Book Description

Nov 6 2012 Chathrand Voyage
“If any ambitious TV producers are looking for [a] multi-part fantasy to adapt after the success of HBO’s Game of Thrones . . . Robert Redick’s impressive Chathrand Voyage series . . . has it all.”—SFX

Robert V. S. Redick brings his acclaimed fantasy series The Chathrand Voyage to a triumphant close that merits comparison to the work of such masters as George R. R. Martin, Philip Pullman, and J.R.R. Tolkien himself. The evil sorcerer Arunis is dead, yet the danger has not ended. For as he fell, beheaded by the young warrior-woman Thasha Isiq, Arunis summoned the Swarm of Night, a demonic entity that feasts on death and grows like a plague. If the Swarm is not destroyed, the world of Alifros will become a vast graveyard. Now Thasha and her comrades—the tarboy Pazel Pathkendle and the mysterious wizard Ramachni—begin a quest that seems all but impossible. Yet there is hope: One person has the power to stand against the Swarm: the great mage Erithusmé. Long thought dead, Erithusmé lives, buried deep in Thasha’s soul. But for the mage to live again, Thasha Isiq may have to die.

This review is not about the actual book which is a fantastic conclusion to an amazing series. I am giving the book 5 stars for just the book since it is great. This main reason for this review is to warn fans that there is NO hardcover edition for this book.

On October 8th, Gollancz, decided to cancel the hardcover edition of this book. They may still have it listed on their website but both Amazon UK and the Book Depository have confirmed that this book is now only available in the trade paper back edition. The author has confirmed this, [...], on his own website and the publisher has stated it on twitter at [...]. A lot of the problem has been that libraries are not buy as many hardcover books and that is where the bulk of hardcover editions are sold to.

On his website, Robert Redick, has asked fans who want a hardcover editon to email him so he can get numbers to take back to either Gollancz or another one to convince them that there is enough interest in getting a hardcover edition made. I was fortunate to be able to talk to Robert at World Fantasy this year and he was very disappointed that this happened.

I have tried to find a way to inform Amazon about this change but they don't seem to have an easy way to contact them about these type of mistakes on their site. If you have ordered this edition you will need to cancel your order and order either the UK edition or the US Del Rey edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best in Series;One of the Best Period Mar 29 2013
By Paul C Baumann - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I enjoyed the first books in this series, but this last one exceeded even those expectations. Constant dramatic action, great personal interplay among characters, the crucial use of seemingly insignificant events presented in the previous stories (long range planning), and the consistency of sticking with the universe as formed (no strange Gods appearing in the final moments) put this book (and the author) among the very best, such as Robin Hobb, C.J. Cherryh, and (dare I say it) J.R.R.Tolkien.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Superbly Crafted Epic That I Couldn't Put Down Mar 2 2013
By Aaron Jensen - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I can't recommend "The Chatrand Voyage" quartet highly enough. It is my new favorite fantasy series. (Previous favorites include "The Belgariad" by David Eddings, "The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara" by Terry Brooks, and the Thomas Covenant books by Stephen R Donaldson.)

This is a superbly crafted story, in an incredibly detailed world, filled with real characters with a plot that carries you with it from beginning to end. Loved, loved, loved it.

The world of Alifros is fully developed with great care and craftsmanship. There are races, countries and creatures that all have their own deep and detailed history, culture, and traditions, of which we only get to see the surface. This gives the books authenticity, like the author is from Alifros and has somehow managed to move into ours. Alifros, its peoples and creatures, is one of the more important characters. The author's blood, sweat, and tears in capturing, creating, realizing, and crafting this world are on every page.

The characters get the same dedication. Each is unique, with distinct personalities, emotions, and lives. Again, they are authentic and real. What happens to them, happened to me. I quickly fell in love with the heroes, and was emotionally invested in their entire journey. They feel like friends and I miss them. The effects of their journey still emotionally resonate with me.

Even though the series is comprised of four not-short books, the plot was never slow. It was paced very well, and it was hard to put the books down. The plot, too, is authentic and real. I think this is partially because the characters were so well crafted that I cared about them, and wanted to know what was going to happen to them next. There aren't any plot holes or continuity problems. Events progress orderly, naturally, logically, and sensibly.
