Salute to Adventurers is a thrilling and action-packed adventure story that explores themes of loyalty, honor, and the price of freedom.My arm was too short to make a fighter of me, and I could only strive to close, that I might get the use of my weight and my great strength of neck and shoulder. Ringan danced round me, tapping me lightly on nose and cheek, but hard enough to make the blood flow, I defended myself as best I could, while my temper rose rapidly and made me forget my penitence. Time and again I looked for a chance to slip in, but he was as wary as a fox, and was a yard off before I could get my arm round him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
