"The King's Dragon" - Scott Chantler

If you're looking for a funny, clean, full-of-adventure graphic novel...This is it! It's got everything from knights to pirates to kings to thieves, and even more impressive, an actually compelling plot with twists and turns.

This is #4 in the "Three Thieves" series. It's the backstory, told in parallel with the current story, of the knight hunting the thieves. He's got a personal vendetta for seeking them out. Also learn where the story REALLY started...

"The Man Who Never Missed" - Steve Perry

This was good, but weird. Involved, but not long enough. Deep, but gruesome. It's like a book you want to recommend but you feel like you let someone down if they do read it.

Seriously, I enjoyed reading it, but I hesitate to recommend it because it does have a lot of graphic language and it felt short-lived. It feels like it's book 1 of a series only there isn't a book 2. (It is book 1 of 8 in the "Matador" series but ... you'll have to read it to see why).

Khadaji is a bar owner on a planet loaded with Confederation soldiers. He goes out at night and paralyzes almost 3,000 of them. Khadaji is a soldier in the Confederation army, a governing body for the galaxy. After a slaughter of a battle, he deserts. Khadaji is in training for Sumito, a martial art. He stinks at it. Khadaji is a student on a planet designed for education. He learns a lot, including how and what drugs are worth smuggling.

"Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant" -Tony Cliff

I came across this book twice before I finally read it. It was a fun, funny, easy read.

Delilah Dirk is an adventurer with skills ranging from sword fighting to dancing to piloting in situations ranging from polite society to the jungle to tough cities. She takes up with Selim, a Turkish Lieutenant with a taste (and nose) for tea, accidentally in Constantinople. They face a lot together, come to understand each other, and even sacrifice for each other until they stumble upon a friendship they built. It's a happy story considering all the bloodshed...
