Blade of Tyshalle
Twenty-seven years ago, they said Hari Michaelson didn't have a chance.
He was just a loser, a street criminal from a disgraced family. He'd
never make anything of himself. They were wrong. He made himself into
Caine: Killer. Superstar. Hero...
THE BLADE OF TYSHALLE
Six
years ago, Ma'elKoth – a god of Overworld – held Pallas Ril in his
merciless grip. Earth's ruling elite wanted her dead. Caine swore he
would save her. They said he didn't have a chance. They were wrong. He
sacrificed his career as Caine to crush Pallas Ril's enemies and bring
her home.
Now Hari Michaelson is the only man who stands between
the soulless corporate masters of Earth and the green hills of
Overworld. Caine's victory over Ma'elKoth opened a door between the
worlds, and the faceless masses of Earth are killing everything he
loves. Enemies old and new array themselves against him. And Hari's not
even Caine anymore. He's just one man – alone, half-crippled, powerless.
They say he doesn't have a chance.
They are wrong...
Matthew Stover
Matthew Woodring Stover (born 1962) is an American fantasy novelist. Stover graduated in 1983 from Drake University and settled in Chicago. Stover is a student of the Degerberg Blend. This jeet kune do concept is a mixture of approximately twenty-five different fighting arts from around the world. This combat style influences the way Stover writes his fight scenes, for which he has won considerable acclaim. He lives in Chicago with artist and writer Robyn Fielder.
Stover is the acclaimed author of two fantasy novels, Iron Dawn and Jericho Moona, and two science-fiction and fantasy hybrid stories featuring a hero named Caine: Heroes Die and Blade of Tyshalle. Stover lists some of his prime influences as Roger Zelazny, Stephen R. Donaldson, and Fritz Leiber.
Stover is one of the most controversial authors in the Star Wars Expanded Universe. His three Star Wars novels are much more violent and morally grey than most other Star Wars works, which has earned him both fans and detractors.
