[[Retired Badass|Harald Haraldsson]], farmer, sometime commander of the allied armies, and the best storyteller in the Northvales, has a problem. For thirty years, the [[The Kingdom|Kingdom of Kaerlia]], [[Amazon Brigade|the Order]], and the Vales have together held back [[The Empire]]. Now the king who forged that alliance is dead. His heir, preferring subjects to allies, is trying to seize control of the Order. Its Lady Commander has vanished.
 
Line 8:
But wars are not won only by fighting, even the best infantry in the world has to eat and drink, Harald has a lot of friends, and a story, sometimes, is more useful than a sword.
 
''[[Harald]]'' is the first fictional novel by famous [[Anarchy|Anarchist]]-[[Society for Creative Anachronism|anachronist]]-[[Useful Notes/Economics|economist]] David Director Friedman and published by Baen Books. As the author puts it, ''Harald'' is 'a fantasy without magic' or 'an alternate history with invented history'. It is notable for featuring wars of logistics as much as battles.
