THE SWORDSMAN OF VENICE - PART II: BLADE FOR HIRE

---

Praise for The Swordsman of Venice Part I, riveting historical fiction novella set in Italy: 

"Rob Samborn has crafted a thrilling stand-alone adventure sure to propel readers to his longer novels, The Prisoner of Paradise and Painter of the Damned. Delivering excitement and romance in abundance, The Swordsman of Venice helps keep swashbuckling alive."
    - Bruce Leonard, author of QUILT CITY MURDERS

"Samborn has pulled out all the stops to create a fast-paced story with violent bursts and unexpected events. There are moments of humour, sadness and cheering on Angelo during the action-packed story. Painter of the Damned is out on the 25th October and I can't wait, especially after reading this brilliant novella."
    - Amy McElroy, book blogger

"A page-turner from the dramatic beginning to the breath-holding ending. Superb writing, fast-moving plot, and complex protagonist on a twisting, tension-packed hero's quest. The romantic sub-plot transcends mortality while it adds a compelling dimension the main plot. Stellar work by a talented author."
