Product Description

When it all began, it was just supposed to be a game: Seven college students sitting down for an evening of role playing. But a real wizard intervened, and the students found themselves in a world where magic worked-too well-with their only way home the near-mythical Gate Between Worlds. Years later, their earthlike existence now seems like a fading dream. They have fought and tricked their way into positions of power, seeking justice for all and the abolition of slavery But they have also made many powerful and dangerous enemies. And one of these in particular has decided that the time is ripe for eliminating these idealistic troublemakers once and for all...

5.0 out of 5 stars delightful combining of two 1980s epic fantasies, Jun 20 2004
By Harriet Klausner - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
"The Heir Apparent". The wizard brought role playing college students Karl, Andrea and five other Earthlings through the Gate Between Worlds. Over time Karl became the Emperor and he and his beloved Andrea had a child Jason while the magnificent seven fought against slavery. The dwarves, elves, humans, and the dragon Ellegon mentor Jason until Ahrmin the Master Slaver apparently kills Karl. Living in the shadows of his heroic parents has inadvertently overwhelmed his self esteem and now he failed in his first battle. To prove his worthiness he believes he must kill his dad's enemy.

"The Warrior Lives". With Karl declared officially dead, Jason takes over throne, but has doubts he can come close to matching the legacy of his renowned father. Still he leads the inner circle of warriors and Ellegon to battle the deadly Slavers Guild. However, he learns that an enigmatic message has been placed on the enemy's dead. Could his father be alive as the note states: "The Warrior Lives!" Jason needs to know the truth.

GUARDIANS OF THE FLAME: LEGACY is the delightful combining of two 1980s epic fantasies that hold up quite well and seem to belong together in one longer saga though both tales can stand alone. The book is a coming of age chronicle starring a delightful hero filled with reservation and uncertainty about living up to the legends of his illustrious parents (kind of like the son of Michael Jordan playing basketball). Though similar in many ways to other epic fantasy tales, Legacy is a fabulous reading experience as the next generation struggles with living up to the bar set by his incredible parents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific, Jun 14 2004
I read these two books when they first came out, years ago. I was both pleased and surprised to find that they were even better.

5.0 out of 5 stars In his fathers footsteps..., Jun 9 2004
The son of an aging Emperor faces his first battle--and fails. Running scared, he realizes that he cannot return without proving himself, without making something of himself. The one thing he can think to do--something that even HE hasn't been able to do--is killing his father's greatest enemy.

The Heir Apparent carries us through this rite of passage along with Jason, reminding us that its not easy growing up, let alone growing up in the shadow of successful parents. The Warrior Lives takes us along on a search for Jason's now missing father whose shadow is still hanging over the boy. He comes into his own, making sure that the Legacy of his father not only isn't dimmed, but that the Flame burns brighter than ever.

A highly recommended read. Engaging characters and edge-of-your-seat action make it hard to put this one down.
