In tennis there are 7 ways to hold a tennis racquet, in reality, only three of them are mainly used. The first one is called the Continental grip(pictures 1-3). Place your hand in a way such that the base knuckle of the index finger is right on the first bevel.
Badlands is a scorched zone and the home of the Earthen, Dark Iron Dwarves, and Goblins in Fuselight-by-the-Sea. A level 40-60 contested zone.
Badlands is being billed as the third part in the Highway Quartet. It works as a stand alone too but centers on a character first introduced in the Highway. There is a thin plot thread from that book which will lead us to book 4, but Badlands is really a novel about the police department in a fracking boomtown in North Dakota that runs across a gang that wants to control drugs in the town.
