The Swords of Zinjaban

Continuing the story that started in "the Hostage of Zir", "The Prisoner Of Zhamanak" and "The Bones of Zora", Fergus Reith is reacquainted with Alicia Dyckman, his ex-wife who he divorced due to her hot-headed personality. As a tour guide, he leads a movie production company through a series of self-inflicted adventures including the defeat of an invading nomad hord. de Campe has what is for me a classic style, pitting common people in oddball situations against their own resources. His characters tend to be steryotyped, but have some force of personality despite that. His aliens are human, and yet have thier own unique culture. Anyone tired of those stories about The Brave Hero Who Saves The Day By Killing Off All The Bad Guys will find the Krishna series refreshing. Fergus does'nt save the universe, but he does have "fun".
