Annals of the Nameless Dwarf #6
Fate of the Dwarf Lords
Having worked out his penance and resettled his people in the citadel of Arnoch, the Nameless Dwarf decides to start a new life in the up-and-coming town of Brink.
Seven years later, he has everything a dwarf could possibly wish for—a gym, a beer hall, and a bawdy house across the road.
Then a blood-stained dwarf staggers into town with a message of doom:
Arnoch has sunk beneath the waves, its last defense against the attack of a five-headed dragon.
The one slender hope remaining to the dwarves lies in their distant past: the dwarf lords, who had been created for perils such as this. But for centuries, they have been in exile on Thanatos, a death-world likely to change even the greatest of heroes.
With time running out for Arnoch, Nameless must find the dwarf lords and persuade them to come home.
But before that, he first has to survive them.

Great continuation of the Nameless series! Book six and Nameless, et all venture to bring the Dwarf Lords of history back from Thanatos to Arnoch to save the fate of his people from the dragon. Characters are consistent with prior novels and some old friends return. I still enjoy the series and see that there are more in the line besides 1-6. Another great narration by Mike Carnes for the audible version.

Another great read
As before, I enjoy following the travels of Nameless and Shadrak and where their journeys take them. Good story with more characters along the way.

Great, fast paced story. Even with this being a reread. It still ended with a bit of a cliffhanger.
