WarCraft
A terrifying upheaval among the highest ranks of the world's Wizards sends the maverick Mage, Rhonin, on a perilous journey into the Orc-controlled lands of Khaz Modan. What Rhonin uncovers is a vast, far-reaching conspiracy, darker than anything he ever imagined -- a threat that will force him into a dangerous alliance with ancient creatures of air and Þre if the world of Azeroth is to see another dawn.
About the Author
War. It had once seemed to some of the Kirin Tor, the magical conclave that ruled the small nation of Dalaran, that the world of Azeroth had never known anything but constant bloodshed. Read the first page

I loved this book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Warcraft: Day of the Dragon (Mass Market Paperback)
It's been awhile since I've read this book but it's still fresh in my mind. I remember all the great battles and many of the little things that one would pick up throughout the novel. I've read a few of Knaak's other books and this is definitely up to par with those. There are a couple of things that you would have had to play the game to understand but overall most of the story is new to Warcraft. For those of you that don't know, Warcraft is a role playing game for the PC. It takes place in a fantasy world of men, wizards, elves, and dwarves.The book kept me reading to the end. Everyday I would bring it to class and every chance I got I would read it. I just couldn't put this book down. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good fantasy novel. If you've played the game then you should definitely read this book. It expands on everything that was built up in the game and even makes up some new stuff as well. I guarantee that as soon as you get a couple chapters into this book you will not want to put it down.

It may make you a little lost in the first one third of the book, but it turns out really really nice plot. Can't miss it.

This review is from: Warcraft: Day of the Dragon (Mass Market Paperback)
As a long time fan of the Warcraft games, ever since its humble beginnings in the early 90's, I have often wondered about the battles that you do not hear about or participate in during the game. Day of the Dragon is an excellent story set in the final days of the Second War, after the tremendous victory of the Alliance over the Horde.I found this book impossible to put down. Normally, a book based on a video game would be received as silly and pointless. Not so with Day of the Dragon. The Warcraft saga itself has a huge, detailed story, which has always been the backbone of the games. Bringing the story to novel form not only proves to be a great idea, but a huge success as well. I felt strongly for the characters in this book, and everytime I told myself that I was going to read 'just a few more pages', I ended up spending another hour tearing through the book. True fans of Warcraft have always appreciated the deep story, and Day of the Dragon delivers. When the Second War ends, the Alliance forces begin to round up the last of the Orcs. However, internal struggles within the Alliance lead to border disputes and even the threat of war between the once allied nations. When a mysterious individual befriends noble King Terenas of Lordaeron, he is chosen to be the new leader of Alterac, a nation that betrayed and was ultimately subjugated by the Alliance during the height of the second war. The Kirin Tor of Dalaran is alarmed that they have not been informed about this, and yet a bigger threat still remains. The Dragonmaw clan still maintains control over the once free and noble Dragons. The conclave of mages selects a young, trouble-making yet resourceful wizard named Rhonin to look into this matter, accompanied by a beautiful and devoted elven ranger. Along the way, they will make new allies, and face new enemies...as well as a terrifying nemesis thought killed during the second war. This book kept me reading from beginning to end. The author's storytelling is superb and all of the facts in the book are true to Warcraft lore. There were virtually no inconsistencies, and the descriptive imagery strongly reminded me of the Warcraft games, and I was able to picture all of the events with ease. My only gripe is that the ending seemed a little rushed, as if the author realized he was running out of time or nearing his limit and had to close several of the loose ends rather quickly. Otherwise, the shocking twists and surprises in this book, combined with the excellent action sequences and engaging dialogue make this a great read for any true Warcraft fan. I recommend this strongly to those versed in Warcraft lore however, since those unfamiliar with the games may find the read too confusing or difficult, with many questions that onlyWarcraft veterans would know. Otherwise, this is probably one of the best books i've read in a while.
