Product Description
In the first chapter of this epic trilogy, the outcome of the historic War of the Ancients is forever altered by the arrival of three time-lost heroes: Krasus, the dragon mage whose great power and memories of the ancient conflict have inexplicably diminished; the human wizard Rhonin, whose thoughts are divided between his family and the seductive source of his now-growing power; and Broxigar, a weathered orc veteran who seeks a glorious death in combat. But unless these unlikely allies can convince the demigod, Cenarius, and the untrusting night elves of their queen's treachery, the burning Legion's gateway into Azeroth will open anew. And this time -- the struggles of the past may well spill over into the future...
About the Author
The tall, forbidding palace perched atop the very edge of the mountainous cliff, overlooking so precariously the vast, black body of water below that it appeared almost ready to plummet into the latter's dark depths. Read the first page

A MUST HAVE for fantasy-readers and WarCraft players alike!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Warcraft: War of the Ancients #1: The Well of Eternity (Mass Market Paperback)
I decided to check it out based on the good reads I got from the StarCraft series (Check those out too!), and then I saw the title: The Well of Enterity. You don't have to have played the computer game or read Day of the Dragon, and this book will still make perfect sense to you. Although there are some things that only a person who has played the computer and read through the History of WarCraft from the 100 page manuals(I wonder who does that :) Amazingly well written; Richard Knaak gives each character a unique personality. I would go into the plot, but I think Amazon has already given you a better description then I could.*goes back to digging through WarCraft history*

Venjur,

This review is from: Warcraft: War of the Ancients #1: The Well of Eternity (Mass Market Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and read it in about 3 days. Anyone who is a fan of the games will greatly enjoy the insight into many of the characters that are in the game, but are not very well expanded on in the games (Cenarius, Malfurion/Illidan/Tyrande triangle, etc.). Also, if you are a fan of the book Day of the Dragon, you will also enjoy it as it continues the story of 3 of the characters from that book. Although it mainly centers on just 2 (Rhonin and Krasus). The book overalll does a fine job fleshing out the bits of history you pick up from the games and other books. I can't wait for part 2, The Demon Soul!

Lots of fun for fans of the series.,

This review is from: Warcraft: War of the Ancients #1: The Well of Eternity (Mass Market Paperback)
First, I highly recommend that you read Warcraft: Day of the Dragon (another Knaak book) before this one. Think of it as a sort of prequel to the War of the Ancients trilogy, like The Hobbit is to the Lord of the Rings trilogy.Not that I'm comparing the book to LotR. It's not an amazing, genre-defining work, but it's a whole lot of fun for Warcraft fans and fantasy fans. It's filled with lots of interesting characters - not just Krasus, Rhonin, and Broxigar, but also some familiar names from the games: Furion, Illidan, Tyrande, Cenarius, and others that I won't spoil. It deals primarily with the Night Elves, and details the Burning Legion's first invasion (the second and final was covered in Warcraft III). It also tells a lot about the Dragon Aspects, the 5 caretakers of the planet. This isn't just a slow build-up to the next two books in the trilogy. It's full of amazing and important events and battles, and leaves you wondering where it could possibly go in the second and third books. All in all, this is a great start to what will probably be an even greater series. Warcraft fans should definitely not miss this one.
