Product Description

Product Description

Three thousand years before, the monstrous Dark had sprung from loathsome underground lairs to destroy most of humanity. Now they were again ravening and ruining in their blood-hunger. Only a few thousand people had managed to find refuge in the ancient fortress Keep of Renweth.
There, even the magic of the wizard Ingold Inglorion could offer them little hope against the Dark.
To defeat the savage horror, they must gain help from the Hidden City of Quo, to which all other wizards had been summoned. But Ingold could not pierce the walls of illusion that separated Quo from the world.
With his student, Rudy Solis, the old wizard set out to cross two thousand miles of dangerous desert to the City of Wizards.
What he might find there he could not know -- and dared not guess! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Three thousand years before, the dreadful Dark had sprung from underground lairs to destroy most of humanity. Now they are back, and only a few thousand people have managed to find refuge in the ancient fortress of Renweth.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good series, but not the best book in it, Feb 8 2001
By Merryl Gross (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"The Walls of Air" is the sequel to Hambly's "The Time of the Dark". Although the characters are just as interesting to watch as in the previous book, the events move along much more slowly. I'd say that this book suffers from middle-book-itis, as it mostly spends time setting things up for the third book, "The Armies of Daylight".

I think that the SF Book Club published this trilogy in one volume many years ago; if you are new to the Darwath books, try getting that one volume instead of buying this reprint edition.

This is one of my favorite series by one of my favorite authors. If you have a low tolerence for journeys mental and spiritual, you'll find this book pretty sleep-inducing.

I actually liked it, but I like to watch Ingold work, and I find Gil's learning process and scholarly work facinating. There's lots of both in this book, unlike the more exciting first and last books.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorites!, April 19 1998
This whole series is delightful and if Ms. Hambly writes as many of these as Anne McCaffrey's Pern and Andre Norton's Witch World, I wouldn't complain. An excellent sequel.
