  • "Wenn Magie zum Mythos wird - das bedeutendste Fantasy-Debüt des Jahres Das Königreich Alba erstreckt sich bis weit in den Norden. Hier, am Königshof und innerhalb der Burgmauern, bestimmen höfische Intrigen, Turniere und die Ordnung des Gesetzes das Leben der Menschen. Dort draussen, jenseits der Grenzen, herrscht allerdings die Wildnis, unerbittlich und voll dunkler Magie. Doch die Wildnis fordert zurück, was ihr einst abgerungen wurde - und so wird ein Krieger auserwählt, sich mit seiner Schar von Söldnern der Magie und den Bestien der Wildnis entgegenzustellen. Dies ist seine Geschichte. Mit 'Der Rote Krieger', dem Auftakt seiner Fantasy-Saga, entfaltet Miles Cameron ein episches Panorama, das mit seiner Wucht und Grösse seinesgleichen sucht. Miles Cameron hat mittelalterliche Geschichte studiert und als Soldat selbst an vielen Kriegsschauplätzen gekämpft. Inzwischen widmet er sich jedoch ganz dem Schreiben und dem historischen Schwertkampf. Miles Cameron ist verheiratet und lebt in Kanada."
  • "Twenty eight florins a month is nowhere near enough when a wyvern's jaws snap shut on your helmet in the hot stink of battle, and the beast starts to rip the head from your shoulders. But if standing and fighting is hard, leading a company of men-- or worse, a company of mercenaries-- against the smart, deadly creatures of the Wild is even harder. It takes all the advantages of birth, training, and the luck of the devil to do it. The Red Knight has all three. So when he hires his company out to protect an Abbess and her nunnery, it's just another job ..."@en
  • "This is a world dominated by The Wild. Man lives in pockets of civilisation claimed from The Wild. Within men's walls life is civilised, the peace punctuated by tournaments, politicking, courtly love and canny business. Beyond those walls men are prey - vulnerable to the exceptionally powerful and dangerous creatures which populate the land, and even more vulnerable to those creatures schemes. So when one of those creatures breaks out of The Wild and begins preying on people in their homes, it takes a specialist to hunt it down or drive it out and even then, it's a long, difficult and extremely dangerous job. The Black Captain and his men are one such group of specialists. They have no idea what they're about to face."
