HEROES DIE

自古英雄死得早，但肯恩非英雄，他是刺客

以渾名「堤沙爾之刃」聞名於安克哈那，歷來栽在肯恩手上的君王、庶民、惡棍及英雄至今不計其數。肯恩行事不屈不撓、無人能擋，執殺手界翹楚。一直以來肯恩過著不受宰制自由自在的生活。

在地球的老家，肯恩化身為哈利．麥克森，精彩絕倫的冒險生活讓麥克森成了家喻戶曉的超級巨星，還為自己贏得了無數的影迷。然而麥克森卻仍為僵硬的階級制度所束縛，對於自己那遙遠的家鄉，出於娛樂犧牲無數人們性命，迫使自己刻意忽略這殘酷的事實，麥克森滿腹的怒氣只能隱忍不發。但如今麥克森跨越了那條界線，他那分居的牽手帕拉絲．瑞兒，竟然在安克哈那貧民窟離奇失蹤。為了拯救瑞兒，麥克森必須挺身面對至今最大的挑戰，與兩大世界最為狡猾奸詐的統治者，玩起最致命的貓捉老鼠遊戲。

BUT CAINE'S NO HERO. HE'S AN ASSASSIN.

Renowned throughout the land of Ankhana as the Blade of Tyshalle, Caine has killed his share of monarchs and commoners, villains and heroes. He is relentless, unstoppable, simply the best there is at what he does. He is free.

At home on Earth, Caine is Hari Michaelson, a superstar whose adventures command an audience of billions. Yet he is shackled by a rigid caste society, bound to ignore the grim fact that men die on a far-off world for the entertainment of his own planet—bound to keep his rage in check.

But now Michaelson has crossed the line. His estranged wife, Pallas Rill, has mysteriously disappeared in the slums of Ankhana. To save her, he must confront the greatest challenge of his life: a lethal game of cat and mouse with the most treacherous rulers of two worlds.

Matthew Woodring Stover has created a spectacular, page-turning epic where a Jackal-type assassin maneuvers through a vivid Tolkienesque world. With a plot as driven as its main character and drawn against a setting as vivid as the very best in fantasy, Heroes Die is a brilliant feat of the imagination.
