"Jean Rabe's characters and stories are a wonderful addition to the saga of Krynn." -- Margaret Weis

Jean Rabe's characters and stories are a wonderful addition to the saga of Krynn.

(Margaret Weis )

Product Description

How much is an act of betrayal worth?

Worth the price of a soul?

Dhamon Grimwulf and his band of mercenaries greedily eye a long-forgotten treasure concealed beneath a grassy plain. Legends promise riches too numerous to count, wealth too grand to be believed. But in a shifting world of secrets and deception, such fortune comes at a high price, higher even than the searing agony Dhamon suffers under the curse of a dragon's scale.

High enough to cost Dhamon his life.

The paperback version of the sequel to Downfall, the first book of the Dhamon Saga. Betrayal continues the adventures of characters featured in the USA Today bestselling Dragons of a New Age trilogy.

This review is from: Betrayal : The Dhamon Saga (Mass Market Paperback)

Jean Rabe is probably one the most notorius writers in the Dragonlance world. People don't seem to like what her books tackled in her Dragons of a New Age trilogy. I for one am a fan of Rabe. I was immensly pleased with her DoNA books and looked forward to reading her Dhamon saga as soon as I had time.

This book starts where "Downfall" left off. Other than a short cameo in the beginning and end of the book by Rig and Fiona, the story mostly settles around Dhamon, Maldred, Riki, and an interesting draconian. Dhamon and Maldred are searching for a treasure, that when found, will hopefully help Dhamon find a cure for the cursed dragon scale in his leg.

"Betrayal" is full of enough adventure, excitement, backstabbing, and intrigue to keep any Dragonlance reader hooked. Rabe has really grown as a writer since her DoNA books. They just keep getting better. There are plenty of twists in this book to keep you guessing the whole time. The ending is a shocker and will easily keep you thinking about it until long after you are done, and will keep you begging for more. If you are a fan of Dragonlance, this book is a must.

This review is from: Betrayal (Hardcover)

Rabe gets too much flack from Dragonlance fans. Many automatically brand her books with the mark of the Beast simply because she is not Weis nor Hickman.

Instead she gives us a good RABE book, her own style. With characters that are risky to write and even harder to pull off, and she does it.

The book takes us on many adventures throughout the realms of the evil Dragoness Onysablet, called Sable by we mere mortals.

We see the suffering of humans becoming monstrous spawn, repitilian slaves of the Overlord. We see towns and characters put to the crucible and sword and feel their suffering.

Rabe's writing grows a lot. Her plot pacing is not fast but subtle. She uses wording that is differnt and unique.

I must say that I found this book to be a great supplement to the War of Soul in that it fleshes out Krynn for me ....It helps me see the Fifth Age through the eyes of people other than the Heroes of The Lance... Rabe's books stand out as being every bit as strong, but different than Weiss and Hickman!

Heartily Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Twists and Turns kept my head spinning!
I have to admit that I like surprises, and there were plenty in this book. I felt sorry for some of the characters, and angry at others. Read more
