[Jane Mercer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great Childrens book about a wandering night. It has a simplistic style so suitable for younger readers but as an adult I enjoyed it immensely.
This is an omnibus edition with all three of the Free Lance books in it (Lake of Skulls, Field of Blood and Dragon's Hoard)
