Description
The Junior Novelization is an abridged retelling of the events of Honor Among Thieves, covering roughly the first half of the movie, that is, from Edgin and Holga's time at Revel's End to the retrieval of the Helmet of Disjunction from the ruins of Dolblunde and the battle with Themberchaud. It is based on an earlier version of the script than what was filmed, as indicated by variations in a number of lines and by a number of lines and scenes cut from the movie. The prose style is sparse and perfunctory.
