Publisher's summary

In which Vlad Taltos confronts the Left Hand of the Jhereg…and discovers the game has more players than he thought...

Vlad Taltos, short-statured, short-lived human in an Empire of tall, long-lived Dragaerans, has always had to keep his wits about him. Long ago, he made a place for himself as a captain of the Jhereg, the noble house that runs the rackets in the great imperial city of Adrilankha. But love, revolution, betrayal, and revenge ensued, and for years now Vlad has been a man on the run, struggling to stay a step ahead of the Jhereg who would kill him without hesitation.

Now Vlad's back in Adrilankha. The rackets he used to run are now under the control of the mysterious "Left Hand of the Jhereg" - a secretive cabal of women who report to no man. His ex-wife needs his help. His old enemies aren't sure whether they want to kill him, or talk to him and then kill him. A goddess may be playing tricks with his memory. And the Great Weapon he's carrying seems to have plans of its own….

Picking up directly where Issola left off, Dzur gives us Vlad Taltos at his best - swashbuckling storytelling with a wry and gritty edge.

love these books but..

okay I love the taltos books, but this one actually took me a week to push through most I have done in 2-3 days. just his ramblings about food every chapter or 2 just make it hard. once or twice, cool that's fine but sooo often come on. we get it valabars is amazing and perfect.

Great story, Not fond of the voices

If you could sum up Dzur in three words, what would they be?

Back to basics.

What other book might you compare Dzur to and why?

Earlier books in the series. The book immediately before this one strayed too far away from what attracted me to the series in the first place.

What didn’t you like about Bernard Setaro Clark’s performance?

I know that character voices are open to interpretation, but these just seemed ALL wrong to me. Loiosh sounded like Peter Lorre, which didn't do it for me. And ALL the Dragaerans sounded stoned.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The very very end. You'll know when you get there.

Back on track

After a long time away from being the fantastic schemer and irascible rogue we all know and love, Vlad is back in town!

Amazing

Steven Brust's world through Vlad's eyes fully voiced and characterized by Bernard Setaro Clark is indomitable.

Excellent but...

My only complaint is the narrator pronounces Dzur with a ts sound. In my mind it sounds different

don't read if hungry.

This is probably one of the best series that's out there right now. As a hardcore bookworm, it's one of the best I've ever read, and I average about one book a week, and have for some 20 years now.
