"* On Jango published in 2006, the Guardian said: 'A thrilling story of integrity' and the Daily Telegraph said: 'The events rip along, but the real strength of Nicholson's novel lies in its wonderful characters'. * On Seeker, published in 2005, the Guardian said: 'A timeless piece of storytelling'. The Bookseller said, 'An elegantly written story.' The Daily Telegraph said 'An engrossing and thoughtful adventure'."

NOMAN is the finale to THE NOBLE WARRIORS trilogy. I would not suggest reading this book before you read the previous two.
The novel brings a beautiful end to the story of Seeker, Jango, and Morning Star. The stories are very character-driven, and to fully grasp the depth and spirituality of the characters it is important to understand their past. The author writes the book by taking the reader into the actions of the main characters by alternating chapters. At times this did make it difficult to follow the story line, because there was a lack of consistency and flow throughout the story.
This book is thought-provoking and contains symbolism and moral messages that can be directly associated with religion and spirituality.
During NOMAN, the young people in the book are sent on their own individual quests to decide who they want to be and what is important to them in their lives. Even as Seeker faces the completion of his quest to kill the last of the Old Ones, he finds someone who is preaching joy and love - and he is forced to face the reality of his past decisions.
Although it would be nice to see them use their powers all together, I liked the individual aspect of the teens learning to deal with life problems on their own.

Our family is always reading together *quality* fantasy literature.
To us the most under-praised and under-publicized fantasy trilogy of all is "The Noble Warriors," in three volumes-- Seeker: Book One of the Noble Warriors, Jango: Book Two of the Noble Warriors, and Noman: Book Three of the Noble Warriors.
It's about two teen boys (Seeker and Wildman) and one teen girl, (Morning Star), and it soars, with evocativeness and compassion and even tenderness, into their fantasy and magical civilization's politics, hypocrisy, authoritarianism, homeless underclass, gangs, wars, and above all these sensitive teen's heroism and their spirituality -- their engagement with each other, fraudulent cults, barbarous religion (including human sacrifice), peaceful (and magical) monasticism, and their true spiritual seeking.
It touches seamlessly and coherently on so many deftly interwoven themes. It is absolutely action-packed entertaining, audaciously intelligent, adventurous, deeply reflective, much too-little known, and a simply stunning achievement.

A Disappointment
First of all, I have to say that I loved Mr Nicholson's Wind on Fire trilogy and Seeker, which was a good beginning to the series. Jango was also quite good. Read more
