Dane The Defiant Returns!

Rune Warriors The Sword of Dune by James Jennewein and Tom S. Parker Their Backkk! Dane the Defiant, Klint the Raven and Astrid Mistress of the blade have returned. Dane discovers that fame and fortune are fleeting. His 15 minutes of fame dissolves is the mundane issues of protecting and leading a community. Dane and company provide an enormous range of interesting characters. Dane finds himself and his friends in another quest complete with the requisite evil villains and outlandish monsters. The interplay between Dane and his friends provides comedic relief. Atrid's support helps Dane maintain own resolution. A surprise ending just when you think all the scary stuff is over sets the stage for another book. The authors did a nice job showing courage, cooperation, conflict resolution while interjecting age appropriate humor. I recommend the book .

Roller Coaster Adventure!

A thoroughly enjoyable read! If you are looking for total realism, you probably won't find it though and some of the characters are a bit inconsistent. However the humor, action and story line make up for it I feel.
