Frick goes Fantasy: Sardev, the shadow of peace

Blogger colleague Klaus N. Frick most likely as a writer of stories about the small town punks Peter Pank, which appear regularly in the Ox-magazine and now two books (Thanks, Peter Pank and Chaos en France - Peter Pank in Avignon) are known to fill. But now instead of beer cans flying fragments, namely human, because with "Sardev, the shadow of peace" (Basilisk), has science fiction fan Frick, a Rastatter Verlag famous space adventure series Perry Rhodan serves as editor in chief, the first time ventured into the fantasy genre. Lives in Karlsruhe Frick adheres not to the development of such multi verses or complicated magic concepts, but goes one way, already the inventor of spaghetti Westerns, Sergio Leone with "A Fistful of Dollars" and Sergio Corbucci with "Django", or later, Ridley Scott's "Alien" or "Blade Runner" followed successful: It brings back a overloaded with all sorts of trinkets and kitsch motif on the (dirty) working level. His main character is no hero, but a lonely loser, an outcast, a bloody Job has to do - there is Sardevs revenge on the traitor Schorrn - whose fulfillment is but it will not bring peace. For a professional partisan guerrillas as a Sardev this means the end of the fight not just earned rest but decline in employment, even meaningless - that explains the seemingly contradictory title. A small, straight-written, exciting, sometimes brutal book. More appropriate for friends of the venerable Robert E. Howard (Conan), as for friends by Stephenie Meyer (Twilight).
