Publisher's summary

All the world's a happy stage. Until the knives come out.... Lyorn is the next adventure in Steven Brust’s best-selling Vlad Taltos series.

Another opening...another cataclysm?

Vlad Taltos is on the run. Again. This time from one of the most powerful forces in his world, the Left Hand, who are intent on ending his very lucrative career. Permanently.

He finds a hidey-hole in a theatre where the players are putting on a show that was banned centuries ago...and is trying to be shut down by the House that once literally killed to keep it from being played.

Vlad will take on a number of roles to save his own skin. And the skins of those he loves.

And along the way, he might find a part that was tailor-made for him.

One that he might not want...but was always his destiny.

Big improvement over Tsalmoth

Much better with the narration this time around, Vlad especially. Kragar still sounds weird as a Yiddish Norseman but 's what it is.

Brusting with greatness!

Brust is the kind of fantasy author other authors swear by. the writer many hope to be. his following is not as large as many, but those of us who have trusted his storytelling have found layers and worlds and insight far beyond what we could have hoped for. this book is magnificent in its own right, but also elegantly cues up the final two novels of the epic Dragaera series.

it finds vlad hiding in a theater and, like Nero Wolfe or Mycroft Homes, having to resolve all of the mysteries and intrigues without ever leaving his refuge.

the best of many things l and well worth the read.

Much better than Tsalmoth in all ways...

Much better story and performance from Tsalmoth. I just hope Steven Brust carries on with Vlad's story instead of going back to the past again to beat more dead horses that long, long ago turned to dust and blew away in the wind.
