Product Description
Product Description
Abarrach, the Realm of stone. Here, on a barren world of underground caverns built around a core of molten lava, the lesser races -- humans, elves, and dwarves -- seem to have all died off. Here, too, what may well be the last remnants of the once powerful Sartan still struggle to survive. For Haplo and Alfred -- enemies by heritage, traveling companions by necessity -- Abarrach may reveal more than either dares to discover about the history of Sartan... and the future of all their descendants.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The best of an amazing series, one of the best ever.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fire Sea (The death gate cycle) (Mass Market Paperback)
The third volume of the Death Gate Cycle just blew me away when I read it. The story takes a darker turn, looks at death and our perceptions of it, and becomes more depressing than the other books of the series, while maintaining the fast pace and enjoyability I have come to expect from Weis and Hickman. The cast of characters, again renovated, as in the first two, is by far superior to Dragon Wing and Elven Star. Living, dead, and undead, all the characters are made real by the vivid writing styles of the two authors. This book is disturbing, but also amazing. Even if you didn't like the first two, they're worth it just to get to this one. A couple warnings, though: first, this book contains some major violence, and I wouldn't recommend it for readers younger than, say 13. Another, on a different topic: make sure you have Serpent Mage handy when you finish this book, the ending is a direct lead-in to the fourth book. Amazingly enough, Weis and Hickman manage to keep the quality of the series nearly as high as this book for the last four volumes!

It just gets better and better...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fire Sea (The death gate cycle) (Mass Market Paperback)
I just finished reading this book about an hour ago. It was really awesome, but you have to have read the others to understand. *If you haven't, you may get confused by the following.* I really sympathize with Alfred because I can see how much necromancy hurts him, how much it hurts the dead, and how much it can hurt everyone on Abarrach. I also felt really super sorry for Jera and Jonathan. I cried, even! I was glued to this book and read it all in two days! I'm liking how Haplo and Alfred are at least starting to get along. I also agree with Anna about the last line-- way funny, and very interesting... thought provoking... I can't wait to read the next book!

Eek!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fire Sea (The death gate cycle) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is extraordinarily grim--the other books in the series have dark elements, but this is by far the most uncompromisingly bleak. However, that doesn't make it any less of a book--Abaraach, as with all of the septet's worlds, is vivdly imagined, and the interaction between Haplo and Alfred is very well-done and interesting.
