Description

At first Wayfarer Inspector Danolarian thought the huge oval thing that had fallen from the sky was a dragon's egg. When it opened, however, he knew that it was much, much worse. His world was being invaded by pitiless sorcerers from Lupan, who could sweep whole armies aside, and even defeat the invulnerable glass dragons. Surrender or flight were the only options ... but not for Inspector Danolarian, his Wayfarer Constables, and his sweetheart, the sorceress Lavenci.Although Danolarian is show more no sorcerer, he's no ordinary Wayfarer either. Faced with civilization crumbling around him, and organized resistance shattered by the invincible magic of the Lupanians, he chances upon an unlikely ally and begins to fight back. It won't be easy, for he has to rally the demoralized sorcerers of Alberin, organize its terrified citizens, stay one step ahead of his own past, and, most importantly, survive a dinner party with Lavenci's mother. show less

Another good novel in the Moonworlds series. Voidfarer is told in first person, unlike the third person perspective of the first two, and the style seems a little smoother (and more humorous) as a result.

Some of the main characters from previous novels make cameo appearances and previously secondary characters come to the forefront, making it better to read this in sequence.
I really hope McMullen stops trying his hand at the Terry Pratchett-esque humor. It ruined what would have been an interesting homage to The War of the Worlds. I can't emphasize how abysmal and prevalent the humor was in this book.
A bizarre, fantasy retelling of The War of the Worlds. Worthy of Pratchett at his nuttiest.
Continues the greatest fantasy tale of all time (begun in Voyage of the Shadowmoon and continuing through The Glass Dragons).
