Knife's Edge

The Adventures of Basil and Moebius

by Timothy Zahn, Dave Dorman (Illustrator), Ryan Schifrin (Editor)

Alaric Moebius and Basil Fox are two lovable scoundrels looking to make a quick fortune. Basil is a former SAS trooper turned Queen’s Guard by day and thief by night. Moebius is an Oxford-educated charmer with a knack for getting into trouble. Together they chase adventure under the patronage of “The Collector,” a mysterious billionaire with a taste for rare and valuable supernatural objects of the occult.Created by award-winning director RYAN SCHIFRIN, this third original short story sends the unlikely duo to India, where Basil learns that an old friend and Special Forces comrade he thought long dead is actually in the hands of a local warlord hellbent on retrieving the sacred blade Basil now carries as a momento. What secrets does this precious Kuhkri blade hide, and are they connected in supernatural ways to The Collector's current the lovely and mysterious Sita Kaur...?Written by fan-favorite sci-fi author TIMOTHY ZAHN ("Star Heir to the Empire" "The Thrawn Trilogy" and more), this paranormal rescue tale expands on the series of prose and graphic novel adventures available from Magnetic Press.For more adventure and information, visit www.magnetic-press.com.

This review is from: Knife's Edge (A Basil and Moebius Adventure Book 3) (Kindle Edition)

Well, an awful lot happens in forty pages. You may gasp for breath at the pace, but you shouldn't be bored if you like adventure stories leavened with a little science fiction. The duo of Basil and Moebius have a lot of potential for dry wit as roguish gentlemen adventurers but so much happens so fast in books two and three of the series that there is little room for exploiting that potential. This is still a pretty solid four or five star story.
