Product Description
Secrets of the past.

Although Raistlin and Caramon urge him not to go, Sturm Brightblade attends an annual Solamnic ceremony that is interrupted by . . .

A stranger, taunting challenge. Clues from the past. Death.

Once he accepts a mysterious gauntlet, young Sturm must make a dangerous journey with some curious friends, rescue a fair if querulous maid, defeat a traitor knight, and learn the secret fate of his long-lost father. He must also learn the meaning of honor.

The fourth installment in the popular Meetings Sextet tells the story of Sturm Brightblade, the noble Solamnic Knight, in the years before Sturm joined up with the other companions of the best-selling Dragonlance series.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Green Man Commeth, March 30, 2003
I have mixed feelings about this book. This story makes Sturm look stupid and brash, which perhaps he was in his youth, but his character in this book is a far cry from the man we later meet in the Chronicles series. The storytelling, however, was really enthralling. Michael Williams' forest imagery was fantastic and reminded me of some of the great imagery in the Chronicles and War of the Souls books. He also gave depth to his characters and pulled some surprises that I didn't expect. I find this to be most interesting because I didn't like Weasel's Luck and Galen Beknighted by the same author mostly because I thought that his characters, even the main ones, lacked depth. I recommend reading this book if for no other reason than because there is a giant, friendly spider who's entire existence turns out to be quite ironic. Okay, that's not really a good reason. Read it or not, it doesn't really matter. I don't think you will learn much about the overall Dragonlance storyline from this book, but it is kind of an interesting read all the same.

3.0 out of 5 stars too green...., March 23, 2000
By Tats Calleway (Pennsylvania , USA) - See all my reviews
the word "green" comes to mind when discussing the fourth installment of the widely popular albeit sumtimes disappointing (try the remaining 2 volumes and you'll know what i mean) meetings sextet series. Maybe because aside from using the word green in his novel a lot ; Williams , aside from his greener characters , is still too green to handle such an important task as contributing to the all important Sturm mythos. Williams should stick to his poetry , he's ill prepared to take on Krynn. On a lighter and more positive note it's an interesting read. Doesn't reap much on the revelation quotas though.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too many contradictions with other dragonlance books., July 6, 1999
By A Customer
Although I have become used to ignoring contradictions among the Dragonlance books, this little work shocked me with the sheer amount of inconsistencies and errors. It is almost enough to make me wonder if the author even read the original books at all! Though it would take a true dragonlance fan like myself to spot such inconsistencies, I feel that this is one of the weaker books of the rather expansive series. Putting a rather dull spin on Sturm's character, the plot isn't exactly anything to brag about either. And while the summary of the book promises, (as do all other books about Sturm Brightblade), to once and for all solve the mystery about the fate of his father, I have yet to see a book that has, nor do I expect to see such a book in the near future. My advice: find a different book if this is one of your first Dragonlance books. (Sorry about the spelling)
