Hero for Hire, by C. B. Pratt, reminded of the wonderful times years ago when I played Dungeons and Dragons. With real dice. With maps. And hardcover books. (Once upon a time, D&D; was not played on the computer. It's not a myth.)Eno posted his advertisement in the marketplace:"Hero for Hire. All monsters dispatched from carnivorous geese to Minotaurs. Special rates for multiples. Eno the Thracian at the sign of the Ram's Head, one flight up."Reading Eno's story is like sitting with him in a tavern, drinking ale and boasting of past adventures.Eno is struck by Cupid's arrow when he glimpses the third daughter of an oil merchant. As Eno knows, "nice girls like that never talked to their future husbands. Or saw them. Or even knew there was such a man until her father told her otherwise."Needing a large infusion of cash to win his ladylove, Eno decides to bring back a harpy in return for a large sum of money.I loved this book and highly recommend it.
