Acts Of Caine

Not an epic fantasy in your traditional sense, but one of the most underrated series out there starring the brutal amoral assassin, Caine. This is a series that holds nothing back: it's brutal and uncompromising the entire way through. With an interesting blend of science-fiction and fantasy combined with an absolutely amoral psychopathic killer as the star of the whole show (literally, Caine the killer is in fact a movie star beamed to another dimension to wreak murder and induce mayhem among the local population for the entertainment of billions back home), it's an absolutely must read, especially if you like anti-hero fantasy where there is no defined moral compass. Every book in the now four part series (with more likely to come) is good with no dip in  quality.This series is one of my absolute favorites, and it's a crime that the author and the series are not as well-known as they should be. If you want something different that's so tasty you'll practically cry with delight, read.The series is a bit uneven, however. The first book is fabulous, the second merely great. The last two books are merely just good.
