Bradamant: The Iron Tempest

Synopsis

Product Description 16 Hours. Unabridged, Full Cast. Before Xena™, before Wonder Woman™, fiction’s first major Warrior-Woman was Ludovico Ariosto’s Bradamant, the heroine of his classic 16th century poem, Orlando Furioso. In 7th century Europe of myths, gods and monsters, Bradamant vanquishes evil knights, rescues the unfortunate, fights black magic and destroys entire armies in her adventurous quest for her lost lover, Roggero, an enemy knight she once rescued at the risk of her own life. Roggero in turn must battle monsters, giants and evil sorceresses in his quest to be reunited with Bradamant in this epic retelling of her story, with new, original illustrations by the author and by Gustave Dore from his classic 19th century edition of Orlando Furioso. Review "Bradamant has all the adventure and romance of the great tales of Arthur, Roland, and Parsifal, illuminated by the wry sensibilities of Terry Pratchett and Monty Python..." -- -- Lillian Stewart Carl, author of Wings of Power, Garden of Thorns, and Along the Rim of Time"Bradamant is the definitive female butt-kicker, and Ron Miller does a dynamite job of novelizing her adventures . . . highly recommended." -- -- Mark E. Rogers, author of Zorachus, The Dead and Samurai Cat"Ron is unfairly talented! I expect he'll get fed up with being called the new J.B. Cabell." -- Sir Arthur C.
