Contents:
- Soldier of the Mist (1986)
- Soldier of Arete (1989)
A distinguished compilation of two classic fantasy novels, Soldier of the Mist and Soldier of Arete, in one volume.
This
omnibus of two acclaimed novels is the story of Latro, a Roman
mercenary who while fighting in Greece received a head injury that
deprived him of his short-term memory but gave him in return the
ability to see and converse with the supernatural creatures and the
gods and goddesses, who invisibly inhabit the ancient landscape. Latro
forgets everything when he sleeps. Writing down his experiences every
day and reading his journal anew each morning gives him a poignantly
tenuous hold on himself, but his story's hold on readers is powerful
indeed, and many consider these Wolfe's best books.
