The Maze of Peril

The Maze of Peril

John Eric Holmes

To those with the courage and ability to survive, the maze pays equal tribute in its fabulous mysteries and treasures from countless civilizations. Now the Dagonites plot to keep these riches for themselves. Boinger the halfling and his companions must discover the Dagonite stronghold, challenge their warriors and wizards, rescue a friend, preserve the waterways of Amazonia, and maybe even save the world. Inspired by the popular “Dungeons & Dragons” role-playing game.

“Clarity of thought and presentation, inherently interesting material, and a flair for the written word makes John Eric Holmes’ The Maze of Peril a must acquisition for any serious student of contemporary creative fiction.”—The Midwest Book Review
