Book Description

October 1, 1996 Exiles Saga
Part One Of The Exiles Saga

In the peaceful land of Ket-Ta-Witko, the People have lived for generations in harmony, kept from trouble by their Seers' guiding dreams. But not even those talents are proof against the powers of love and love thwarted. When a blood feud escalates into violence, the People find themselves beset by a race of implacable demons, intent on destroying everything they hold dear. And their one chance at redemption lies worlds away, in the harsh and dismal prison colony of Salvation, where a tavern girl, a gambler, and a young boy with the forbidden talent for True Dreaming have been unjustly accused and bound into a lifetime of servitude. Individually, they are helpless. Together, they may alter the future forever.


Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Morrhyn, high chief in a land that smacks strongly of Celtic Wales, has his problems. The rivalry of two young men for one young woman has set the suitors' clans to feuding, a neighboring tribe is under demonic assault, and the only ones who may be able to help seem to be three outlaws fleeing a prison colony. Wells' new yarn straddles the boundary between sf and fantasy, albeit with plenty of action, solid prose, and intelligent characterization. He reminds us of David Eddings or David Duncan in his talent for achieving high readability through skilled use of classic fantasy elements on a large canvas. He also manages to flavor this story with the auras of other worlds he has created in previous works, though without requiring of the reader any knowledge of his other books. The plot development here neither precludes nor requires a sequel; in any event, if this becomes a trilogy, it shouldn't be a bad one. Roland Green --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars excelent story..but, April 6, 2000
This review is from: Exile's Children (Exiles Saga) (Mass Market Paperback)
Angus is a good story teller, I have read several of his books. Exile was the first. Angus creates wonderful characters, colorful lands, and terrifying enemies. In Exile, he takes a slice of american colonial life, and drops it off in a fantasy world. there are nomadic tribes, and a rich "civilized" land. The book follows the course of these tow groups of people. This is where I had a problem with the book. Angus has always been a little long winded for my tastes. And he will devote several chapters to one set of characters, then jumps back to the others, who you have nearly forgotten. This is very annoying for me, as i prefer that the switch be made more often, after every two chapters or so. Just a personal preferance, but I warn you about it.
