Kurzbeschreibung
IT'S WAR!!!
During his expedition to find the lost priests of Morcyth, James learned in part why he was brought to this world. But to accomplish what needs to be done, the City of Light must again be free of the Empire. In order for that to happen however, he will have to devise a campaign through which such could be made a reality.
Once the spring thaw begins, and the passes leading into Madoc are again passable, he leads a force from The Ranch over into Madoc. Beginning at Lythylla, Madoc's capital, he sets into motion a series of events which he believes will see the Empire driven from Madoc's soil.
A friend's past brings unexpected allies and James stumbles upon a dark secret buried deep beneath the ground for centuries. A secret better left alone.

Oh yeah, James is finally on the offensive. At the end of the fifth book we learned what he was here for and to do it, he must drive the Empire from Madoc.
when spring arrives, he's ready. Taking everyone from The Ranch with him, he heads around the northern shore of the Sea of the Gods and winds up at Lythylla.
Oh, along the way he learns something about one of his companions, something that will greatly enhance his chances of succeeding in his mission.
Battles. Oh the battles. Where before he had more or less reacted to what was going on around him, this time, he's ready. Crystals powered and ready to go, most held specific spells to be used during the battles. One such was rather clever. He used two crystals to create a bridge over the river so the enemy could be attacked from behind. James uses his brain in this one. Also, the 'Seeds' sown into the beds of various caravans yield interesting results.
Here we get to see behind the scenes as it were of the Empire's mages. Oh yes, they go after him en mass. The ending battle has James and all of his forces pitted against almost the entire mage population of the Empire and a greater portion of the Empire's northern army. What happens there sets the stage for book seven and the climactic ending.
The most action packed book of the series. Left me breathless.

i downloaded the first book of the series as a free book for my kindle. I found it interesting enough to purchase the entire series. Is the book/series predictable? Yes. It is an easy to read, is to pick up book. If you need more fantasy/sci-fi or more intellect stimulation don't buy the book or the series and get Tolkien instead. But if you like book that is easy and where you don't have to think about the plot etc, get it, and read it. Follow the characters.....

WAR!!!!!
23. Februar 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
James goes to war. That's right, here in the sixth book, he gets to kick a little Empire butt. Early in the book he heads over to Madoc and with those he's gathered to him, sets out to cause sufficient damage to the Empire's forces to enable Madoc's army to push them completely out.
This isn't a head on, army versus army type of battles. No. It's more of a guerilla campaign. James and his bunch push deep behind the lines and play merry hell with the Empire's supply line and engage the reinforcements heading up to the front.
The Empire's mages play a major role in this book. Previously, all we've seen of them was when James came up against them in battle. But here, we see into the School of the Arcane and learn more about what makes them tick.
Battle after battle, they push their way deeper into Madoc until finally entering the Empire itself. By this time, forces are being diverted from the front and other places to squash them.
Be prepared for some sleepless nights for when the action starts, it can last for chapters. James also has come up with a few new tricks which are quite ingenious. His 'seeds' were a stroke of genius and worked out quite well.
Of course, there's a climactic battle at the end of the book with magic flying and swords striking. Completely incredible. One of the better battles I've read to tell you the truth. The ending of the battle wasn't what I expected and I won't say any more. don't want to spoil it for you.
For me, this was the best of the series.

I trully enjoyed these charterters. The repeat of the words for the fight scens and the continous caution to be careful need to be addressed by the author.Don no stop writing just expand your ability. Fun until the very end.
