The Benevolence Archives, Vol. 1: Volume 1 - Tapa blanda

Troll evictions! Dwarf pirates! Daring rescues! Angry gods! Impossible technology! Oversized bars! Pissed-off ogres! Disrespectful spaceships! All this and a mild disregard for proper wound treatment! THE BENEVOLENCE ARCHIVES, VOL. 1 is a novella-length collection of six short stories set in a common universe. Combining elements of space opera-style science fiction and high fantasy, THE BENEVOLENCE ARCHIVES tell the adventures of Brazel, Rhundi, and Grond, a gnome/halfogre team of smugglers. THE PLANET IT'S FARTHEST FROM: A simple job in a saloon goes poorly for Brazel. THE CLOSET: Brazel and Grond are hired to teach someone why gambling can be a bad idea. YANK: Dwarven pirates. 'Nuff said. REMEMBER: Brazel and Grond are hired by one of the galaxy's most powerful people for a suspiciously easy job. THE CONTRACT: Rhundi tries to get through a simple business negotiation without anyone being shot. THE SIGIL: Brazel and Grond encounter something horrifying on a frozen rock in the middle of nowhere.
