About Paul of the Ax: A Hard-Fantasy Adventure of the Far Future: Prequel to the Malkhan Series, Part 1 (Paul of the Realm)
Thousands of years in the future, on another world where men brandish iron weapons and hold aloft oil lanterns, a young man impulsively flees from an abusive step-father and discovers what he hopes might be gold. In a quest to utilize this discovery to better his life, and that of those important to him, he begins a long journey. His travels take him through the camps of savage forest warriors, and past the gaze of beautiful women to cold, dark citadel prisons where feral inmates lurk. At last, he stands in the hot-blasted air of iron-forging warehouses ringing with the clangor of hammers on steel. Then, seemingly out of harm’s way for a time, he gazes with wonder upon manicured green lawns and polished, monumental buildings of a great university, intrigued by the knowledge within. But he can never rest easy for long, as the past is quickly catching up with him while new troubles arise…
