- A dispossessed yeoman rises through resistance warfare against occupying forces to become a leader grappling with questions of honor and governance. First published under the pseudonym George U. Fletcher; later reissued under Pratt's own name. Critic David Pringle included it among the 100 best fantasy novels (Modern Fantasy: The 100 Best Novels, 1988). This is a separate, solo work from the Harold Shea novels Pratt co-wrote with L. Sprague de Camp.
