Product Description


The extraordinary beginning of an epic series brimming with the unbridled action, adventure, and imagination that have made the name R. A. Salvatore synonymous with the best in fantasy!

Jeff "Del" DelGuidice was proud of his assignment to the research submarine The Unicorn. But his mission had barely begun when the vessel was sucked into a mysterious underseas void where time stood still, before propelling it forward, through the centuries. The crew surfaced in a strange, magical world changed forever by nuclear holocaust. Here a race of angelic beings had taken pity on the remnants of humankind, offering a chosen few a precious second chance.

Thus the Isle of Hope was raised from the poisoned seas and set like a jewel in Earth's ravaged crown. But the jewel had a flaw, a dark vein of evil. For a sinister expert of the mystical arts had embraced the forbidden third magic, the most deadly sorcery of all. Only Del could defeat it--a hero sworn to peace and fated to wield the dazzling power of the fourth magic. . .

5.0 out of 5 stars First impression, best impression., March 9, 2001
By Keith McDonald (Sunderland, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
As a 15 yr old English literature lover, I stumbled somehow upon this wonderful book, I think attracted to it mainly by its cover. Being an earlier edition, the comical looking cover left me unsure of what to expect. Since I am no lover of naval narrations, the very beginning left me wondering whether to continue, but, boy, I'm so glad I did. I was so thoroughly absorbed by this book, although very short of time, I read it over and over again. Many may argue that it is far-fetched, but I think that, as a first novel, this really is a bold, experimental and raw success, which has worked to great measure. At 17 now, RAS became my favourite author, and I've found the 'Crimson Shadow' series great fun to read, and 'The Dark Elf Trilogy' too, but none grip me like 'Echoes4thMagic'. I was ecstatic to find out there were sequels for the 'Ynis Aielle' series, and hurredly ordered them from the US, over AMAZON, and loving this book like I did, am raring to go with the rest of this. If you want to get started with Salvatore, start with this, it certainly worked for me!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great beginning to a great series, November 5, 2000
By SilverMage (Charlotte, NC USA) - See all my reviews
Well since most of the reviews I read were downing on the book I thought that I should give my thoughts. I thought it was an awesome book. The way the story starts out right in the middle of the action was a cool twist since alot of books drag out the introduction. Salvatore's explination of the four levels of magic was very interesting. And the magical battle blew me away. All in all it was a very interesting read and i highly recommend it, as well as the rest of the books in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not his best., April 4, 2003
The Unicorn was an undersea discovery sub in which any nation in the world could help fund. Those nations that did got to share all the new discoveries from the vessel. However, while a huge storm ravaged above the sea, the sub was sucked into a black void. Most of the crew died. The few who lived emerged to find themselves far into the future.

Captain Mitchell, Reinheiser, Doc Brady, Billy Shank, and Jeffry DelGiudice "Del" found themselves to be the ancient ones who were prophesied to come and change the world.

The race of Man had destroyed themselves. Four humans were chosen by a being to become wizards to help the world in its change.
Brielle, the Emerald Witch of the Woods.
Ardaz, the Silver Mage.
Istaahl, the White Mage.
Thalasi, the Black Warlock.
The world now consisted of elves, known as Moon Dancers, and misshapen lizard beasts known as Talons.

The Ancient Ones, battling amongst themselves, joined the new races to help battle the Black Warlock and his gruesome Talons before all good and the entire race of Moon Dancers were destroyed forever!

**** I found the beginning to be very slow. But after the first few chapters, the story picked up and held onto me. I understand it to be the first of a trilogy or series, but I am not sure. Salvatore fans will NOT be disappointed. However, expect a Sci-Fi, instead of a Fantasy, for the beginning to set up the plot.
