5.0 out of 5 stars
Readable, and very RE-readable,
By ellenvannin "ellenvannin" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Adversary (The Saga of the Exiles) (Paperback)
I first read the Golden Torc at high school in the 80s, and have returned to the Exiles and Milieu trilogies as well loved friends ever since. Characters you'll warm to, characters you'll love to hate, characters you'd love to give a stingy smack around the chops and an "oh stop whinging!" to.What I like best about this set of May's work is that while being a serious story, the narrative never takes itself too seriously unlike a lot of worthy yet ponderous fantasy. Start with the Many Coloured Land and work your way through the Exiles, then Intervention, then the Milieu series, even if this way you have to wonder at some of the 'convenient' set ups in the later series.

A great successor to the Milleu Triology,
By Katie (silvercut69@hotmail.com) (Preston, Lancs) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Adversary (The Saga of the Exiles) (Paperback)
Anyone who read the Milleu Triology will agree with me that this book is a definetely MUST. I have started reading this Saga because I enjoyed the Triology so much, and I hoped for a continuation of Marc's story.This book is the culmination of the set, and we get to see Marc making a decision once more to interfere, except this time he fights for salvation instead of damnation. This is where the development of the greatest Saint of the Gallactic Milleu occurs (greater than the Saint Illuso and Saint Jack, his brother), a moral creation of Unifex, as we see him in the Triology. Once again we see a well-developed plot, with threads that reach to both of the sets. The best part about this book is all the vague references to the future so taht reader has to make their own conclusions. If you have read any of the other books, this is a definite must-read. You can't go wrong with it!

A complex, satisfying many-layered story,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Adversary (The Saga of the Exiles) (Paperback)
This book, and the whole Saga of the Exiles is first of all a good long satisfying read. It has more layers than an onion, and is also a damn fine adventure story. The whole series along with the later Galactic Milieu books involve politics, psychology, myths and legends and lots of "proper" Science Fiction, as well as some good old space opera. I recommend it to anyone who reads any kind of Science Fiction or Fantasy
