An Exploration of the Nature of Humanity,
By
This review is from: Aldair: The Legion of Beasts (Paperback)
This is the fourth novella of the Aldair tetralogy. The first three books are "Aldair in Albion," "Aldair, Master of Ships," and "Aldair Across the Misty Sea." In the series Barrett explores the nature of humanity as he traces the exploits of Aldair, who seeks after truth and knowledge. In the first book Aldair, quite against his will, embarks upon an Oddyssey of discovery in which he traces his ancestry all the way back to the fabled Isle of Albion. When he learns the sobering truth of whence he came, he must continue the quest until he at last discovers the why and how, and most importantly, the what next. The first few books in a series are usually best, and the Aldair saga is no exception. When we get to "Aldair: the Legion of Beasts" quality has hit bottom, but readers of the first three books will want to know how it all turns out. The conclusion is not completely satisfactory, and the epilogue looks like the sequel hook for a fifth novella that never came to fruition. If Barrett ever writes the fifth book, I'll supply him with at least one buyer.
