Rogues of Merth: The Adventures of Dareon and Blue, Book 1

Thrilling Sword and Sorcery Adventure in the Golden Age Tradition!

"Zoltan’s Rogues of Merth reminds me of everything in my youth that caused me to fall in love with fantasy in the first place. Lovers of the genre, especially of the classic sword-and-sorcery sub-genre, are sure to enjoy this lively collection." — TANGENT ONLINE MAGAZINE (Tara GrimRavn, Reviewer)

"...fans of classic pulp sword & sorcery adventures who are looking for new stories in the genre would be hard-pressed to find better reading." — CIRSOVA MAGAZINE

“Colorful and Exciting. The more involved stories show an imaginative force and a real belief in the core of the characters' motivations that compel the reader's interest. Dareon and Blue are interesting and involving people to spend time with. There is plenty of room for additional intriguing adventures for this pair of characters, and I for one will be happy to see where their lives lead them.”— RICH HORTON, EDITOR OF THE YEAR’S BEST SCIENCE FICTION & FANTASY

“Dareon & Blue are worthy successors to Leiber's Fafhrd & the Gray Mouser.” — BOB A. FAUST, AUTHOR OF SCRAPPERS AND BRINK OF BATTLE WAR-GAMES

One Night in Merth, that most westerly city tottering on the edge of the Succulent Sea, a desperate young poet swordsman and an ingenuous young tribal warrior meet by chance or fate or luck. Their unlikely friendship sets them on a course of adventures across the wild mysterious continent of Plemora, where they face monsters, magicians, maledictions, and things nameless and far stranger.

A novel-length collection of Heroic Fantasy Sword and Sorcery Adventures in the tradition of the Golden Age (Fritz Leiber, Jack Vance, Michael Moorcock, Robert E. Howard, and C.L. Moore).

Written and Illustrated by Robert Zoltan.
