Book Review: Bohun - The Complete Savage Adventures by Steve Dilks - PART SIX

 

Part Six of my review of:
 
BOHUN: THE COMPLETE SAVAGE ADVENTURES
 
By Steve Dilks
 
Carnelian Press, 2024. 219 pages
 
Cover artwork Adam Benet Shaw
 
Interior artwork Kurt Brugel
 
Red Trail of Vengeance is the final story in this collection taken from the pages of Savage Realms Monthly (Issue 28, May 2024). And true to form this additional segment of Bohun’s saga is filled with all the action and colour you would expect.

Never gifted with having much luck, when our intrepid hero arrives at the ruins of an abandoned castle expecting to find shelter for the night, he finds instead a well-armed band of ruthless bandits waiting for him, who demand his horse and what gold he carries. Unwilling to hand over either, and knowing they will kill him regardless, a fight ensues. Outnumbered, though, Bohun is quickly overwhelmed. Badly wounded, he is stripped of his armour and left to die. But death doesn’t come so easily to men such as Bohun, whose Damzullahan ancestors were endowed with an almost preternatural endurance. Which for the bandits means one day he will recover from his wounds and seek them out to exact his revenge… Another colourful tale with plenty of twists and turns and vividly described action, which culminates in an ancient city ruled by bandits.
