Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

A paranoid ex-sorcerer attempts to take over a world of imps, fauns, dwarves, trolls, pixies and other races in this sequel to The Cutting Edge . After the death of his father, young Imperor Emshandar V (known to all as Shandie) is urged to flee by the dwarf warlock Raspnex, a member of the council that controls magic in the Impire. Raspnex warns that his nephew Zinixo has enthralled an army of sorcerers to help him take over the Impire and then the world. Joined by King Rap of Krasnegar, who has lost much of his power, Shandie, his family and a small band of followers escape, planning to foment a counterrevolution with a new Protocol governing magic. The group splits up: Shandie heads to Krasnegar to find Rap's prescient 14-year-old son, whose fate is mysteriously linked with that of the Imperor; Rap tracks rumors about slaves and a possible liberator; Lord Umpily noses around the capital; and Sir Acopulo searches for the other council members. Duncan plots a lively adventure with appealing protagonists capable of carrying the tale through the next two planned volumes.

From Library Journal

With the Imperior dead and the land of Pandemia under attack by a mad wizard, Shandie, the heir to the throne, must fight a running battle to restore order to a battered world. Multiple plot lines develop their own momentum as a queen and her children abandon safety to search for a missing loved one and a king discovers an ally in an unlikely place. Libraries needing good series fantasy are advised to consider this well-detailed adventure set in a uniquely imagined world.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of a series, Feb 22 2004
By raleighhorn (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Upland Outlaws (Mass Market Paperback)
While I loved the light touch and deft humor of the first series (Man of His Word), this series has a much darker and heavier tone. Duncan pulls it off in the first book (Cutting Edge), introducing more nuanced characters than the first series.

But he goes completely off the rails in this book (and its successors). First of all, the first 20-30 pages are almost an exact retelling the of end of the first book. Next, he bounces us from character group to character group never allowing the reader to get involved in anyone new. Characters that we knew in the first series act in strange ways. And finally, the series takes dark turns and with the lack of sympathetic new characters, the turns are fairly pointless.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is what a book should be like, Jan 16 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Upland Outlaws (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the sequel to Dave Duncan's superb novel "Cutting Edge". One of DD specialities is preventing a second or third book in a series from being stricken by the notorious "sequel - syndrom". He keeps up with the high standard he set in "The Cutting Edge". He really must have thought about the story thoroughly before he wrote it, because there are no logical flaws in it as in some other sequels (by other authors, of course). I hope all of his future books will be of the same quality as this one. If you enjoy fantasy, humour, intelligent writing and fun this is the one for you.
