This book inspired the creation of a computer role playing game called The Witcher that PC Gamer Magazine awarded the RPG of the year back in 2007. Normally it's the other way around, a great game inspires a tie in novel. The book concerns a Witcher, a medieval monster slayer and his misadventures.

I was a bit reluctant being this book was a translation from Poland. My fears were put asunder when I began reading it, and soon into it, I was completely taken in. I'm looking forward to more work by A. Sapkowski, and I'm thrilled that The Witcher 2 is coming out within the next two months. Highly recommend reading this book and then playing the game. Or do as I did, play the game, then stumble upon this book and marvel at how much the two complement each other.
