Demonstorm (Legend of the Raven 4) (Paperback)

~ James Barclay (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Review

'Demonstorm brings James Barclay's Legends of the Raven to a rip-roaing close. If non-stop action, blood and guts is your thing, look no further.' -- STARBURST "Domonstorm shatters the concept of 'comfort fantasy'. It's an intense, unsettling story. The strength of the human spirit and the dangers of self-doubt feature most prominently, adding a welcome depth to so much death and destruction." -- Sandy Auden SFX magazine

Product Description

THIS IS THE END ...The dragons have gone home, the elves are safe. The Raven have kept their promises. But fate has not finished with them. As the war between the colleges rages on an old enemy senses that his chance to revenge a bitter defeat has come. Tessaya, Lord of the Paleon Tribes has waited patiently for his moment and now, with Balaia in flames, he makes his move and unleashes the Wesmen hordes. In Xetesk, his forces scattered, Dystran, Lord of the Mount faces certain defeat by the Wesmen unless he unleashes the horrfying power of dimensional magics. And Dystran has not come this far to be beaten at the last by a rabble of ignorant tribesmen. And so the veil between dimensions is torn ...And beyond, a predatory evil stirs. Demons catch the scent of countless souls in Balaia. Can even the Raven prevail when the world is coming to an end? A fantasy milestone is reached. James Barclay brings his sensational saga of The Raven to a heartsopping conclusion.

What is worse than a wizard war and invasion by a barbarian horde? Yep, all Hell breaking loose.


With the magic necessary to prevent the Wesmen from taking over anything those reckless magic types of Balaia have again ripped a big ol' new one where they should not have. In this case, the hole allows demons access to their world, and a desperate, sacrificial holding action has to be maintained by what magical leaders are left to give the Raven a chance to get out and do something about it. Tense and exciting action to be had, yet again.

Whoever came up with this title should give lessons to the Elfsorrow person.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great story teller, November 10, 2005

By	Bernard J. D. Polarski (Brussels) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

James Barclay is definetly a good story teller with a lot of imagination. If you loved RR.martin, you will love Barclay. I did not regret any cent that I spent on his books. I cannot say the same thing about the lasts of D.Edding, F.Feist or R.Jordan. There is a new generation of Fantasy author like Greg Keyes, James Barclay that deserved to be followed.
