More About This Book

Overview

After the four worlds Alfred has at last found  his people on Chelstra, the realm of sea. But his  travels have taught him to be cautious... and  Alfred soon realizes his caution is justified, even  among his own kind. The one person Alfred can trust  is, strangely, Haplo the Patryn. But Haplo's lord  has decreed all Sartan to be the enemy, and Haplo  dares not go against his lord. Now the companions  have arrived in a land where humans, elves, and  dwarves have learned to live in peace. Unaware of an  even greater threat to all the realms, it is  Sartan and Patryn who will disrupt this alliance of the  lesser races in their struggle to gain control of  all four worlds. Only Alfred and Haplo realize  that they have a much older -- and more powerful --  enemy than each other...

The fourth world in the New York Times bestselling series explodes vividly to life--guaranteed to push back the bounds of fantasy. Weis and Hickman bring together their massive talents for world-building and creating involved plot lines and memorable characters once again to construct the fourth realm in their extraordinary universe--the water world of Chelestra.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
The fourth volume of the authors' Death Gate Cycle, begun with Dragon Wing , moves to Chelestra, Realm of Sea, last of the four worlds created by the Sartan during the Sundering in their battle against the Patryns. The inhabitants of this world--dwarves, elves and humans--are in grave danger: the seasun, source of light and life to the seamoons on which they dwell, is moving away. When the vessels in which they were to escape are destroyed by malignant, highly intelligent dragon-snakes, three children, scions of the ruling families, undergo adventures and encounter Haplo, the Patryn escaped from imprisonment in the Labyrinth who has been traveling the worlds of the Death's Gate fomenting discord. Meanwhile, Alfred, the last remaining Sartan, also translated to the water world, is reunited with others of his kind, including Samah, who initiated the Sundering and has been in suspended animation since. The stage for escalated conflict is set. The worlds created by Weis and Hickman become more attractively complex with each book of the series. The deepening characterizations of Haplo and Alfred, with the underlying mysteries surrounding both, provide the necessary glue binding this opus, which promises three more volumes. (Mar.)

    Good book -- Bad version

    The book itself was excellent; I had trouble putting it down. It continued where the last left off, and answered a lot of questions from previous books. However, this version was awful. It is completely riddled with typos. These typos are terrible, makes parts unreadable. Even the minor typos are annoying (e.g., missing quotation marks, etc).

    A must read.

    If you love epic fantasy novels you will love this book, the 4th installment of the death gate cycle series is just as good as the rest of them. I could not put it down...they are all great books to get caught up in.

    VERY INTERESTING

    this was a good book. It kind of reminds me of Elven Star a bit and just like in Fire Sea you learn more about the Sartans. The book ends in a cliff hanger so your going to go for #5 right away!

    Good Book That Answers Some Questions!

    Okay, my Headline says it all, it answers SOME questions, not all of them. If you have read the previous three, something I very much recommend if you haven't, you do have some definite questions about Alfred, Haplo, Dog, Sartans, Patryns, and this Higher Power.....it gives you just enough to want to pick up book #5! Plus this is the most human you have ever seen Haplo yet!

    Can't put it down

    I think this was a high point in the series, this book is so interesting! It really begins the series and introduces you into the story more fully than the others. This is just because it takes time to really get into a story, and the juicy parts didnt arrive until this book. However, the previous books were wonderful! read them all!
