Product Description
This attractive new re-release of Weasel's Luck showcases a new look for the Heroes series.

The Sign of the Weasel is tunnel on tunnel,
enchantment on enchantment.
He digs beneath himself, and in digging
discovers all roads into nothing.
-- The Calantina, IX:IX

Weasel's luck was not always good.

Galen Pathwarden, known unaffectionately as "the Weasel," would give anything to stay clear of adventure, danger, or heroism.

But that is before young Galen is pitch-forked into the center of a centuries-old curse, one family blood-feud too many, and a knightly tournament unto death.

Together, Galen, the great Solamnic Knight, Sir Bayard Brightblade, and a non-too-bright centaur Agion must overcome the schemes and traps of a sinister illusionist known only as the Scorpion.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good book, August 23, 1998

By A Customer

I have always considered this book, along with Galen Beknighted, to be my favorite Dragonlance novels. I found them to be very well paced, interesting and entertaining. Also, I loved the subtle humor. I happened to buy this book at GenCon '89 at the TSR booth (before they turned it into a castle) where Michael Williams was signing autographs. My autographed copy of this book is a special treasure.

2.0 out of 5 stars Whiny brat grows up (a little), July 13, 1998

By A Customer

The last third of this book was pretty good, but the first 2/3's almost made me give up. The Pathwarden family is a typical "new money" family with very bratty kids. There are better ways to present a self-centered character than those used by the author.

4.0 out of 5 stars A decent sort of read, January 19, 2002

By	"vedvedsica" (Auckland, NZ) - See all my reviews

At first I was against reading Weasel's Luck because it didn't contain any of the Companions, something I felt betrayed the Dragonlance series. However, Williams' novel was much better than I expected maybe because of the fact that it contained no Companions. A lot of the Chronicles spin-offs (preludes, meetings), are rubbish anyway, with notable exceptions such as Mary Kirchoff's Kendermore. All in all, I thought Weasel's Luck was a good story, partly because of the fact it was not as restrained by Weis and Hickman's work than other DL novels. I sympathise with pathetic, cowardly characters, but I did feel that Galen went a little too far. Even snivelling does get boring after a while.
I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a Dragonlance novel that is slightly off the beaten track.
