Reviews"Wonderful... Like most of Brust's books, this witty, wry tale stands alone and is very accessible to new readers." -- Publishers Weekly on Tiassa "Delightful, exciting, and sometimes brilliant." --Neil Gaiman "Steven Brust may well be America's best fantasy writer." --Tad Williams, "For more than 30 years, Steven Brust has been telling the story of Vlad Taltos, an assassin, reluctant revolutionary, witch, and epic wisecracker who cuts a swathe through a society of seemingly immortal elves whose tribal disdain for one another is only exceeded by their contempt for humans. Hawk , the 14th Vlad book, is moving, taut, funny, and a tantalizing glimpse of Vlad's end-game as Brust approaches completion of his generation-spanning, 19-volume series that mixes Hungarian mythology, revolutionary politics, and gastronomy in a goulash that must be tried to be believed."-Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing

SynopsisVlad Taltos returns as Stephen Brusts's New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series continues with Hawk ... Years ago, Vlad Taltos came to make his way as a human amidst the impossibly tall, fantastically long-lived natives of the Dragaeran Empire. He joined the Jhereg, the Dragaeran House (of which there are seventeen) that handles the Empire's vices: gambling, rackets, organized crime. He became a professional assassin. He was good at it. But that was then, before Vlad and the Jhereg became mortal enemies. For years, Vlad has run from one end of the Empire to the other, avoiding the Jhereg assassins who pursue him. Now, finally, he's back in the imperial capital where his family and friends are. He means to stay there this time. Whatever happens. And whatever it takes. "Watch Steven Brust. He's good. He moves fast. He surprises you. Watching him untangle the diverse threads of intrigue, honor, character and mayhem from amid the gears of a world as intricately constructed as a Swiss watch is a rare pleasure." --Roger Zelazny, Vlad Taltos returns as Stephen Brusts's New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series continues with Hawk ...
