Review
Praise for Quicksilver Rising: 'Quicksilver Rising is brilliantly conceived and beautifully constructed. From the first gripping action scene it had me hooked. It has all the ingredients to become a classic of the genre' David Gemmell 'Nicholls tells a story into which the reader is dragged as willing victim. He has an eye for action and character, keeps the pace high, plot finely tuned and pages turning; and in Quicksilver Rising has delivered a hugely entertaining read.' James Barclay 'Stan Nicholls puts modern dialogue into the mouths of high fantasy characters and echoes of our politics into the kingdoms he creates. Easily as much fun as you'd expect.' Jon Courtenay Grimwood, Guardian 'Nicholls knows his stuff ! deft characterization ! full of action, magic, romance and politics' Starburst Exhilarating, innovative fantasy writing ! delivered with tremendous panache' Publishing News 'A cracking blend of high fantasy adventure and thought-provoking political thriller -- a real feast for intelligent imaginations.' Louise Cooper 'Fast-paced, high adventure ! a bare-knuckle fight with a magic punch.' Mark Chadbourn

Product Description
From the author of the internationally accalaimed Orcs series comes a powerful new epic fantasy to rival the work of Raymond E. Feist and David Gemmell. Cursed with immortality and episodes of uncontrollable, berserk fury, Reeth Caldason is desperate to find a cure for his magical affliction. His search has brought him to the island state of Bhealfa, ruled by a despot and trapped between two powerful rival empires. Here, after decades of carefully avoiding all personal attachments, he finds himself entangled with a Resistance movement intent on founding a utopia free from tyranny. The paladin clans, a fearsome order of mercenary knights who provide government security, are determined to crush the growing rebellion. Devlor Bastorran, the cruel, and possibly mad, heir apparent to the clan leadership, is plotting a grotesque revenge against Caldason, having been bested by him in a humiliating and very public swordfight. But Caldason has other problems to contend with. The rebels have decided on the location of their new state -- a remote island. Before it can be occupied, a large quantity of gold must be delivered to its legal owner. Caldason is the natural choice to head this sensitive mission -- but he soon discovers that a powerful new enemy covets both the gold and the island, threatening to destroy the whole fragile venture before it's even underway.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Great sequel, must read!, 24 Feb 2007 By  Pieter W. lak (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews Quicksilver Zenith Book two of the Quicksilver Trilogy Stan J. Nicholls Stan Nicholls is the author of many novels and short stories but is best know for his Orcs-novels (Bodyguard of Lightning, Legion of Thunder and Warriors of the Tempest). With the Quicksilver Trilogy he has created yet another fantastic world with even more fantastic characters. Stan currently lives in Birmingham with his lovely wife Anne. Quicksilver Zenith is the sequel to Quicksilver Rising in which the reader is introduced to the main character of this trilogy, Reeth Caldason. Reeth is the last surviving member of his warrior tribe, and is cursed.....with immortality. In his quest to find a cure for this curse and to get rid of strange visions which keep tormenting him in his sleep he joins up with a Resistance movement. They claim to know the cure for his problems. The leaders of the Resistance have the wish of founding there own state to escape the tyrannically rulers of the two empires controlling the world they live in. Their next step in gaining freedom is buying an island from its rightful owner. In exchange for their help Reeth agrees on delivering the money. Just when Reeth is set to leave one the key-players of the resistance is captured, with disastrous consequences for the whole movement. And if that wasn't enough Reeth also discovers there are more people in the running for ownership over the targeted island...... Remember watching Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back? Not that much action except for the beginning of the story and it just doesn't seem to get anywhere until closely to the end and you start realising that everything is starting to make sense? Just the same with this book. Stan Nicholls allows the reader to get closer to the different characters and understand more of there motives to be part of the resistance or to destroy them. While reading Quiksilver Zenith it slowly becomes clear what exactly is tormenting Reeth Caldason and why the mysterious warlord Zerreis is so important to the story. Stan Nicholls has yet again succeeded in writing a page turner. While not as action packed as his Orcs-novels or Quicksilver Rising he knows how to secure the readers attention. If part three of the series, Quicksilver Twilight, turns out to be just as gripping Stan Nicholls can surely join the ranks of Robin Hobb, John Marco and James Barclay, great fantasy writers who know how to finish a story in three books.
