( ) All the elements of a good story combine here in entertaining and even thought provoking ways with enough travel and action and characters moving on and off stage to keep things interesting the whole way through. An exploration from a variety of perspectives on the tension between action and intention. Of whether a righteous god would create a world where believers engaged in trench warfare against each other and other various questions like that with rabbits as cowboy mounts, where dragons eat hay and where tea is good on both sides of the coin.

Title: Future Indefinite Series: The Great Game Author: Dave Duncan Rating: 1.5 of 5 Stars Genre: Fantasy Pages: 476 Synopsis: Edward does a 180 and embraces the Filoby Testament and voila, everything gets fulfilled. And Dave Duncan does his best to show hatred and disgust for Victorian English Christianity. My Thoughts: I spent a good solid 45 minutes on a review and then because I accidentally clicked the mousepad on my laptap, it all disappeared! So between my dislike of Duncan's stance about Christianity in this novel and my review gettting eaten up, I am simply stating that I didn't like this book and I'll be sticking to Duncan's King's Blades books from now on. Another indepth, perceptive and engaging review by Bookstooge. Yep, totally! " no reviews | add a review

The "tightly written, intelligent, and original" fantasy epic of interdimensional war comes to "a decisive and satisfactory end" (Booklist). In a place called Nextdoor--the farthest flung outpost of British imperialism--earthborn mortals possess the power of gods. Young Englishman Edward Exeter has spent five years trying to escape the magnetic and powerfully magical pull of the Great Game, which has designated him as its most important player. But war and bloodthirsty intrigue rage on both sides of magical portals and across worlds, and Exeter can resist his destiny no longer. He accepts the mantle of Liberator that has been thrust upon him, and the decision turns old friends into foes and old enemies into acolytes as he is surrounded by murderous plots and betrayals. But this is not the uninformed Edward Exeter who came naked into this hidden realm years ago. He has lived the Game and learned it well--and he intends to play it boldly to its shocking, worlds‑shattering conclusion. No library descriptions found. |
