The Ulin, an elder race of giants, have long ruled the world as gods. A human warrior and a half-elf trickster become friends as a result of the suffering they have endured at the hands of the giant Ulahane. Together they challenge the age-old tyranny of the immortals. The author of Wizard in Mind and the "Warlock" series launches a new series set in a world not far removed from the Stone Age. Stasheff, an adroit storyteller, creates a fast-paced adventure with well-developed, likable protagonists. A good choice for fantasy collections.
