![]() ![]() ![]() The two characters are the core of this book. ![]() So one wielding a sword and being all independent is something of a novelty, and even a turn-on. In the south, you see, women are concubines, property, chattel, barely human at all. Though he clearly thinks she's on a hopeless quest, Tiger agrees to be Del's guide in the hopes he can get some of that sexy northern poosay. Del is looking for her brother, captured by raiders and sold into slavery five years before. The tale begins when Del, a dazzling blonde swordsmistress from the frozen north, tracks down the Sandtiger (Tiger for short), a smug, rascally rapscallion in the "young Clint Eastwood by way of a young Brando by way of every romance novel studmuffin ever written" mode, who plies his trade as a "sword-dancer" in the harsh Southron desert country. Sword-Dancer is an admirable introduction to the six-volume adventures of Tiger and Del, one of fantasy's more popular and appealing odd couples. ![]()
