Fallen: A Novel of Noreela

Different Concept

This book was good - the concept was original (to me at any rate) and the story moved along at a good pace. The ending was conclusive. Not sure that the book cover really related to the story - he was the one with the map, not her - but this way it helps to sell the book. I was disappointed to see that my local store didn't carry any other of Tim Lebbon's books - but I guess that's why we have online service with free shipping. Definitely recommend this book for both the established fantasy reader and the newcomers to the genre. Easy reading and fun.

An exhilarating adventure tale

Four millennium before the DUSK occurred, Noreela sends forth intrepid explorers into unknown territories. These brave souls expanded the nation¿s glory and affluence on all sides except the south. There voyagers ran up against the Great Divide that ranges so high its top is hidden somewhere in the clouds above. Of those who have tried to scale the Great Divide, none has come back to tell the tale until now. Ten claims to have done this with his proof being an ancient parchment.-------------- Cancer stricken Ramus Rheel has always competed against his friendly rival wealthy adventuress Nomi Hyden to be the first to reach the clouds and beyond and return to tell the tale though Ten has made that claim. For Ramus besides wanting the mantle of the greatest voyager ever, this is probably his last escapade for Nomi wearing the greatest mantle is everything. As they make the trek together accompanied by Serian soldiers, they go past the line where no information is known except Ten¿s questionable ramblings There they run into the ¿home¿ of one of the ancient Sleeping Gods and they soon find themselves fighting to live to tell their saga.-------------------- The latest Noreela fantasy thriller (see DAWN) is an exhilarating adventure tale into the unknown in which fans will want to trek up the Great Dive alongside the exploring Voyagers. The story line is fast-paced, but it is the fully developed lead duo that makes the escapades seems genuine especially in the encampment of the Sleeping God who ¿awakens¿ to the intrusion. Tim Lebbon provides a fascinating quest fantasy with a different spin to the quest as a consequence of their actions is the need to the save the world endeavor-------------- Harriet Klausner
