Review

David Burrows’s interest in fantasy began with The Lord of the Rings. Inspired by the epic tale he put pen to paper, determined to create a story with bold characters and an intriguing plot. In Legacy of the Eldric he has certainly achieved his aim; the characters are memorable and the plot is fast-paced and exciting. It is an opening chapter in a series that I look forward to reading the mid and end parts to. This is solid fantasy; exactly what a fantasy doctor would order for those looking for an enjoyable escape from reality… fans of Tolkien, Hobb and Moorcock will love what they find here. Definitely recommended. (8/10 stars), http://www.fantasybookreview.co.uk/David-Burrows/Legacy-of-the-Eldric.html/

Product Description

Vastra is a man possessed. Where other men require food to sustain them, his craving is for power. He seeks an Eldric talisman, ensnaring two men to aid him. Fate guides his hand and, unwittingly, he chooses Kaplyn, who is seeking to escape his own destiny and Lars, shipwrecked and friendless, an outcast on the Allund shore. An unlikely trio, they form a fragile alliance but, recklessly ambitious, Vastra will betray them in a heartbeat. Throughout their journey, there are clear signs that demons are active, stealing souls to slake their hunger. Their journey takes them to a mysterious tower, beset by traps, where Kaplyn triggers a chain of events unleashing the full power of a prophecy that could doom them all. Deep in the heart of a mountain lays a power that not even Vastra has the audacity to envision. But who really is guiding Vastra's destiny? Kaplyn has the talisman and, for all of Vastra's threats, he is unwilling to part with it.

A gripping read 16 Jan 2012
By JonW
Format:Paperback
The Legacy of the Eldric was a book I didn't want to put down. I always felt something exciting was going to happen on the next page. I enjoyed the development of the characters and the strong plot. The book ends in a way which makes you want to start the second book straight away.

I loved it 14 Dec 2010
By Becks
Format:Paperback
The Legacy of Eldric was brilliant. It had me completely gripped. I was torn between not wanted to put it down, but also being so tense (I couldn't possibly admit to being scared!) that I almost didn't want to read on... but I just had to. It just had me hooked - I'm half way through the next one, and think the third might just have to be my Christmas present to myself.

If you like reading about elves, dragons, demons and all kinds of fantasy adventures - then I thoroughly recommend The Legacy of Eldric to you. Enjoy (I did!)

Format:Paperback
Without giving anything away this has been one of the most enjoyable literary romps I have had for some time. Well written with crisp clear characters it is just the thing to take you away from the daily grind into a fascinating fantasy world. Mr Burrows' scientific background shines through and I can see this book on the big screen!
A word of caution: Don't leave this book lying around; my 13 year old son made a grab for it when he was home from boarding school and I had to wait a while to finish it!
