From Kirkus Reviews
Volume five of the apparently interminable Death Gate Cycle (Serpent Mage, 1992, etc.). Now that the evil-magic serpents of the water-world Chelestra have escaped through the Death Gate, new power alliances are possible--such as that between the serpents and Xar, Haplo's powerful Patryn boss. Despite Haplo's feeble warnings about the serpents' malevolent intentions (they can assume any shape, retaining only tell-tale red eyes), Xar dispatches Haplo and his yappy-dog sidekick to the air-world Arianus, with orders to set species against species and generally create chaos among the lower- order ``mensch.'' And this time Haplo's old rival/accomplice, Albert the Sartan, languishes trapped inside the Labyrinth. So, by himself Haplo must somehow stop the elf-dwarf war by helping the human and elf magicians while placating Xar and devising a means to repel the serpents--oh, yes, and preventing various assassinations, including his own. A hypercomplicated plot whose increasingly improbable convolutions seem designed only to distract attention from the ludicrously implausible scenario, plodding narrative, and irritatingly obtuse characters. Which, being translated into Fannish, means: another smash hit. (First printing of 60,000) -- Copyright ©1993, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

From Library Journal
The ancient Patryn-Sartan conflict over control of the four elemental realms enters a new phase as Patryn agent Haplo returns to the Realm of Sky, only to discover its invasion by serpentlike creatures whose evil ambitions threaten the destruction of all the realms. This fifth installment of a seven-volume fantasy epic bears the now-familiar Weis/Hickman trademarks: offbeat humor, complex villain/heroes, and an emphasis on moral responsibility. Despite a tendency toward wordiness, the authors have a knack for sustaining a good story. Purchase where the other series titles are in demand. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 12/92.

It's like watching one of those predictable horror movies, sitting there yelling at the young woman opening that door she really shouldn't open, but she doesn't hear you and opens it anyway. Not that the books in this series are predictable, but they are frustrating, being totally removed from you and the events being out of your control. But they are excellent, and of course end at the precise moment that leaves me wanting more. So I keep buying them. Don't pick up one of these books if you don't intend to read all of them. And for goodness' sake, start with book 1: Dragon Wing.
Format:Taschenbuch
Just when I thought it was over, after the first four books (the Death Gate Cycle), it starts it all over again with Hand of Chaos. Haplo has now been to all 4 different worlds and had more than involved himself with the lowly "mensch". Haplo and his clumsy enemy, Alfred, must try to help spread the word of a power far greater than their own. I have enjoyed every Death Gate book because of it's intense storyline, fine characters, and very interesting "history" which is sprinkled for plot progression. These seven books have captived my time since more since Duncan's octology. I had read Darksword trilogy ten years ago when I was in high school, so I am familiar with their work. And this "septology?" has truly caught my imagination off guard, and I wish the rollercoaster had not stopped!
Format:Taschenbuch
I was very pleased with this book. I had a hard time following it at first, because it was the first book in the series that I read, but the Hand of Chaos quickly draws the reader in with it's colorful description of characters and landscape. After reading this book, I was very interested in getting the rest of the series. And after reading the rest of the series(in order, this time), I feel that Hand of Chaos answers questions, develops characters nicely, and still leaves enough suspense at the end to leave me eager to read more.

A good book; needs to be read in context of the series.
This book, being the fifth in a series of seven, has the unlucky duty of acting as a "bridge". As such, it starts a little slow and never quite gets up to speed. Lesen Sie weiter...
