Demon of Undoing is many things. It's a SF book masquerading as fantasy, a book about the conflicts of honor and desire, a book about Law and Chaos, a book about best friends. _Demon_ has so many memorable lines and scenes that I can't possibly list even a fraction of them here. When I picked up this book in a convinience store, I had no idea I would end up reading it 18 times (so far.) I emphasized with the semi-pariah Fenobar; I loved the Imirkairans' fear and loathing of the 'Demon,' human space colonist Sig. I drank in the legend of their quest to bring the Axe of Monghan, Fenobar's tribe's totem, to safety; I smiled at the surprising humanity of the relationship between Fenobar and Sig, in a world where honor is paramount and any sign of weakness a sin. I say the following without reserve, without hesitation: I have read many fantasy and SF books, by such famed authors as Tolkien, Donaldson, Jordan, Asimov, Heinlein, and Dick; _Demon of Undoing_ stands equal with any of them, and is by far the most fun, most memorable, and most liked book in my sizeable collection.

This is a Great Book. I would love to see another to continue the story! But as she was miss-treated by the publishers, this may not be likely. After this book was published, they said she had to GHOST write for several of their big name authors, BEFORE they would think about a second for her. I personally have read three copys to death, and have two Vacume packed to preserve them.

"Demon of Undoing" was one of the most enjoyable stories I've ever read and one of the few that I look forward to reading over again. I can only hope that this will not turn into a 'one-hit wonder', since I have never seen Alton's name again on the shelves. It would be wonderful to read the continuing story of Sig and Fenobar, especially since Sig still needs to find his way home.

I first read this book because it came highly recommended by my older sister...... I have continued to re-read it over the years because it is one of the most enjoyable books I have ever had the pleasure and good fortune to pick up.

Very believable world. Main character overcomes hugh odds and befriends a demon of undoing. I'd recommend this book to anyone. When is Andrea going to write another one?

I really enjoyed reading this book. After I finished I rushed to the local book store looking for the next book in what I thought was a series, no luck. This book left me craving for more, I have re-read "Demon of Undoing" 10 times.

It was an okay book I suppose. It sagged during the middle. I am in Andrea's fiction writers support group, and she is not a very nice person. She puts others down, so that may have cast a shadow over it for me.
