This review is from: The War of Powers (Mass Market Paperback)

This review is for Volumes one & two of The War Of Powers.

The story begins with Fost Longstrider a space-courier being assigned the task of delivering a parcel, unbknownst to Fost the parcel contains a jug and in jug the spirit of a thousand year old spirit called Erimines The Ethical who is supposed to know the secret of imortality, now Erimines was when he was alive a prophet of some fame, always speaking that physical pleasure was a sin, after a thousand years of being stuck in a jug the only thing the spirit can think of is the pleasures he missed when he was alive.

As Fost delivers the parcel he descovers the man who the parcel was for dead, at a lost at what to do he head mack to his city, along the way Fost meets Priness Moriana who be druging Fost managed to steal the jug contaning the spirit taking it back to her sky city, when Fost wakes up he start his persuit.

And this persuit leads Fost into a war with demons and the evil sister of Moriana and her sky warriors. This series of books are great, plenty of action and adventure with a great cast of characters, my personal favourite is Erimines, his one liners are quit amazing, I couldn't stop laughing.

A great series well worth reading!!
