I'm always fond of a good read in just about any genre - history, biography, science fiction, fiction, epic fairy tales, etc. Recently I read the book "The Stone Men" by Michael Ball and illustrated by Christopher Bort. This is a first book for both Mike and Chris. They are one talented team of guys! The story line and artwork is great.

To quote their website at Red Dragon Publishing:

"The people of Lystmar learn to fear these words as their lands are invaded by brutal creatures. The Stone Men rampage across the countryside, leaving death and broken lives behind them. As the Kingdom fights for its survival, one young man finds himself thrust into a quest to find and destroy the source of this blood thirsty evil."

Mike tells me that there are more books in the works so keep watching for the next in the series!

Definitely worth reading.
