I read this novel when it was initially published in the mid-80s. The reader also learns more about Vlad's past in this, and in other, lives. Unfortunately, this thief turns out to be protected in a way that makes it difficult for Vlad to do his job without gaining the permanent enmity of a friend. One of the most powerful bosses in the Jhereg-Dragaera's premier criminal organization-hires Vlad, one of their guild members, to assassinate Mellar, who stole millions from the Jhereg leadership and fled. The books recount the adventures of the wisecracking hired killer Vlad, a human on a planet mainly inhabited by the long-lived, extremely tall sorcerers known as the Dragaerans. The first to be published, this is actually the fourth novel in the timeline of the VLAD TALTOS series. Und er ist in Schwierigkeiten, denn er muss einen Krieg verhindern, in dem sich seine besten Freunde und daneben auch die großen Familien von Dragaera gegenseitig auslöschen würden. Vlad Taltos ist ein Hexer, freiberuflicher Attentäter, lebt als Ostländer (also Mensch) unter Dragaeranern und nennt einen reptilischen Vertrauten mit beissendem Humor sein Eigen.
