Review by: Shawn Oetzel on June 02, 2011 :
David Lee Summers, story THE SLAYERS is an innovative retelling of the Moby Dick saga. Fantasy fans will devour this tale as fast as the dragons who fill the text of the story gobble up their hunters. Highly entertaining read that I cannot recommend enough!
