This review is from: The Asutra (Durdane Trilogy, Bk. 3) (Paperback)

Why do people always relate on the Tchai saga? This Durdane adventure reveals all the richness of Jack Vances' talent.Follow the driven heroe in his colourfull encounters: people, beasts, behaviors, with the "stranger in a strange land" feeling. It's not just "science fiction".

This review is from: The Asutra (Durdane, 3) (Hardcover)

This is the only Durdane book I've read so far, unfortunately they seem to be out of print. It's a typical Vance book; Our hero has strange and resourceful travelling companions. He acts on impulse at critical junctions and saves the day? It's a fast paced book, entertaining and engrossing.

WOW, what a stunning conclusion to the "Durdane Trilogy." Although the ending was somewhat anti-climactic, this is an extraordinary story from the master in this genre. The premise of the storyline is masked until the end of the first book and becomes more apparent in the next two sequels and believe me it's startling and unique. What a journey, absolutely wonderful...
