Why read it?
1 author picked The Black Hawks as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Chel isn’t a man cut out to be a hard-nosed mercenary, but he falls in with a badass crew and the resulting exploits and squabbling prove highly entertaining for the rest of us even if he’s miserable throughout much of it!
