"Mighty Greyboar, the world's greatest professional
strangler, is dissatisfied with his lot in life. The work
is steady and the pay is good, but what, he wonders, is
the point of it all?" "But when he learns that there is a
Supreme Philosophy of Life, Greyboar the Strangler is Born
Again! Still, just how can a professional man in good
standing pay the bills with all this philosophical
exploration getting in the way?" "That's what his hard-
headed agent and manager Ignace wants to know! And
Ignace's skepticism turns quickly into outright horror
when Greyboar's philosophical preoccupation leads to one
disaster after another." "Before you know it, Greyboar the
strangler and his disgruntled manager find themselves
embroiled with an abbess at odds with her deity, heretics
on the run, dwarves needing to be rescued, and then - the
worst of all!" "Greyboar's long-estranged sister
Gwendolyn, political activist and revolutionary, comes
back to town asking Greyboar's help in an insane mission
to the underworld. It's purely a noble cause, one which no
self-respecting assassin would touch for a moment. But in
the pursuit of Enlightenment, anything can happen."
