Being a cop in the only nonhuman city in the world is tough.

You’ve got magical and mundane crimes, standard and supernatural perps, and as always, plenty of paperwork for both.

The different groups don’t often mix. Elves have elvish problems, goblins have goblin problems. Everyone takes care of their own.

But with the rest of the world going to hell, literally in some places, this divided city has to change.

Enter the Inquisitors, the first arm of the integration initiative to make a stronger, better Quadras.

Spearheading the Inquisitor program are two cops who’d rather be anywhere but with each other.

Doughas Ruiridh is an old warhorse from the Dwarven Quarter hoping to retire already. Esselliar VorKluvaith is a hotshot elf investigator looking to bust corruption, unfettered by a partner.

They must find a way to work together and trust each other because something big is coming.

Malicious factions are growing like cancers in the city, and their schemes could cost the lives of thousands.

The Inquisitors will have to make this partnership work if they don’t want the city’s next breath to be its last.

    Michael Anderle (ok, weird talking about myself in the 3rd person) (1967-Hopefully a long time from NOW) was born in Houston, Tx. A very curious child, he got into trouble - a lot. What to do with an inquisitive mind when he was grounded? Read!

    Ok, done with all of that 3rd person stuff.

    In the first 20 years, I mostly read Science Fiction and Fantasy. In the last 10 years I have enjoyed Urban Fantasy and Military Fiction. With this background, I've been blessed with creating The Kurtherian Gambit series, a well-selling, and fan loved, collection of stories.

    The fans have propelled these stories beyond my wildest imagination and they should get all of the credit for sharing with friends, family and occasionally the random person on the street. They are fantastic!

    Aaron was born to parents who taught him two very important things: truth matters and imagination is not a crime.

    Our protagonist has spent the rest of his life trying to live out those two maxims, much to the chagrin of every unfortunate around him (progenitors included).

    As such, by age six or seven, he was writing stories about a dark, reptilian avenger who brought final, painful justice to the guilty- with unsettling illustrations to boot. His beloved and benighted parents realized that budding sociopathy would simply not do, and so they began introducing him to tales of great and good heroes. First the account of a certain carpenter, then a hairy-footed burglar, then a savior lion, and after that point our protagonist was plunging face first and arms out into a world of heroism both real and imagined. While far from a hero himself, he has endeavored to try and capture that same bowed but unbroken spirit that dwells in a dark and ugly world, because that as far as he can tell is what makes it all worth while.

    Along this rambling, dreaming way he managed to find a woman he could bamboozle into loving him, and then even have children with, Lord have mercy on them all.

    Now Aaron has managed to cram no few exciting jobs and hair-raising experiences into his life so far, and God help him, he hopes for many more. It is these that drive his captured glimpses of something epic. If you have the time you should pull up a chair, grab a beer, light a pipe, or whatever your pre-literary consumption ritual may be and give them a look. It's been said they are truly monstrous, but as any true hero knows, monsters often guard treasure.

    ---

    Currently some of this hard won loot from Aaron's word-hoard is headed your way:

Congratulations to Aaron D. Schneider and Michael Anderle for this amazing series. It’s extremely hard to find such interesting and exciting authors who not only write intelligently but also provide top rated plots, characters and excitement in the stories. I’m really looking forward to the next book.

I loved the elf and dwarf characters but the storyline was lame. Got half way thru before I gave up. Needed more action and less predictable story. As someone who has read a few hundred books by Michael I think a little more help from Michael should do the trick.

I rarely write reviews, although I do add appropriate ‘stars’.
As a Terry Pratchett fan, not to mention a Michael Anderle fan, this caught my eye. And it certainly did not disappoint.
Good world building and characters, and dialogue with just the right amount of Pratchett-esque humor.
I have to say I enjoyed this tale, and look forward to reading more installments.
Good job, guys!

I haven't read such a fun book in a long time. The relationship between the heroic partners is constantly growing and very funny. I read the book straight through without stop.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lethal Weapon— The fantasy version
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2022

Take two very different cops and shove them together as partners. Give them reasons to suspect one another. Get them past that, so they can start with the witty repartee. Create a plot with lots of chase scenes, physical violence, shootouts, and a bomb that has to be defused at the last minute.

Unfortunately, Danny Glover and Mel Gibson weren’t unavailable, so instead of being based in New York City, the action takes place in a fantasy world, and the cops are a dwarf and an elf.

Still, the plot’s familiar, even if the bad guys include carnivorous redcaps— something Hollywood hasn’t quite caught up with.

A lot of action. Not for the squeamish minded or easily offended. Choreographed fight scenes so well developed I could feel my muscles tingle. I am a definite couch warrior who enjoyed every page.

I really enjoyed Doughas and Vol. I liked their different view points as a dwarf and elf and the fact they still made good partners. I also enjoyed the other species in the story. There was plenty of action and humor in the book and I am looking forward to the next story.

Put a Dwarf and an Elf cop together to find out who is trying to destroy the undercity step back and see what happens, well it seemed like a good idea at the time now not so much, it doesn't help that they both think the other one is a dirty cop. Absolutely hilarious and filled with action fights more fights snark and humour as they bumble their way to stopping the bad guys. Great storylines and wonderful zany characters make this a laugh-out-loud romp you don't want to miss. Can't wait to read book two, Baz.
