Verbatim Box Synopsis
Bladestorm ... a terrifying story of brutality, horror and violence.
A powerful, emotional and violent story of war and determination, of a man's hatred as he takes on the superior firepower of the enemy.
A story of one man's burning ambition for total vengeance ... a man who will never forgive or forget.
The bloody conflict continues until Bladestorm erupts into total conflict ... a bloody war leaving death, destruction and sadistic killing in it's wake.
Nothing can stop the bloody battle as the culmination of years of hatred and vengeance finally result in a fight until death. Bladestorm will stop at nothing.

Friend John Grace pointed out the Bladestorm cover art is just a flipped reworking of Frank Frazetta's popular Conan the Destroyer painting from 1971. The original piece actually made news in 2010 by selling for a whopping $1.5 million!
