Returning to one of their best-loved fantasy series, Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman bring alive a sweeping tale of intrigue and magic. It is twenty years since the once-magical land of Thimhallan was shattered by the forging of the Darksword. The survivors of that catastrophe now live on Earth, bereft of magic and hope, forbidden to return home. Only Joram remains behind on the world ravaged by his Darksword. Although the magic weapon has been destroyed--and with it, Joram's power--rumors have risen that Joram has forged a second Darksword. Now, as a merciless alien race threatens Earth with annihilation, Earth's desperate leaders look to Joram as their only hope. But even as his old friend Saryon begins the perilous journey to seek his aid, the embittered Joram has his own plans for the weapon. And Joram is not the only one. Soon a new menace looms, foreshadowing betrayal, enslavement, and death to humans and Thimhallans alike.
I have read and enjoyed the Darksword Trilogy, so when I saw this, I had to buy it, and it did not disappoint me, it is every bit as good as the trilogy. I just loved it.
A great start to a great trillogy

I thought this book was great. As good as the Dragonlance books (although i see some of you don't agree ;) ) I thought it was good, i would recomend it to any fantasy fan.
Excellent - If you've read the rest of the series!

I can understand the low rating if you have not read the other books in the series. A lot of the plot has much to do with the history of the darksword. Unless, you already know some of that history, this book could be very difficult to follow. I, on the other hand, have read the series and this book is an excellent closure for the trilogy. I enjoyed it immensly.
NICE, Why are you all so harsh, mellow out, it's cool
