A sure-fire Golden Quill winner for Outstanding Storytelling
2 Nov 1999
Format:Mass Market Paperback
There are only a few series-stories out there in existence that excells from the very first book to the last, the first chapter to the last, the very first page to the very last. George Lucas's infamous Star Wars series, the entirety of JMS's Babylon 5 series...and the Gandalara Cycle. To find a single one of this seven-book, out-of-print series is a treasure; to find an entire set is incomprehensible, because virtually all I have heard who had read it refuse, outright, to part with their copies. 'The River Wall', the conclusion to the series, not only brings to a climactic close the ongoing storyline and the plot-twist revelation, it delves into the very nature of sentient existence with the ease of a boat being pushed onto the water; Ms. Heydron carries the reader to the conclusion that we are more than just tool-using, verbose descendants of apes. That our nature is not defined by our DNA, or our physical shape, but that it's how we think, and what we do, that defines us as worthwhile beings. We are Human, and we are Gandalaran, too. Ms. Heydron and the late Mr. Garrett have written a series sentient beings can be proud to read.

An exceptional ending to a great series
1 Aug 1998
Format:Mass Market Paperback
With the unfortunate and untimely death of Randall Garrett, Vicki Ann Heydron writes an outstanding end to the Gandalara Cycle. Vicki, Randall's wife, creates a wonderful conclusion using their collective notes from their years of work on the series.
All of the questions from the first books are answered with a surprising twist of enlightenment. This book is written exceptionately well and is very entertaining. One could read it as an individual work and still be very well entertained. However, it is suggested the reader purchase the entire set of books that makes up the Gandalara Cycle to fully enjoy the whole storyline.
I only wish there were more copies available for public purchase. You'll find the availability of the series to be rare with good reason. Those who do own the entire Gandalara Cycle will not easily give up their copies! If there is a good resource for finding it, Amazon.com is it.
Good luck and happy reading!

One of the best series I have ever read.
29 Mar 2007
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Anyone that likes science fiction and intrigue will not be able to put this series down. I have read the entire series at least four times and look forward to when I have time to read it again. I am one of the few fortunate people out there that own the entire series and I agree with the other readers, I would not sell this set.
