Into the Labyrinth (A Death Gate Novel)

This novel is the sixth book of the Death Gate Series. And, it is quite possibly one of the most complex, intense, enjoyable reads of this series.Haplo is joined by Marit, his former lover, and Hugh the Hand as he travels through Arianus. Marit has been sent by Xar to kill Haplo, and Hugh the Hand has been sent by the Kenkari to kill Haplo also. But, the trio end up back in the Labyrinth, where Alfred is waiting for them.Once Marit and Haplo realize where they are, they are even more stunned to find that they are at the BEGINNING of the Labyrinth. The four party memebers decide that they must try and complete the Labyrinth, since it is the only way out.After narrowly escaping the first gate, the group comes across something that the Patyrns have never seen before in the Labyrinth; a city. Once in the city, Alfred and the gang learn some lessons on what happened to the Sartan sent to the Labyrinth, and more importantly, what a Serpent Mage is.This novel is unreal, and fast paced. The reader finally gets to experience the triumph and tragedy associated with the Labyrinth. There are new characters to the series, and further character development of the old characters. The novel is a page turner, and keeps you interested from the beginning. Perhaps the greatest part of this novel is the battle that takes place at the end of the book, when the Labyrinth decides to attack a city. With the ending of this novel, you will want to RACE to get the final novel in this series!!

I have yet to read this book, but I noticed that you say it is out of print. However, just yesterday, I purchased a brand new copy from B. Dalton bookstores at the same price as each of the other novels, 5.99. I just thopught I would let you know so you can remove your out of print status. Thanks.

If you don't read all seven books in order, you'll never get it. "Into the Labyrinth" is totally dependant on the other books. (So are the rest) Everything flows into each other so that I can't quite remember where each book began and ended. They'll blow you away. Really well-developed characters, intricately carved plot, and a frustratingly real writing style make these books the best I've ever read.

Having read all of Weis and Hickmans books I was expectig a lot out of The Death Gate Cycle. And boy did I get it! Into the Labyrinth was probably my favorite of the series, that and Serpent Mage. It was well written, action filled. All in all it was quite a book I would recomend it to ANYONE. If you have not read the series yet, READ IT. And if you have, read it again. Books as good as these deserve to be read again and again. My favorite part was the battle of abri and the "Coren" part. For what it is worth I think it was one of Weis and Hickmans best, and one of the best ever writen!!!!
