Dwarf Days

Lumberlane Wall, the murderous giant who stood over seven feet, looked down at his opponent and laughed. "Dwarf," he said, "you've given me such a sight that I almost hate to kill you. A midget with a stick against a man with a battle ax! No one told me the great Orion was insane."

In the post-cataclysmic realm of what was once Southern Utah, dwarfs now greatly outnumber the "oversized" humans, who are too often hunted and slaughtered as ineducable savages by the new majority. But Orion questions this. He leaves his home and his community behind in Middle Village and sets out on a quest of personal discovery, as well as to search for an intriguing oversized woman that he's seen traveling alone through the wilderness, where New World survival can be difficult.

In the tradition of literature's greatest heroes and journeys, Dwarf Days challenges modern notions of courage, determination, and justice and asks us all to take a look at the values we hold dear.
