Chandri was a quiet knife in the shadows followed by an equally quiet disappearance into same.... [click here for more] |

The large man stood stoically behind Dur Corso as he and the Colonel haggled the price of our next job; a heavily-muscled figure, standing ramrod-straight, arms crossed. Natural furs and leathers struggled to cover a frame that looked like it was adapted to hard labor and fighting.

Each fit of coughing doubled me over, and I found myself sinking... [click here for more] |
