I had it at one time - another "fantasy heartbreaker" IMNSHO.  There were actually three books in the line, Basic Rulebook, Advanced Rulebook and a Magic Book.  No Monster Stats what-so-ever...I'm thinking they planned a Monster Book.  I believe the "reviews" on the back of the books claimed "...even a dagger can be deadly to high level characters."

From the back cover:

"... a world of gritty, low-fantasy roleplaying, where even mighty warriors fear a knife in the back"

"Fantasy earth" features:

a realistic yet playable combat system; skills count heavily, but all characters are vulnerable

an experience system designed to compliment role-playing rather than interfere with it

etc...
