Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Elf ranger Drizzt Do'Urden and his gifted warriors go in search of a missing member of their own band in this latest fast-moving fantasy adventure from bestseller Salvatore (Servant of the Shard, etc.). In the previous episode of the Paths of Darkness series (of the Forgotten Realms umbrella series), Wulfgar the barbarian fought a demon, was possessed and supposedly killed. Now it turns out that not only is he alive but he is in need of the type of assistance at which his friends excel. Getting to Wulfgar and aiding him in his quest for Aegis-fang, his warhammer, is only part of the fun. Drizzt Do'Urden, along with Cattie-Brie, a dwarf named Bruenor Battlehammer and Regis the Halfling, often have to battle the obligatory orcs, goblins and ogres on their way to the real business at hand. A second plot involves the stalking of Drizzt Do'Urden by Le'Lorinel, a Moon elf (or pale elf, whereas Drizzt is a Drow or dark elf). The author combines some of the good versus evil of Robin Hood and his merry men, the campy heroics and friendship of The Princess Bride (including an appearance of dread pirate Sheila Kree) and a rather unfulfilled stab at race relations with Le'Lorinel's unhinged hatred for Drizzt Do'Urden. As this is the fourth novel in the subseries of a larger series, it is not for the uninitiated. Long-awaited by Salvatore's legions of fans, however, this book is as certain as its predecessors to climb bestseller charts. 10-city author tour.

Product Description

It is good to be home.It is good to hear the wind of Icewind Dale, to feel its invigorating bite, like some reminder that I am alive.

The Dark Elf

When the mark of the great warhammer Aegis-fang is found branded on the back of a vicious outlaw, Drizzt can no longer merely hope that Wulfgar is safe. The dark elf and his companions set out to find the barbarian once and for all. As they discover pieces of the puzzle their friend's life has become, Drizzt grows only more determined to locate him.

The Barbarian

As his friends search for him, Wulfgar sails with Captain Deudermont in search of the stolen Aegis-fang, now in the hands of the vile pirate Sheila Kree. But the pirate isn't willing to sit around waiting to be caught. She has other plans.

Drizzt, Cattie-brie, Regis, Bruenor, and Wulfgar -- the Companions of the Hall -- come together for the first time since The Silent Blade in a reunion filled with discovery and adventure.

The paperback version of a top-selling hardcover featuring the return of Drizzt Do'Urden, R.A. Salvatore's most popular character.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect prequal to The Thousand Orcs, Mar 14 2004
By Jeff Bradford (Norman Ok, USA) - See all my reviews
This story starts off rather slow, showing how Drizzt helped Ten Towns with their Highway men problem. But it soon picks up into the main story, getting Wulfgar and getting Aegis-Fang back from the pirates. This book is very eventful, gives wonderful battle scenes in the open sea, and does not waste time with painfully slow details. Read this book first if you want to read The Thousand Orcs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Drizzt Returns!, Sep 2 2003
By Nicq MacDonald (Sioux Falls, SD United States) - See all my reviews
In R.A. Salvatore's "Paths of Darkness" series, a certain Drow Ranger has been conspicuously absent from the action.

In "The Sea of Swords", he's back, spinning his scimitars like he never left. Expanding upon the plot of "The Spine of the World", Wulfgar, now a family man recovering from his sojourn in the Abyss, has gone in search of his hammer, Aegis-Fang. All the while, his comrades are searching for him, as well as the pirate who claimed his weapon. This exciting backdrop is combined with a subplot involving an orphaned elven warrior bent on vengeance against Drizzt for his family's death, and the growing romance between Drizzt and the human warrior Catti-Brie.

Although the plot is interesting and the action as intense as always, Salvatore once again wastes a very intriguing character (in a similiar manner to the way he killed off the remnant's of Drizzt's family in "The Legacy"), and fails to end the book on a note of completion. But these gripes aside, "The Sea of Swords" isn't a bad addition to the series.

1.0 out of 5 stars A step in the way wrong direction, Aug 20 2003
By Kevin W. Campigotoot (niagara falls, ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Despite the fact that i've loved almost all of Salvatore's other offerings this one is terrible. Many of the "action" scenes read more like slapstick than serious fights. The first two edition to this trilogy had some thought to them while this one is just a dry run on a well beaten path. Salvatore never really sells the enemy as a challenge and the group bowls the pirates over with no real challenge. Predictable, trite, and a bad ending to a good series.

Not one of Salvatore's better novels. It's the final book for the Paths of Darkness series, and it ends nice predictable fashion. Read more
