A very fun novelization of the famous AD&D adventure modules, D1-D3. The books expand on the novels, first giving a plausible reason for the trip to the Underdark, and an equally plausible reason why the trip must be accomplished quickly. Unlike the original mods, there's actually a reason why they have to to the shrine of the Kuo-Toa and then the Vault of the Drow. A very urgent and personal reason. This book features a return of the characters from Kidd's previous novels, Justicar and his pixie wizard friend Escalla, plus his sentient hell-hound cloak companion, Cinders. Great action, great characters and a great novelization.
