Okay, I bought "Wandor's Voyage" back in high school and then bought all the rest, (including "Wandor's Flight") as quickly as I found them. I have loved this series since day one and I still do. I am still hopeful of someday reading "Wandor's Battle".

Since this is the fourth book in the storyline, one can tell that the author needed a break from the characters. Mr. Green's writing, although vastly entertaining, was starting to seem somewhat strained in maintaining the reader's interest. Since almost 16 years have passed since I first read this book, it is my profound hope that Mr. Green will finish this series up in spectacular fashion and also revisit the "Peace Company" series. (All titles of which I also have in my library)

The story begins with Wandor and his wife celebrating his Father-in-law's birthday. After news of a visiting diplomatic envoy's proposals arrives, the stage is set for Wandor to begin seeking his fourth crown.

Read the series in sequence for fullest enjoyment. Don't forget the snack foods and beverages, these stories, although not the meat and potato level of his Peace Company series, are still a blast on a rainy weekend afternoon!

I've read the four Wandor books and want to see Wandor 'Battle'. I found the series to be as readable as Eddings' Belgariad, if not as funny, and want to see Wandor finish off the Black Duke.

I too have had the series for years, and have always wished to know if Wandor ever gained the fifth crown. Also can understand why it wasn't finished, but do regret that it was not. Do you suppose I would have forgotten about it if I had known the ending?

This is the fourth in the series that brought us the character "Wandor". Wandor is the youngist "Master of the House of Duelists" on record. He also follows his own version of the boy scout motto. In the first book, Wandor starts out on a mission. This mission is nothing less that to re-establish the fallen kingdom of the "Five Crowned King." His motivation is that he is the heir of this kingdom. The guardian of the mountain sets him an exciting and exacting list of things that he must do. I found the first of the series exciting and intriguing.

In the process of staying alive he starts to accomplish the tasks appointed to him. He does this by the skin of his teeth, and with the able help of the military knowledge of the author.

By the time this book arrives, Wandor is almost through the list of appointed tasks and both he and the author are pretty well tired of the subject. I stuck it out in the hopes that the story would come to a conclusion and Wandor could live happily ever after with his wife, friends and assorted stuff he has had to collect.

Mr. Green, I understand why you never wrote "Wandor's Battle" which was promised to be "Coming Soon" in 1981. I was happy to read your Starship Shenandoah series.

Wandor's Battle when? Sword of Artos - it might be a place. Also the baby could be twins - he and she.
