Product Description
But, the beast-man, scorned and hunted, knows,
Without honor there is nothing, not even death.
So, driven by the only ghosts that matter, Huma and himself, Kaz alone faces the scourge.

After the defeat of the Dark Queen and the death of Huma Dragonbane, the most famous of the Knights of Solamnia, Kaz, the renegade minotaur, wanders throught Krynn, telling the true tale of the land's most legendary hero, stalked by his enemies -- a haunted soul, an outcast, a hero. But when Kaz hears rumors of evil incidents, he returns to warn the Knights of Solamnia -- and is plunged into a dark nightmare of magic, danger and deja-vu.

5.0 out of 5 stars An epic work in an epic world, May 4, 2000

By	Dylan Headley (USA) - See all my reviews

This book (the sequel to The Legend of Huma) is truely an excellent conclusion to Knaak's series. It is about the fantasy world of Krynn from the best-selling Dragonlance novels, as seen through the eyes of Huma's companion Kaz. A minotaur exiled from his homeland, he travels in the world of humans who fear him. This tale is about adventure and life, but above all, honor. I strongly recommend all fans of the fantasy genre read these two books, it does not get any better.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lasting hero, March 7, 2002

By	D. Pachal (WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Kaz, the Minotaur by Richard Knaak is a worthy sequal to the smash 'The legend of Huma'. Richard has a writing style that is fun and interesting to read, and he rates close to Wies and Hickman themselves with his talent. This book is no exception. It is filled with a wonderful storyline that sweeps you away into Kaz's world in the years following the first Dragonwar. Huma is now 5 years dead, and Kaz still feels that he could have done something to help the Knight to destroy Takhisis. For a Minotaur, he has a strong sense of loyalty and is steadfast in his beliefs. This book starts with Kaz running from another band of Minotaurs who are intent on taking him back to their homeland where Kaz is charged with being dishonerable and treasonous. His kender companion, Delbin, keeps this story funny and exciting the whole way through. This book is an absolute must for any dragonlance fan. It sheds must needed light on Kaz, and the pains and struggles he goes through after the death of Huma Dragonbane. This book is definately worth the read. A must!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book by a great author., July 7, 2001

By	Sherry Goebel "psiluvu" (CA) - See all my reviews

This book was written extremely well and was a great book to follow The Legend of Huma. The Delbin and Kaz relation adds a lot to this book. Kaz's enemies are interesting to read about as well. It also answered some of my questions that I had from The Land of Minotaurs; which were mainly questions about Scurn and his relationship with some of the other minotaurs. Richard Knaak is my favorite author in the DL series because he is the one that is always writing about my favorite race, the minotaurs. Weis and Hickman are his only equals in the DL series.
