<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A distinguished compilation of two classic fantasy novels, <i>Soldier of the Mist </i>and <i>Soldier of </i><i>Areté</i>, in one volume <p/>This omnibus of two acclaimed novels is the story of Latro, a Roman mercenary who while fighting in Greece received a head injury that deprived him of his short-term memory but gave him in return the ability to see and converse with the supernatural creatures and the gods and goddesses, who invisibly inhabit the ancient landscape. Latro forgets everything when he sleeps. Writing down his experiences every day and reading his journal anew each morning gives him a poignantly tenuous hold on himself, but his story's hold on readers is powerful indeed, and many consider these Wolfe's best books.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"SF's greatest novelist, and overall one of America's finest. . . a wonder, yes, a genius." --<i>The Washington Post Book World</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Gene Wolfe (1931-2019)</b> was the Nebula Award-winning author of The Book of the New Sun tetralogy in the Solar Cycle, as well as the World Fantasy Award winners <i>The Shadow of the Torturer</i> and <i>Soldier of Sidon</i>.
