The once-great city of Gastar stands in ruins following centuries of war by undead monsters driven by an evil temple. Victory cost the people of the knowledge to defeat another enemy, Zermon, ruler of hell, who seeks to extend his realm by annihilation of the few people left. With the help of a sympathetic ancient dragon, volunteer fighters from the past war, and the arrival of a teen assassin named Shevata who is known to Zermon, they combine efforts for the existence of the people of Gastar.

Bessie's book should be obligatory for anyone considering a creative life. The
story is rich in detail, funny, and honest. Bessie has compromised no more than
he had to, and reviews a rich and sometimes desperate life as a creative erson
who sustained himself by wit and wile. I hope that I'll be able to say as much
about my own. / from the forward by PETER COYOTE, Emmy-winning actor / ET, Erin Brocovich, etc.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:11pt;"><font size="2"><span style="font-size:10px;"><br /></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:11pt;"><font size="2"><span style="font-size:12px;"></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:11pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><em><span style="font-size:12px;">"Reeling

you've ever wondered what Jane Fonda, Spiderman, Clint Eastwood, Bertholt
Brecht, Tom and Jerry and Ken and Barbie and Roy and Dale plus others including
the Culligan Man and the House UnAmerican Activities Committee have in common,
the answer is Dan Bessie. He encounters them all in his lively account of his
