Review Summaries
"Tasselhoff Burrfoot tries to save the future of his fantasy world by defending the future world against dragons. While he defends the future from the dragons he flees dark knights who wish to use a magical device that he has in his position to take over the world. He thwarts their efforts, saves his friends from execution and prepares for a war against the dragons that now rule the planet. Though he is a thief he shows unquestionable courage and loyalty to the old gods of good and his old friends as well. "
