A Better Man

An Egil & Nix Tale

By: Paul S. Kemp

Narrated by: Nick Podehl

"A Better Man" was published in the anthology Blackguards: Tales of Assassins, Mercenaries, and Rogues.

About this story, author Paul S. Kemp says, "Egil and Nix feature in my sword and sorcery novels, The Hammer and the Blade, A Discourse in Steel, and A Conversation in Blood. Their stories are pacy, filled with action and wit (I hope). I think of them as a cross of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, spiced with a bit of Conan and Indiana Jones. I hope you enjoy listening to their stories as much as I do writing them."

"A Better Man" takes place after the events of A Discourse in Steel, though it is entirely stand-alone.

An amazing short

Double and triple crossing wizards making trouble for ne'er do wells, I tell ya. Add an assassin of renown and the boys from Dur Follin have both hands full in this one.

Paul Kemp does it again

If you like Egil and Nix, here's more of them. It's a great short story set after the second book in the trilogy.

Any additional comments?

I enjoy all these stories. This one was too short. I hope there is more in the works.

Solid taste of the series

A lady walks into a bar … and off Egil and Nix go. Must be Tuesday.
