Product Description

Product Description
The valiant night elves have been shattered by the loss of their beloved general. The black dragon, Neltharion, has claimed the Demon Soul and scattered the mighty dragonflights to the winds. Above all, the demonlord, Archimonde, has led the Burning Legion to the very brink of victory over Kalimdor. As the land and its denizens reel from this unstoppable evil, a terror beyond all reckoning draws ever nearer from the Well of Eternity's depths. This epic trilogy is based on the bestselling computer game sensation. The dragon-mage Krasus and the young druid Malfurion must risk everything to save Azeroth from utter destruction. Banding together with dwarves, tauren and furbolg races, the heroes hope to spark an alliance to stand against the might of the Burning Legion, or the world will be lost.

About the Author
Aside from his extensive work in Dragonlance, Richard A. Knaak is best known for his popular Dragonrealm series. His other works include several contemporary fantasies, including Frostwing (Time Warner) and King of the Grey (Time Warner).

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good, 1 Nov 2008
Virtually everyone knows the game, but I'm not sure about the books. I remember seeing the book and thinking "oh, I didn't even know they have warcraft books". I decided to give it a try, and was not disappointed. The main character is thrown back in time to the part of history where the seemingly immortal army of the Burning Legion make their first step into Azeroth. What really got to me was the battles in the book; really in depth and detailed as to always keep you interested. The story does drift off at places though, but it always kicks off again so that you won't be forced to put down the book. Very good read if you want to know know the history of warcraft.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome tale, 25 Sep 2008
By Sérgio Iglésias "NightK" (Portugal) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you know about warcraft lore or are a warcraft fan, you will enjoy this book, it's written in a way that gets you hooked wondering what will happen next, most fans know what happened in the beginning of the universe of warcraft, the titans shaped the worlds and protected them from evil, the titan guardian and warrior Sargeras fought the evil countless times, but their crimes, their chaotic and evil nature, confused the lawfull titan and in the end corrupted and twisted is mind, he decided then that everything should be destroyed and became the leader of the burning legion, an empire of demons and twisted beings that seeks to devour and destroy everything that exists.

The book takes place 10,000 years before Warcraft III, when the arrogance of the Night Elves and abusive use of magic caught the attention of Sargeras.

Book: 3 out of 5 - The book quality is poor, the paperback cover doesn't really suit such big book and the pages are really thin and weak. As for the cover, the art is very good and charming, showing the 3 main characters of the night elven race of warcraft III.

Story: 5 out of 5 - This is my favourite part of the lore of warcraft, and the book succeeds in showing us what was so confusing in Warcraft III, what were Illidan crimes, how did the elves become immortal and so protective of their territory, how Tyrand became the high priestess, how furion became so powerfull and leader of the Night Elves and also it explains some neat details of the lore like the demon soul, the naga and the sundering.

Overall: 5 out of 5 - the book is really good, I enjoyed every bit of it and got hooked, it made me respect individuals from each race in another way, Humans, Dragons, Demigods, Night Elves, Orcs, Tauren, etc... For every race had their good side despite their differences while conflict existed because of politics and because of those in charge.
If you like Warcraft, you will enjoy this book that's for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Want to learn some Warcraft history?, 3 Dec 2008
By J. Howse "Jase" (oxford, uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Set many many years before World of Warcraft and even the original Warcraft games this compilation of The well of Eternity, Demon Soul and The Sundering is a great way to get into a bit of Warcraft lore. The characters are well written and help you understand why they became as they are, for example Illidan.
But i can safely say that anyone who likes fantasy novels but has no knowledge of Warcraft and its world this book is a great choice as you do not need any prior Warcraft knowledge, in fact those without could possibly enjoy it more, as a WoW player i know where it leads etc.
