Product Description

Having learned the archival history of the Viis empire, Ampris begins trainin in the gladiatorial arena in the hopes of securing the future of the slave races, while her childhood best friend, the Viis queen, becomes her mortal enemy.
From the Author
Thanks for being patient.
Yes, the ending of THE GOLDEN ONE did leave everyone hanging. I hated to do that to people, but it seemed like the most natural place to break the story, since Ampris was about to embark on an entirely new way of life. THE CRIMSON CLAW features quite a lot of action. Ampris is now a gladiator as well as a rebel. I think you'll find the pace of this book different from the first one. Happy reading!

I bought this book by coincidence and after having read it I felt lucky I had found it. It is the perfect sequel to the Golden One. The plot is very smart and the action is endless. Undoubtedly among the best five books I have ever read!
Format:Audio CD
I especially liked this book because of the action. Who ever would have thought that Ampris turned into a gladiator, and killed lots of other aribu? This book is defintly a must have. Elrabin and Ampris meet up again, and throughtout the course of the book, they are seperated, but they meet again. In the near end, Ampris is sold to a labratory, where she used to do testing for the Dancing Death, which only hurts Viis, and the aribu races are immune to it. Ampris is made to have cubs, and her single female cub is taken away and dissected. Her other 2 cubs look quite odd. In the very end, Elrabin the Kelth comes with a bunch of Rejects to rescue Ampris. However she doesn't need rescuing. She has broken out of the labratory, and taken her fellow captives with her. The former Blues champion is now a fugitive.
Format:Paperback
This book was absolutely wonderful! As one of the other people said, it doesn't have a dragging beginning. It starts out with action and stays there the whole way! I loved all the arena action, it was described so vividly! I'd have to say this is the best out of the three! I would recommend this to anybody!
