Rob Bedford (of SFFWorld and Rob’s Blog o’ Stuff) reviews my sword and sorcery novel, The Hammer and the Blade (forthcoming from Angry Robot Books in late June 2012).

You can read the full review here.  It contains no spoilers.  Rob has many nice things to say but this is, by far, my favorite bit from the review:

“To say these characters and this story is a love letter to Fritz Lieber would be selling Kemp short of what he’s done.  In Egil and Nix, he’s given readers possible long-distant cousins to Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser….”

Everyone who knows me knows how much I love Leiber’s Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser tales, so I consider this high praise indeed.  My thanks to Rob for the review.  🙂
