4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent out-of-print beauty, July 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Shifter (The Chronicles of Galen Sword, #1) (Paperback)

It seems a shame that this book has gone out of print, as it is one of the best fansy novels I have read. It seamlessly combines reality with the paralell to create a spooky and creative werewolf story. Garfield and Judith Reeves-Stevens also made a nice twist because it isn't one of those "good guys win" books. Not to say that the bad guys do, but...read the book, you'll see what I mean.J

Galen Sword is searching for entrance back to the First World, home to vampires, shifters, elementals, and...other...things. Although he was born to this realm, Sword was banished as a child, due to a lack of inherent magical talent. Assisted by a hostile mechanical expert, a paralyzed genius, and a young halfling girl with unusual abilities, he seeks to find his family in the face of opposition more than capable and fully willing to eliminate him.

Now, he's found that shapeshifters are real, and may hold the key to his success. He must infiltrate their ranks at a time when they are strongest. He's willing to risk it all - but will he emerge from what promises to be the biggest challenge of his life?
