Rock of Ages
by Walter Jon Williams
Overview
After years of struggle, Drake Maijstral has been rated
Number One Burglar by the Imperial Sporting Commission. Surely by now he
deserves a vacation— and he fully intends to take one, on Earth. But valuable
items keep disappearing, and it’s clear that Maijstral, the master thief to end
all master thieves, is being preyed upon by another expert burglar. Maijstral
would very much like to solve this mystery, but unfortunately people keep
challenging him to duels, and he’s become enmeshed in conspiracies laid by two
very attractive, very dangerous ladies. And to make things worse, the corpse of
Maijstral’s father has been stolen— a corpse that is dead, but still senile.
Rock of Ages is the third hilarious Drake Maijstral
adventure by the New York Times best-selling author Walter Jon Williams.
