The second novel of a major Feist acquisition, returning to his best-loved series. Written with Joel Rosenberg.
The second Riftwar collaboration, Murder in LaMut, written by masters of fantasy Raymond E. Feist and Joel Rosenburg.
The heavy action was supposedly at Crydee these days which meant that the one place they could be sure the three of them were not going was Crydee. Come spring, the privateer Melanie was due in Ylith, and its captain could be counted on for a swift conveyance away for sure, and likely not to murder them in their sleep.
That would be bad for business.
But away where?
That wasn't Durine's worry. Kethol would surely be able to find the three of them somebody who needed men who knew which part of the sword you used to cut with and which part you used to butter your bread, and Pirojil would be able to negotiate a price at least half again what the employer was ready to pay. All Durine would have to do was kill people.
That was fine with him.
Durine, Kethol and Pirojil are three mercenaries who have spent twenty years fighting other people's battles: against the Tsurani and the Bugs and the goblins, and now it seems they've run out of Tsurani, Bugs and goblins to kill. The prospect of a few months of garrison duty offers a welcome respite; but then they are given an assignment that seems, on the surface, like cushy work - to protect a lady and her husband and deliver them safely to the city of Lamut.
It should have all been so simple...
Raymond E. Feist is the author of the bestselling and critically acclaimed Riftwar Saga, the Serpentwar Saga and the epic Krondor series.
Joel Rosenberg is best-known for The Guardian of the Flame sequence. His other fantasy work includes D'Shai novels and the Keeper of the Hidden Ways series.
The incomparable Jonathan Lethem returns with nine brilliant stories that prove he is a master of the short form as well as the novel.
Jonathan Lethem stretches new literary muscles in this scintillating new collection of stories. Some of these tales-such as 'Pending Vegan,' which wonderfully captures a parental ache and anguish during a family visit to an aquatic theme park-are, in Lethem's words, 'obedient (at least outwardly) to realism.' Others, like 'The Dreaming Jaw, The Salivating Ear,', which deftly and hilariously captures the solipsism of blog culture, feature 'the uncanny and surreal elements that still sometimes erupt in my short stories.'
The tension between these two approaches, and the way they inform each other, increase the reader's surprise and delight as one realizes how cleverly Lethem is playing with form. Devoted fans of Lethem will recognize familiar themes and tropes-the anxiety of influence pushed to reduction ad absurdum in 'The King of Sentences'; a hapless outsider trying to summon up bravado in 'The Porn Critic;' characters from the comics stranded on a desert island; the necessity and the impossibility of action against authority in 'Procedure in Plain Air.' As always, Lethem's work, humor, and poignancy work in harmony; people strive desperately for connection through words and often misdirect deeds; and the sentences are glorious.

This is a Tale about a tail—a tail that belonged to a little red squirrel, and his name was Nutkin. He had a brother called Twinkleberry, and a great many cousins: they lived in a wood at the edge of a lake.
Once upon a time there was a little fat comfortable grey squirrel, called Timmy Tiptoes. He had a nest thatched with leaves in the top of a tall tree; and he had a little squirrel wife called Goody. Every day they made several journeys and picked quantities of nuts. They carried them away in bags, and stored them in several hollow stumps near the tree where they had built their nest.
Johnny Town-mouse was born in a cupboard. Timmy Willie was born in a garden. Timmy Willie was a little country mouse who went to town by mistake in a hamper. The gardener sent vegetables to town once a week by carrier; he packed them in a big hamper.
