Product Description
Product Description
"There is a road of darkness and awful peril, a path which shall take you to places beyond the knowledge of men." The Lord-of-Mists, has awakened in his dark realm with one purpose; to enslave the world, leaving nothing but a despairing, colourless void. The bonds are loosened. The winds cry of it. The earth trembles because of it. They tell of powers reaching out, scheming, plotting, grovelling for what they desire. The Goblin Horde marches to war against the armies of Elves and Men. The Warriors-of-Mist have broken free of their bindings, soon the Ice-Queen will plunge the Earth into an everlasting winter. And The Wizard-of-Rainbows has lost his magic! This title is addictive reading, especially appealing to Middle Earth fans - Pure magic!

A very promising debut,
By FantasyBookReview.co.uk (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wizard of Rainbows (Paperback)
The Wizard of Rainbows is story about a journey, both physical and spiritual, and of a pilgrimage for knowledge. The Wizard/Pilgrim meets many companions along his way that help him to frame a better idea of who and what he is, indeed, many of his companions know his destiny better than he does himself. There is the passing of many years during the telling of the tale as the Pilgrim moves from childhood into adulthood. The Wizard of Rainbows is an epic fantasy, good and evil are clearly defined and the central figure is the Wizard/Pilgrim. Companions join, leave and rejoin throughout the tale - there are is mixture of humans, elves, dwarves and goblins that will please fantasy readers.
The Wizard of Rainbows is subtle and clever and there are numerous glimpses of the excellence that Mark A. Cropper is capable of. I look forward to reading his next offering and would recommend The Wizard of Rainbows to epic fantasy lovers. I especially liked the goblins, if you've read the Stan Nicholls book, Orcs, and enjoyed it then you will love Icicle the Goblin, a great character. FantasyBookReview.co.uk

thought provoking intelligent read,
By susan dreamweaver (Blackpool) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wizard of Rainbows (Paperback)
An Interesting tale; at first it would seem to follow a simple plot wherein the Wizard pursues his quest to rediscover and regain his magic with the help or hindrance from various other entities. However the more enquiring mind soon realises there are interweaving, underlying themes which merit deeper thought.
A story to ponder over and perhaps read again, but an enjoyable fantasy which should find favour with anyone who truly enjoys this genre.

Wizard of Rainbows,
By neil burton (lancashire ,England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wizard of Rainbows (Paperback)
This is no ordinary fantasy story . At one level it reads as a story about the transformation that relationships with others and ourselves bring about.This is seen in many of the unforgetable characters and often with unforseen consequeces that befall them as a result of meeting the Wizard. It is about our relationship with power and personal influence and the ambiguities of right and wrong that exist.
It also contains several love stories that are memorable and moving in nature which attest to the theme of transformation. This is all set within an exciting tale of a quest and blood chilling battle scenes.
