The Sword and the Chain: Book Two of The Guardians of the Flame

Having passed through the Gate back to Earth, Karl Cullinane, Walter Slovotsky and other surviving fellow fantasy gamers now return to the Other Side, a place of mystery, magic, dragons -- and slavery.

The gamers build their own town, using engineering skills learned on Earth. But their fight against slavery continues. Karl and a small band of followers set out to raid wagons before slavers and their captives can reach the slave markets â€“ and, on this latest trip, to deliver a freed slave child back to her family. They face attacks not only from slavers--the Wizardsâ€™ Guild, in alliance with the Slaversâ€™ Guild, had set out to destroy them. Courage, ingenuity, and sharp fighting skills are required as these former college gamers make this wondrous but dangerous land their new home.

Joel Rosenberg (1954-2011) grew up reading Robert A. Heinlein, L. Sprague de Camp, Gordon R. Dickson and Rafael Sabatini, and found himself becoming a writer pretty much as a natural outcome of such early influences.

He is best known as the author of the Guardians of the Flame fantasy series, although his other science fiction and fantasy -- particularly the Mordred's Heirs series, published by Baen Books -- has been drawing him new fans.

Outside of science fiction and fantasy, he was known as a terrific amateur cook, a particularly good firearms instructor and remarkably bad bridge player. He lived in Minneapolis MN, with his wife Felicia Herman and two daughters, five cats, and the most useless dog ever born.
