Product Description
Chaos's evil shadow sweeps over Krynn

During the hottest summer in memory, minotaurs fight against the Knights of Takhisis, into whose hands their god Sargonnas has delivered them. In the midst of the conflict, the armies of Chaos plunge into the heart of Ansalon.

Now the minotaur warrior Aryx must unite his people and their enemy, the knights, against the monstrous servants of Chaos. If he succeeds, the two sides may forge a bond that will change Krynn for all time.

If he fails, then they will all perish.

Richard Knaac, author of the New York Times best-selling The Legend of Huma, tells this thrilling tale of the minotaurs of Krynn in the time of the Chaos War.

4.0 out of 5 stars Knaak writes another great one!, August 4, 1999
By A Customer
Knaak has always been one of my favorite Dragonlance authors ever since I read the Legend of Huma. His latest tale of the minotaurs does not feature Kaz but his descendent Aryx. Aryx is an impressive character, but instead of developing, he constantly acted as the reluctant hero. This was a little annoying. Also there are a few parts that really drag. But what I liked was that Knaak unlike other authors in the series, he gives us new creatures. The crustacean creatures are very cool and interesting. I was glad when I found out it wasn't just going to be another book where the heroes would fight fire dragons and shadow wraiths(That was getting boring after four books of it). Other authors should learn from Knaak's creativity. Instead of sticking to the same formula, Dragonlance authors should expand their imagination in the world of Krynn. Knaak is truly one of the best, keep um comming Richard.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Dragonlance "Saving Private Ryan", September 16, 2003
Richard Knaak is a great storyteller. He knows how to keep the reader glued to the story and Reavers of the Blood Sea is a great example.

The characters are well fleshed out, and you can really understand why they feel the way they do when peculiar events take place.

The hero of the story, Aryx, is happy being a hired hand on a minotaur ship when he suddenly finds himself wrapped up with dark knights, Gods, war, political unrest, ominous horrors, and the possible destruction of his planet. What's a minotaur to do?

This book is not for the faint of heart. Unlike other Dragonlance novels, the battle scenes here are numerous and as graphic as they can get. I was reminded of Saving Private Ryan, but this book goes even further.

The portrayal of Sargonnas alone makes this book a worthy read. This is a good book, with a thrilling climax. Brace yourself for battle, and top notch adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best dragonlance books I've read, January 16, 2000
By Jamil Salaam (Colorado Springs, Colorado) - See all my reviews
When I first saw this book I thought it wasn't going to be that good but there wasn't a moment when I thought it was boring. I couldn't put it down and I almost read the entire book straight. If you're looking for a good dragonlance book then this is definetly it.

3.0 out of 5 stars The rise of a hero with a twist. Nice but just too slow.
