"Warleader - A Blood and Tears Short Story" by author Joshua P. Simon. This Kindle e-book was a 135 Kb download (approx. 53 printed pages) and was free (normally $0.99) at the time of writing this review.This short work could be considered a prequel to the first book in 'The Blood and Tears' trilogy, "Rise and Fall". The titled story takes up 58% of the download, the remainder being an excerpt from the early part of the first book in the trilogy.This story details an early trial encounter between Tobin and his brother Kaz, both of whom wish be become Warleader for the Blue Island Clan.
