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser's journeys have taken them from one side of Nehwon to the other, facing life-risking peril at every turn. Now, in a set of stories that feature the adventurers on their own and together, they will face some of their most challenging obstacles. Against assassins, angry gods, and even Death himself, the duo must battle for their very lives.

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.

A fitting ending

By this point in the story you’re a fan, or I guess a massicist? So if your here, wondering do I finish this, then yes, and you will enjoy it.

I won’t spoil the ending, but the stories are replete with some nostalgic call backs, swords, sorcery, and all you would expect in the genre.

It isn’t my favourite in the series, in that I. Does meander at times, and wax nostalgic, but that same content is what makes it feel like the right way to say goodbye to our heroes.

As always Jonathan Davis does a great job, characters voices come through and sets the right tone.
