The Great Working-the effort to do the unthinkable and reunite a galaxy long sundered by the Gap Between-remains incomplete, left unfinished in the aftermath of the dissolution of Arehkon's Mage-Circle. But too much energy and too many lives have been poured into the Working already; and it cannot end so long as any of the Circle members remain alive and bound into it.Home, unfortunately, isn't a safe place for Arehkon to be at the moment. For Eraasi has changed-and the great fleet families at the center of the Eraasian culture are girding for war.… (more)

Another credible effort in the Doyle/MacDonald Mageworld Series. Don't expect anything groundbreaking or profound, but if you're looking for a quick, entertaining read in classic space opera mode, I wholeheartedly recommend any of the books of this series (especially the first trilogy).

A Working of Stars is the second novel in a pre-prequel set that, when I first read it, I thought would be wrapped-up in a third story...but a later email exchange with Mr. Macdonald suggested that this was all there would be. ( )
