Product Description
The end is near!

Phyrexian plagues and shock troops have taken their toll. The final stage of the invasion has begun, and the dark lord Yawgmoth himself plans to cross over into Dominaria to claim his prize. With time running out, the battered heroes’ last hope to save their home lies in an ancient, untested weapon, a jumble of artifacts known as the Legacy.

Bear witness to the apocalypse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Woohoo!, September 21, 2001

By	MAgic Emperor Johan (Tolaria! (Kidding! Singapore)) - See all my reviews

Once again, King does a superb job. Easily one of the best books ever released, Apocalypse is a good buy. As a Magic player, I can see where the flavour text from the cards is incorporated into the book. Whether or not you play Magic, or whether or nor you like fantasy stories, the Invasion cycle will definitely sate your appetite for books.

4.0 out of 5 stars On its own an amazing book, as part of the whole- lacking!, August 4, 2001

By	Yassar Raja "y_raja" (CANADA) - See all my reviews

I have read this whole series from the begining of the brothers war. I have followed these characters through thousands of years of story and development, and although this book is amazing on its own, put together with the rest, it really does lack- it doesnt do justice to the epic story before it.

Things are rushed and the story goes by and ends rather quickly. It ruined the flow of the whole series and easily dissapoints with its hollow ending. At the same time, the characters and situations have flow from previous books and yet dont. It is very confusing- and at the same time everything comes together. Actually a lot come together, but i fee like they have smushed 2 books into one, it would have been better to have this the 3rd book - and then end it all in a final fourth book, a first 4th book in the whole series. That is how epic this story truely is!
