Editorial Reviews

Product Description
At eighteen, Maquesta Kar-Thon has just volunteered to captain the Perechon for a quest with a high stake -- her father's life.

The minotaur lord Attat has giver her father a slow-acting poison, and is withholding the antidote until Maq captures the deadly sea monster Morkoth for his private zoo. To accompany her on this voyage, Attat sends along the renegade minotaur Bas Ohn-Koraf and a shadowperson warrior, Ilyatha.

As the Perechon races to complete its quest, it is beset by pirates, attacked by Blood Sea imps, and tangles with kuo-toa. Maq must not only fight these enemies but prove herself to the Perechon crew.

Through it all, the image of her dying father bears down on her.

The Warriors series details the exploits of the heroes and villains of the War of the Lance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Reading!, January 14, 2000

By A Customer

This was a wonderful book that took me far away from my every day life and threw me into the mouth of a giant octopus! Mixed with an emotional battle bettween a young woman fighting for the life of her father and a minotaur lord who has an obssesion with strange creatures it is a book I would recommend to every one. Just a little touch of romance adds the right key. If you are looking for the perfect adventure book this is the one for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Why Maquesta? Why not?, April 4, 2005

This is one of the best DragonLance books I have ever read. I have been reading this series since the seventh grade and have read at least 45 books, and this has been one of the most dazzling books of the series. The truth is, a lot of the DragonLance characters get very boring and repetive after a while. Most authors use the same characters, elves, knights, humans, dwarves, and kender in their books. It is always the same group of people based on the group from the original Trilogy. Maquesta Kar-Thon provides new faces, new races, and a new story to the series. I loved the original characters and colorful ride, plus the fact that this is the first and probably only story where there are no kender characters.
What also is nice about this story is that it can be read outside of the series and the reader can still understand what is going on. The book does not completely rely the full DragonLance background and the casual reader can sit down and enjoy this book to its fullest potential without becoming confused.

3.0 out of 5 stars Well...., December 2, 2001

I had 2 gripes with this book.
1. For some reason, I couldn't get as involved as I would've liked. Except for the 6 truely horrible DL books I've read, I usually get drawn into these books.
2. The chapters are PAINFULLY long. There are only about 15 chapters. I don't like to stop in the middle of chapters & with this book, you pretty much have to.
