5.0 out of 5 stars A great purchase, great book, little money, July 2, 1999

By A Customer

If you play the RPG, this book it's an excellent element for your campaign, and if you don't, please don't hesitate BUY IT NOW!!.I read the spanish version (I'm from Argentina) and i think it's one of the best books I have ever read. Also the entire saga of Pent Prism books is just great.

3.0 out of 5 stars Kind of slow..., July 9, 2008

By	Michael Valdivielso (Alexandria, VA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

The big problem with this book is that we focus totally on Rikus and the battle to save Tyr against the armies of Urik. His army, a ragtag mixture of former slaves, templars, and nobles, is interesting, but the infighting becomes a drag. There are battles after battles yet it seems that the action seems to slow down the plot, as the characters don't get a chance to develop. Frankly, I almost skipped to the third book. It feels almost like Troy Denning let somebody else write the second book and then just slapped his name onto the cover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome plot, it really shows what DS is like, September 27, 1998

By A Customer

From the beginning I was hooked. This book is full of action and high powered adventure. It takes you through the rollercoaster ride of the greatest hero in DS, Rikus of Tyr. He is a true hero and I admire him and his courage. As one of my favorite all time boos. I highly reccomend it to anyone who likes high adventure and fantasy.
