The Hos-Blethan Affair is the seventh book in the Kalvan Saga, created by H. Beam Piper, and a sidebar novel, chronicling the adventures of Duke Skranga, Ranthar Jard, Gasphros and company as they attempt to destabilize the Kingdom of Hos-Bletha and keep its forces for supporting the Grand Host of Styphon for its attack on Hos-Hostigos. This volume takes place right after Kalvan Kingmaker and at the same time as Siege of Tarr-Hostigos.
After their military losses in Hos-Harphax, Styphon’s House uses their influence to gather the greatest army in the history of the Five Great Kingdoms. It’s time to put an end to the Usurper Kalvan’s rule in Hos-Hostigos. The Grand Host of Styphon will be led by Captain-General Phidestros and Grand Master Soton of the Zarthani Knights. This time Styphon’s House means business!
Upon learning of this new threat, Great King Kalvan dispatches his Chief of Intelligence and Colonel Democriphon with a team of trusted lieutenants to try and subvert the Kingdom of Hos-Bletha; thereby forcing Great King Niclophon to keep his troops at home. As the Grand Host of Styphon’s House gathers in Harphax Town to assemble their great army, it is up to Duke Skranga to see that the Blethans stay in Hos-Bletha.
When Skranga and his band arrive in Hos-Bletha, they begin a guerilla action to take Niclophon out of the war. Basing their tactics on Kalvan’s tales about Robin Hood and some improvised madness of their own, the incarnation of Galzar, the band of Hostigi brothers creates havoc throughout the Kingdom as they target Styphon’s House temples and rich merchants. But, will this enough to keep Great King Niclophon and his army pinned down in Hos-Bletha?

Robin Hood rides again!
By C. A. Temm
The latest book in the Paratime series created by H. Beam Piper and lovingly carried on by John F Carr and friends is the Hos Blethan Affair.
Taking place before the onslaught of Styphon's Grand Host into Hos Hostigos, the story involves a Lord Kalvan idea to pull forces out of said Host by creating havoc in other kingdoms. Sending a team into the southernmost Great Kingdom of Hos Bletha, Kalvin's men recreate the legend of Robin Hood and use that to build forces to overthrow to try and overthrow the despotic king there.
The new team of Carr/Diehr work well and the depth of the book shows it. Tactics, weapons, the character development are alive, new folks are added and old ones see changes that only makes them better. As is usual for this series, one sees good people even on the "bad side" caught by duty and honor to fight for a cause that is less than stellar. This episode was alluded to in earlier Kalvan of Otherwhen books and now we see it fleshed out.
My chief complaint is the one of terrain/distance. Florida is not a place where one can move fast or w/heavy wagons in a period of unimproved roads/trails. As in the other Kalvan books, forces move too fast for reality. Also I seriously doubt that the water table would allow serious dry moat/cellar creation.
But those are minor. Mr Carr had some health issues and got the book out later than promised but the wait was worth it. Reading the other books is not necessary (tho helpful at times) as this one can stand alone quite well.
Congrats on this continuation of a grand series and the creation of a good writing team. It keeps the interest high and stokes the hope for the next one to hurry up!
Down Styphon!

Not a smart move to try to shove a book into the already existing timeline. Buyer, prepare yourself.
By David Wilkin
While the continuation of the Kalvan series, first by Carr and Green, then Carr alone has been a very pleasurable experience, here with Diehr, there is some backtracking and because of that a good deal of confusion with the writing on occasion. Perhaps because Diehr has added his input into the series.
We jump back a few books from where Carr had last left off and rewrite history because of it. And then without much aid Kalvan sends his team out to do something that is poorly defined hoping for the best. We then see several solutions put into motion. The plots of Robin Hood stolen, Guerrilla Warfare, and the hidden prince pollen, though the ending repercussions clearly change events that we already have read in the three previous books. Heroes here are now stuck in Hos-Bletha when before we knew them to be elsewhere in Kalvan's world, aiding him directly to fight Styphon, especially once Kalvan starts losing and retreats from the East to the middle.
That costs Mr Carr a star in my estimation, and despite several copyeditors a few typos and naming conventions that should have been caught, some on the same page, (A Baron is then made a Count, and then a Duke, and then back to a Baron all within the same page)
This might have worked, but someone didn't think overall how best to do this. Skranga a beloved character who is in charge, ends up twiddling his thumbs for months doing nothing. Skranga if one follows this from the first would never have nothing to do. As do some of the other characters that Carr and Diehr have brought on stage. Sometimes our characters are holding onto the tigers tale but that tiger is dragging them all over the South. Then time scale is another thing not well thought out when our heroes have built a town and planted fields that will be fruitful far too swiftly in the worst time to farm.
The story is a fun read, but Carr crammed the square peg in a round hole and did not think it through far too many times in this tale. One that is not finished in the books that he already had written that cause the calendar to advance by a few years. So what really happens to Hos-Bletha and it's own civil war now in those three books? Do we get 2nd editions of them as well? That I think is something readers of the series need to be aware of, and that Carr needs to address as well.

A fleshed-out side plot in the overall "Lord Kalvan sequels" story arc
By Catherine A. McClarey
This installment in John F. Carr's series of "Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen" sequels covers a side plot to the main story arc following Kalvan and his followers in Hos-Hostigos & Hos-Harphax (later Nos-Hostigos, the Middle Kingdoms, and parts of the northern Great Kingdoms). Kalvan's chief spymaster, Duke Skranga, together with a maverick Hos-Hostigi officer best suited to independent commands, are sent down to Hos-Bletha to cause as much mischief as they can down there, with the aim of preventing Hos-Bletha from contributing any troops to the Grand Host the Styphoni are expected to send against Hos-Hostigos eventually. This book's plot overlaps the events of Kalvan Kingmaker and Siege of Tarr-Hostigos (or is it Fall of Tarr-Hostigos? I've read both the novella and full-novel-size versions of this, and I tend to get their titles mixed up), with the insurrectionists in Hos-Bletha out of contact with Hos-Hostigos -- so this book has a fairly successful conclusion (but with the looming disaster coming to Hos-Hostigos lurking just offstage, for those who have read those other books).
I enjoyed this installment of the "Lord Kalvan sequels" series, although what I would really like to see would be a sequel (or 2 at the most) which would bring the overall plotline to a (hopefully) triumphant conclusion, with the "good guys" winning, the exiled Hostigi at least having the option to return to the old Hos-Hostigos and rebuild, and all of the side plots in various parts of the Great Kingdoms & Middle Kingdoms both communicating with the main plot and winding up themselves. The copy-editing seems somewhat improved in this volume from that in previous "Lord Kalvan" sequels (although I still think Mr. Carr could still use the services of a proper copy editor for all of these books, just to clean up the grammar & punctuation). An exciting treat for fans of this series!
