5.0 out of 5 stars
In a class by itself,
By A Customer
This review is from: Darwath Trilogy-3 Vol. (Boxed) (Loose Leaf)
Two people from our world, a biker named Rudy and a history scholar named Gil, are drawn into another people's struggle for survival by Ingold, a wizard from another universe.There, mysterious creatures known as the Dark hunt mankind as there natural prey.Perhaps even more dangerous than the Dark is the political infighting of these people's Church and state as both are impotent to provide a true solution.The only ones who might be able to save man are the wizards, feared or misunderstood by most ordinary people, hated as evil by the church,and considered a double-edged sword by the ruling powers that be. The characters are very realistic and the storyline is seamless and full of surprises and twists that are done in a very unaffected manner.It's almost like the story really happened and Hambly is merely relating,rather than creating. Just don't get too far into book three unless you have time to read to the end, because you won't want to put it down.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A great fantasy with a show stopper ending,
By A Customer
This review is from: Darwath Trilogy-3 Vol. (Boxed) (Loose Leaf)
Published in the early eighties, this series is easily one of the classics of the field.
Barbara Hambly practices the martial arts, and this lends considerable reality to her depictions of combat. The magic system rocks. The primary plot, two ordinary people in our real life world are contacted by someone in the fantasy world and are drawn into the action via interdimensional travel, while still fresh when these books came out, has been duplicated so often in so many ways since then, that some people might feel it is just one more story in a sub-genre of fantasy that is already overloaded. Well, I say, go and read these books.
