Book Overview
The stunning conclusion to the saga of a doomed civilization and the heroes who fight to save it. "Has the sweep and power of Asimov's Foundation." --Jean M. Auel, author of the Earth's Children series In an empire on the brink of implosion, the Society of the Phoenix is the only alternative to catastrophe, yet it is regarded by the rulers of the Concord as treasonable and a greater threat than the ominous rumblings of a Bond uprising. The Phoenix is led by Alex Ransom, once the first born of the House of DeKoven Woolf, but Commander Ransom now lies in an underground infirmary, critically wounded and comatose after a vital foray into Concord territory. Yet the mission of the Phoenix remains steadfast, and a new leader emerges: Jael the Outsider. Meanwhile, one of the original founders of the Phoenix, Dr. Erica Radek, fights for Ransom's life as hard as she fights for the survival of the Concord. Erica has a third mission: to find Lady Adrien Eliseer, who has vanished without a trace from the Two Systems. Erica knows that Adrien is the key to Alexand's survival. As war looms, the Concord must face the Phoenix, and only one will rise from the ashes.

Wonderful to read and re-read.

I read the first of these books when I was in 7th grade. It took me two years to locate a copy of the 2nd book and two more to find the 3rd. It was well worth the wait and I stayed up all night to read the final book. The characters are wonderfully crafted, the story line is multilevel. The only books I have read more times are "The Count of Monte Cristo" and "The Lord of the Rings". If you can locate a copy of these in a used book store, buy them! Don't let the romance novel apperance keep you from enjoying these great books.
I like chips in brown gravy

Why does every book I like go out of print! Clearly my mother was cursed. That said, this is an excellent trilogy (containing very plausible character development). It also has swords and spaceships! Whoopee! However, I must admit I skipped the sociological chapters (and I'm a lecturer).
A fully realized future history.

I seldom read anything except poetry and Shakespeare more than once. I have read this trilogy through three times. Like any great work of history it presents a fully realized, complex society, and compelling characters - heroes and villians, saints and sinners. I truly wish it had been produced in hard cover.
