Kurzbeschreibung
Dark dwarves...darker schemes...and rising chaos. For generations the baser clans of Thorbardin have raged against Hylar, ancestral rulers of the vast underground realm. Now, the finest Hylar army has marched away to face the Knights of Takhisis -- and the dark dwarves see their opportunity. Besieged in the Life Tree that is their fortress city, the Hylar struggle to survive. Magic and madness threaten from all sides as Theiwar, Daergar, and Klar press the onslaught with bloodthirsty frenzy. The forces of Chaos join the battle against all dwarvenkind. And hopes grow dim as the Hylar face ultimate betrayal and confront the specter of Torbardin's ultimate doom. This exciting new novel by popular Dragonlance author Douglas Niles tells the tale of the legendary dwarven kingdom during the Chaos War, the backdrop for "The New York Times best-selling novel," Dragons of Summer Flame.
Synopsis
As the Chaos War rages across the surface of Ansalan, the Hylar have grown complacent in their leadershi p of the thanes of Thorbardin. Now the lowly clans, aided by demon creatures, are planning insurrection. '

Format:Taschenbuch
A well written story about the mountain dwarves in the dragonlance setting. While most of the fighters are in the "upper world" to defeat chaos, the kingdom of Thorbadin has to fight against enemies from inside and from outside (chaos). Only the famous platinum dragon egg - which holds the essence of chaos - can help to defeat the chaos.
The story gives a good insight to the different clans in the dwarven society.

I was not particularly impressed by "The Last Thane". On the whole, it was one of Doug's lesser works in my opinion. While he had some really good material in going into depth about life in Thorbardin, and the relations between dwarven clans, it seemed to me like he was just trying to see how many dwarves he could kill off at once, so no one would wonder where they were when the Fifth Age writing started.
Format:Taschenbuch
Niles is at his best with well-rounded villians and well-rounded heroes, as in _The Puppet King_. _The Last Thane_, regretably, lacks them and suffers because of it.
The action of the book, and there is certainly a lot of action, revolves around a civil war of the dwarves in Thorbardin and the sudden appearance of a vast army of chaos creatures.
The plot has a great deal of potential, but the characters Niles creates seem one-dimensional, almost cartoonish at times. They seem to be more stereotypes of each dwarven subrace instead of individuals. They lack credible motivations and they are sometimes uninteresting because of it. It is hard to care about the protagonists or antagonists.
Bundled into the mix is a number of highly unlikely events, even for a Dragonlance novel. Some of the circumstances are so improbable, such as the numerous encounters of the protagonist and his gully dwarf friends with an assasin, that the reader loses his suspension of reality.
If you're looking for an action novel and don't want to worry too much about thinking, purchase and enjoy this novel. If you are on a quest to read every Dragonlance novel, it's worthwhile. Otherwise, skip it.

This is another example of what Niles is capable of. Not only does his book provide very enjoyable reading in itself, it answers some questions from one of his previous novels,... Lesen Sie weiter...

Interisting, but could have been better
Most of this book was well written except for the ending. It should have been a little more detailed or maybe extended. Lesen Sie weiter...

An inspiring tale of dwarven courage and honor!
The Last Thane is a worthy predecessor to The Doom Brigade. It is really an excellent book that shows how life was like in Thorbardin during the Chaos war. Lesen Sie weiter...

This book was a great disappointment. Does anyone remember the days in the the first dl novels when there weren't 6 dwarven races? As in the five races plus the gully dwarves. Lesen Sie weiter...
