One of these is a shape-shifter that morphs between man and Leopard. ![]() This man, Tracker, has a “nose” for finding the things that he seeks and is used to working alone, but in this instance agrees to travel with a group of other individuals. The setup in this first volume is that a boy was abducted about three years ago, and the main character has been tasked with finding him. Okay, I’d say that’s a pretty good primer for one of the most tedious books I’ve finished reading in a long, long time.īLACK LEOPARD, RED WOLF is the first book in a planned trilogy that is purported to be a collection of different perspectives surrounding the same series of events. How could I not take them up on that opportunity? At the time though, I somehow completely missed the fact that the author of this book… was actually on the panel. Well, not just any old list, but a list from Time Magazine of “The Best 100 Fantasy Books of All Time” put together by a selected panel of “well-esteemed” fantasy authors.
