Paperback. A distinguished compilation of two unforgettable fantasy novels, Soldier of the Mist and Soldier of Arete.This omnibus is the story of Latro, a Roman mercenary who was fighting in Greece when he received a head injury that deprived him of his short term memory, but gave him in return the ability to see and converse with supernatural creatures, the gods and godesses.

Writing down his experiences every day and reading his journal anew each morning gives him a poignantly tenuous hold on himself, but his story's hold on readers is powerful indeed, and many consider these Wolfe's best books.

Beschädigung. Of all mortals, Latro was the least favoured - or the most. The wound that had destroyed his memory had given him the ability to see the unseen: the world of the gods, the demi-gods and the fabulous. Each day events were entered on a scroll so that the next morning he could know his friends, his rivals and have some understanding of what had gone before. He had fought with Xerxes at Thermopylae and been driven from Athenian Greece. Now with his companions, Io the slave girl and Seven Lions the African warrior, he was travelling among the Thracians and the Amazons, seeking both his future and his past. Soldier of Arete is the sequel to Gene Wolfe's award winning Soldier of the Mist.
