Overview

1,000 years ago Earth colonized the planet Charm. But the population of Charm is now far removed from their ancient ancestors. Technology has been lost over the years but the people have something better--Magic! Charm is a world covered by volcanoes, each erupting a different color of magic. Everything within a particular Chroma becomes that color. Plants, animals, insects, and even humans all become one color and can perform that color of magic. Traveling is dangerous because a person leaving their native Chroma home can no longer perform their color magic. Havoc is a barbarian living in a non-Chroma village, where no one has magic. As a boy, he rescued a dragon that rewarded him with special magic; to sense pending danger. His gift becomes more valuable than he can imagine as he is suddenly drafted and forced to become the new king of the planet. He must perform his duties or be executed for treason. To make matters worse, the assassin who killed the former king is now after Havoc!

    Boring and too long

    I normally like piers anthony a lot so purchased this entire series. Unfortunately. This one is not good . The rest are worse. The story takes 450+ pages to to cover something that should have been edited to maybe 200 pages. Way too much repetitive focus on sex and not enough focus on story. What happened to good storey telling?

    Not as advertised

    More than 25 years ago, I purchased a Piers Anthony trilogy titled "Double Exposure" that I liked so much, I have read it at least five times. That book had a strong sex subplot that was neither so intrusive as to overwhelm the main plot nor objectionable in its detail. This book, however, is just the opposite. It is so overwhelmingly smutty that it buries any real story plot. In fact, the first chapter is pure kiddie porn, a recurring theme throughout the remaider of the book. The book is tedious to read and has chapters that are so long I almost forgot what the previous chapter was about at the end of each chapter I read. It needs heavy editing to make it readable, even as a pure pornography offering. As written, this book belongs on the shelves of an adult book store. I am not a prude by any measure. What I object to is being ambushed into buying a book like this without being properly warned that it is XXX rated and carries so little worthwhile story content. I have absolutely no plans of purchasing or even borrowing any of the remaining books in this series!
