The Phantom Badgers #3
Dark Path
The fateful day has arrived: the Phantom Badgers must face the White Necromancer and determine their fate. But not only the world’s oldest liche must be dealt with: Oramere is threatened from two directions, and the Bloody Road must be guarded for pay.
Seven months have passed since Dark Key, and the Phantom Badgers are facing the culmination of their plans to escape the wrath of the necromancer. But while Bridget leads a squad to beard the undead horror in its den, Axel must defend Oramere, and Durek must hold the Bloody Road with the main body. Meanwhile, Kustar Pravas is far from idle…
Facing old enemies, new dangers, and unknown threats the men and women, Dwarves and Threll of the Phantom Badgers face their obligations and enemies as they struggle to forge a new life for themselves. With old friends, new recruits, and allies of unlikely origins, the Phantom Badgers struggle onward in the hopes of reaching a place of, if not peace, than at least relative safety.
From Axel Uldo, the crippled Lieutenant in command of Oramere, to Henri Toulon, the Company’s second Wizard and primary romancer, and on to the long-suffering Maxmillian von Sheer IV the Phantom Badgers will take the reader down a dark and winding path.

More please
These books are growing on me. Old characters intertwined with new. Multiple storylines working to plausible conclusions make these books a pleasure to read. Is Netflux next?

Usually when you split the POV and have subplots things feel unwieldy. Not here. Each issue was addressed and more importantly timed properly. I think the details and the after action reports you get instead of the traditional cliffhangers at the end of the books is the main reason I like this series so much. The author tells you the results of the actions of the main characters so you know exactly where you stand.
