Carter has done some great space opera, some exciting series in the sword&sandal genre. This tries. It takes place on a dying Earth, millenia hence. A mighty hero with an origin and a destiny clouded in mystery strides the world. He teams up with a timeless wizard, an eager lad, a warrior-cat, and, well, it hardly matters. Somehow, the toings and froings, saving this city and vanquishing that horde, never engage me. Plot? Well, since most events could be taken in any order, I'd call it a series of isolated episodes rather than a developing sequence of events. And all that mystery around Silvermane just has no effect on anything that takes place.

I guess Carter needed the money. I really like a lot of his other work, including the Green Star and Callisto series. I just won't be coming back to this one.
