This is the 5th insgsamt book from the Crossroads series and truly not bad. The Crossroads series represents - is a stand-alone novel series that will bring you closer to the reader the different regions of the Dragonlance world - for all who should not know. In this case, the story of the village of Nowhere, which is suppressed by a gang maraudierender blackmailer. Looking for a solution, the villagers recruited a number of different mercenaries who then try in a concerted effort to save the village. This story sounds truly not new - is not you. Such stories have you seen dozens in Western (or comedies - see the three amigos with Steve Martin). Still not a bad story, because the setting was fitted very loving. Every Dragonlance fan can recommend this book. All others can be said: There are also better.
