Description:

Ed Greenwood takes us into the mind of his signature character on what could very well be his last adventure. After a two-year wait, fans are eager for this next adventure.

Captured by a powerful demon, the Forgotten Realms legendary wizard is mprisoned in hell and tortured for his most prized and valuable possession-his mind. To resist means certain death, but to give in means absolute madness.

From Publishers Weekly

Gods and mortals alike succumb to gambling fever aboard the Peace of Boona on its yearly baccarat cruise, and would-be lovers Max and Eleanor, children of two of the game's celebrated fixtures, are alternately seduced and repulsed by the frenzy. From up above, Kronos, Apollo and other celestial powerhouses dabble in earthly matters as the Titan Argus competes with the mortal D.A. Holon for the strumpet La Petite's love in Mark Broderick's madcap first book, Baccarat: Nine Lives South of Boona.
