Starburst

‘BattleAxe is the best Australian fantasy novel I’ve experienced to date.’
Martin Livings, Eidolon

‘Enchanter is utterly enthralling and unputdownable.’
Karen Brooks, OzLit

Product Description

The second book of the Wayfarerer Redemption, an enthralling continuation of The Axis trilogy, by the bestselling Australian author Sara Douglass

By leaching Drago’s latent Icari magic the Time Keeper Demons have burst through the StarGate, bringing an apocalypse down upon Tencendor as they unleash plagues of pain, terror and madness on man and beast. Overhead the Hawkchildren swarm the skies, hungry for prey.

Sheltered within the forest of Minstrelsea, the rulers of Tencendor desperately search for a way to fight back, but with the StarGate destroyed the protective magic of the StarDance has been lost forever. Now, even the Gods are vulnerable to the demon’s onslaught. Prophecy decrees that Tencendor’s only hope lies with the StarSon, but Caelum’s magic is gone too.

Wracked with guilt over his unwitting betrayal Drago pursues the demons. Unless he can aid the StarSon and prevent the resurrection of the demon’s master, Queteb the Midday Demon, the once beautiful land of Tencendor will descend into a living hell.

Format:Paperback
Sara Douglass's Wayfarer trilogy directly follows on from the Axis trilogy and is set forty years on from then. The Axis books were lightweight but very enjoyable and the first book in this series was the same. However, in Pilgrim, things seem to go awry. The basic story is sound; Time Demons have broken through the Star Gate and are wreaking havoc and madness on the inhabitants of Tencendor. Caelum Sunsoar, also known as the Starson, is the son of the god Axis and goddess Azhure, and supposedly the man who will save the land. Old favourite characters appear, including the magical, gentle Faraday and the twisted Wolfstar Sunsoar and the usual battles and quests ensue.

As the story unfolds however, the story gets somewhat strange and the writing becomes immature and repetitive. An army of vicious sheep (!), violent cows, maddened chickens and other assorted animals, led by a badger of all things, is causing bloodshed; whilst a 'mad eyed hamster' seeks revenge against mans inhumanity!! Although this is a fantasy book this is stretching things too far, the more so because it is written in such a serious way with no humour intended. Douglass goes into gory detail with every scene of violence, and there is much violence in this book. Another 'hard to swallow' aspect of the book is the burgeoning romantic relationship between Zenith Sunsoar and her grandfather. Nasty.

I am tempted to read the last book just to tie up any loose ends but have to admit that if it is the same as this one I may not read any of her other books.

Always a Surprise! 31 Mar 2005
By JHH - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I must say that one of the reasons I love Sara Douglass is because I never know what to expect when I pick up her books. Ms. Douglass does not fall into the trap of writing "formula" books and Pilgrim is no exception! The character development of Drago, which was really begun in Sinner, continues, and will surprise and I think delight many fans of the series. Unlike some other reveiwers, I found the development of the more well established characters (like Faraday and Axis) added significanly to their depths, (even if one would like to shake them on occasion!). After reading Pilgrim, both Faraday and Axis seem more "human" in their reactions to the situations and choices they face. Readers will not find Pilgrim disappointing, though they may be saddened that there is only one book left to this great series!

Enchanter 17 Dec 2001
By Mary R Dvorsky - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is extremely well written. Sara Douglass obviosly knows how to enthrall the reader, making that person want to know what happens next. This story weeves a kind of enchantment, it swirls in your mind making it seem as though this could acualy happen. It forces the mind to expand upon it, to change it, to live it. The sweeping plot, the characters interactions, the pain, and the joy. Forces the reader to laugh with Caelum's joy and to weep with Azhure's pain. To sing well and fly high, to know the pain, the sorrow, the heartbreak, and the betrayal. One must read this book.

Sheer excitement 5 May 2000
By Jason - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Pilgrim is to be published later this year in the US as part of a six part series under the banner of The Wayfarer Redemption. Though this is a prophecy driven fantasy (with some science fiction blended in), it is stunningly original. It has great characters (including some vile villians), triumphs and horrible tragedies, amazing mysteries and exciting scenes that you will want to read over and over. For those of you who are agonising over impending Wheel of Time books (myself included), Battleaxe, Enchanter, Starman, Sinner, Pilgrim and Crusader were originally published in a Australia over a five year period. Sara Douglass is one prolific writer. Stuff the bloody Olympics, read this for some Aussie gold!
