Product Description
The haunting conclusion of a magnificent fantasy trilogy, which began with Damiano and continued with Damiano's Lute. "MacAvoy is undeniably a writer to watch for!" - Anne McCaffrey Set against the turbulent backdrop of the Italian Renaissance this alternate history takes place in a world where real faith-based magic exists. Weakened by his contact with mortals, the Archangel Raphael falls prey to his brother Lucifer, who strips him of his angelic powers. Sold in the Moorish slave markets, confused and humbled by his sudden humanity, Raphael finds his only solace in the friendship of the dark-skinned Berber woman Djoura, and the spiritual guardianship of his former pupil Damiano Delstrego. Accompanied by the rakish Gaspare and an ancient black dragon, Damiano's beloved Saara embarks on a quest to rescue Raphael. Their odyssey leads them to a shattering confrontation with the Father of Lies and a transcendent reckoning with destiny. Blending humor, pathos, adventure and romance, the two previous volumes in R.A. MacAvoy's trilogy have evoked admiration and praise from writers and readers. Raphael fulfills the promise of the trilogy to forge a magnificent, moving saga you will never forget.

Sci-Fi...,

This review is from: The Third Eagle (Mass Market Paperback)
When the warrior Wanbli came of age, he cast his lot among the stars and left the world where he'd been born. Left it, he thought, forever. His odyssey led him to one ship, then another, and to another still. It brought him face to face with the far-flung members of the universe's Seven Sentient peoples. And finally, it brought him to the colony ship Commitment. There, Wanbil learned the true purpose of his life...a mission so vital that it required risking the lives of everyone on the ship and the future of his home world. His mission meant returning to that world...but only if he could survive the deadly machinations of those who sought to stop him.

Not worth it.,
By Gary D. Bannister - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Third Eagle (Hardcover)
This is one of the few SF novels I quit reading before reaching the end... when I reached page 200 or so and still nothing interesting or significant had happened, I said, "That's it."
