Great short story. I like the characters and the stories each one tells, along with the surprise ending.

A beautifully crafted short story with a neat twist at the end. Yes it does follow the 'three men in a bar' start, but what is done with the storyline beyond that is original and engaging. If this is a true taster of what Mike Jansen can produce then the full-length novel will be well worth reading.

This is a pretty decent short story. Set up in the classic "So 3 guys walk into this bar..." routine, it wasn't exactly what I expected, but it made a good fantasy short. Knowing that a full novel was writtn around this plot has me intrigued as well. The only difficulty was in the translation to English, which was pretty minor if you can overlook a few misspellings and an occasional error in grammar. Its staying in my library.
