This book is the third and final book of the Three Worlds trilogy. In this book, Pellinore Brown, now known as Pelburn the Brown Magician, is determined to use the matrix magic of Shadow to resurrect his wife and daughter. This is a terribly complex undertaking, and he requires a good deal of time to master the matrix magic. But, time is something that he may not have, and before he knows it, Pel finds himself at war with the Galactic Empire. It's blasters versus sorcery, and Pel has the magic of an entire universe at his command. Pel seems to hold all the cards, but what will this war cost him?

I must start out by saying that I am a big fan of Lawrence Watt-Evans, and was enthralled by his Three Worlds trilogy. I enjoyed the way that the author constructed his three universes, and then wove them together. This book is something of a departure from the other two. Shadow is dead at the beginning of this book, and you might be lulled into thinking that not much is left to happen. But, in fact the author does do a great job of maintaining the drama and suspense right up to the end.

As for me, I absolutely loved this book! I loved the setting, I found the story to be engaging, and the characters enjoyable. This is another great Lawrence Watt-Evans series, and I highly recommend it to you!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the first two books in this series, but the final one was a bit of a let-down for me. A lot of it near the end is rather tedious. Still, worth reading.

All of Lawrence Watt-Evans books are wonderful. Please print these in hardcover though!!! I hope somebody is listening out there.
