The Vagrant by Peter Newman

4.0

"The Vagrant" is a cross between a Mad Max movie and a classic sword & sorcery novel. Peter Newman owns the craft, he definitely knows what "show, don't tell" is all about. Come to think of it: writing about a character who's completely silent and doesn't utter a single word in 400 pages is not an easy task, considering the reader has no doubt about what the Vagrant's feelings are. This could have easily been a five-star review... if only "The Vagrant" had not been written in present tense. Aye, damn present tense!
