Diaries of a Dwarven Rifleman

Book excerpt: Engvyr is still young as his people, the Dwarves, reckon things, but he is already a distinguished veteran of the elite Dwarven rifle regiments and a Ranger of the Mountain Guards. Now he wants nothing more than to make a place for himself, perhaps settle down and raise a family. But when a new enemy rises in the North, he finds himself at the center of the conflict, with not merely the freedom of his people but the fate of all of humanity hanging the balance... and the habit of heroism is a hard one to break. In Dwarven Rifleman, magic, science and technology work hand-in-hand to create a new kind of fantasy world. Told with humor and humanity, it is a story of sweeping events seen from a ground-level perspective by people living in and shaping the unique history of their world.
