The Masterless Sword Book 1

By: Tom Sheppard

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Michael Galliger is a brilliant scientist. Tasked with creating an army to defend his country, he uses his towering intellect to bring mythological creatures to life. Elves, Dwarves, Faeries, Sprites, Brownies, and even Dragons all become real warriors. But each creation is successively twisted by their enemies into brutal parodies of their original forms and turned against Michael and his allies. Pressed for a decisive weapon to give his allies the advantage, Micheal creates a weapon of mass destruction in the form of a sword. But, who can weild such a terrible weapon and not be consumed by it? And, when everything goes wrong, as it inevitably does in all-out warfare, what will become of Michael's weapons, living and not, when human civilization crumbles and their overlords are gone?
