Product Description
After the four worlds Alfred has at last found his people on Chelstra, the realm of sea. But his travels have taught him to be cautious... and Alfred soon realizes his caution is justified, even among his own kind. The one person Alfred can trust is, strangely, Haplo the Patryn. But Haplo's lord has decreed all Sartan to be the enemy, and Haplo dares not go against his lord. Now the companions have arrived in a land where humans, elves, and dwarves have learned to live in peace. Unaware of an even greater threat to all the realms, it is Sartan and Patryn who will disrupt this alliance of the lesser races in their struggle to gain control of all four worlds. Only Alfred and Haplo realize that they have a much older -- and more powerful -- enemy than each other...

Back on track,

This review is from: Serpent Mage (Death Gate Cycle) (Paperback)
After a somewhat lacklustre third entry, Weis and Hickman play to their strengths in 'Serpent Mage'. All the requisites of high fantasy are included, with elves, dwarves and magic vs. science. These factors are cleverly blended with the strong Death Gate scenario, brimming with originality and ideas. The setting does not overshadow the plot, with less premable and backstory than previous entries - Haplo's journey is central to the action and mayhem. Good characterisation and clever use of narrative styles create an engaging story, utilising the Death Gate scenario to almost reinvent an old angle. At times the story seems a little forced, with some trite dialogue and clumsy foreboding, however overall Serpent Mage is a worthwhile and inventive read.

At last an insight into the sundering,
By A Customer
This review is from: Serpent Mage (The Death Gate Cycle, Vol 4) (Paperback)
This fourth instalment delves more into the inner conflict of Haplo the patryn and his "love hate" relationship with Alfred.Many more revelations of the actual sundering are revealed with Alfreds discovery of the original council of seven. The only disapointing aspect of the book are the weak mench caracters who,unlike the previous books do nothing for the overall Grand tale. Still, a not to be missed instalment in the series.

Oceanly Ecstasy,
By A Customer
This review is from: Serpent Mage (The Death Gate Cycle, Vol 4) (Paperback)
I really loved the world of Pryan, but this comes in very close second. The authors have increadible ability at creating unique interesting worlds is unbelievalbe. The whole series is like nothing youve ever read, this just adds to the excitement. I like the introduction of the dragonsnakes and how the mysterys of Alfred become a little clearer. Go get it!
