Product Description

From Amazon

The video game industry has always drawn upon works of fiction for inspiration--sooner or later, the process had to reverse itself. Krondor the Betrayal began its life as the bestselling role-playing video game of all time, written by Raymond E. Feist for Dynamix Inc. Feist, whose Serpentwar Saga has sold millions of copies and established him as one of the most popular fantasy authors of modern times, also wrote this novelization which places the action of the game in the context of his fully-realized fantasy setting, Midkemia.

Feist's fans are legion. Longtime readers will be delighted at the return of popular characters Pug the Wizard, Squire Locklear, and others, as they face the menace of a marauding elf war-chieftain and a mysterious cabal of wizards. But first-time Feist readers may find Krondor the Betrayal baffling and tiresome--without the momentum of the larger series, much of the story's effect is diminished. The video game influence in this book is unmistakable--as evidenced by an encumbrance of sword fights, multilevel conspiracy, and two-dimensional characters. Anyone who enjoys reading about Midkemia will be thrilled to play the demonstration version of the CD-ROM game (included with the book). --Brendan J. LaSalle --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Publishers Weekly

Based on the award-winning Betrayal at Krondor computer game, this launch of a new series set in Feist's popular Riftwar world (Magician, etc.) lacks originality but offers plenty of action and enough familiar and new characters to keep loyal fans of Feist and that computer game happy. Squire Locklear has been sent to the Northlands after some trouble with a married man's wife. There, he captures Groath, a renegade Dark Elf who warns him that the Dark Elves are again rising up in a plot against the humans. The dream name "Murmandamus" has been revived and all manner of folk are flocking to his banner, even though those few in the know are aware that Murmandamus was simply a ruse in the last war, an illusion in which the Dark Elves were forced to believe and for which they were made to give their lives. Together, the Squire and the Elf travel to give this dire news to the Prince of Krondor, meeting along the way young Owyn, a magician with more desire than skill. Also joining in the deeds of derring-do are Jimmy the Hand, a former thief now promoted to King's Man, and Patrus, a field magician who was Owyn's first mentor. As disasters pile up, these valiant hunks struggle to foil the various evil plots that surround them before the Riftworld is embroiled in yet another messy interdimensional battle. Women barely make an appearance in this book, and the writing can be sloppy, but because in SF familiarity so often breeds content, those who played the game and now want to read the story may not care.

4.0 out of 5 stars Satisfying But I Want More!!!, Mar 25 2004
By 
John Chin (Mechanicsville, VA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Krondor The Betrayal (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was not so bad as so many thought it was. If you expect gold all the time then you'll know disappointment. However for those of us who keep an open mind and understand that this book was based on a game AND enjoy the fact that we are blessed to get to see Jimmy and his best friend Locklear, it is just good enough. Those two joker's alone are worth the book. I hate to ruin things for any newbies, but all I can say is cherish them as long as you can. And they explain so much in the foreshadow of Prince of the Blood.

Now I'd like to say I want more! Who the heck is the Crawler? Why is he so powerful to have Keshian allies? Maybe he or she is Keshian. Or a mage? Maybe a Keshian Mage? And poor William...*sigh*. I did pre-order my Talon Part 2 book but PLEASE finish this series. I wanna know!

Thank you, a fan who cannot get enough.

1.0 out of 5 stars What is this-Diablo II?, Nov 6 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Krondor, the Betrayal (Hardcover)
The worst thing that ever happened to Raymond Feist was when he made a bunch of money writing the screenplay for a role-playing game. His last several books are nothing but plots for computer games. Go to this location, find this item, take it to this individual. Go find a certain cave, kill the monster, take his stuff. Blech.
Forget his Legacy Series-it is not worth your time. Now the Riftwar Saga and Serpentwar Saga, that is Fantasy at its best!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Wonderful World of Feist, Nov 3 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Krondor The Betrayal (Mass Market Paperback)
A Review by Trevor

Owyn, Gorath, and a duo of the princes' personal squires are in a desperate struggle to save the world. A Moredhel chieftain claimed that Murmandamus, the only Moredhel to successfully unite the Dark Elves clans, was alive and entombed in Sethenon, an ancient city in the Kingdom. The Moredhel were being used as pawns by the Tsurani Great Ones to find and destroy Midkemia's "ultimate weapon".

Feist has once more created a wonderful book full of action and tragedy. An award-winning computer game based on this book and two sequels were made to please his fans after the book came out. Raymond E. Feist is a wonderfully talented writer and entertainer. I would recommend this book to anyone who has read any of Feist's books before and to anyone who likes good books.
