In all the prequels, the one transition we've all been curious about is - how does our hero transition from the leader of a street gang of ragtag orphans to The King's Man?
It comes in an unusual way, but one that unfolds naturally (and in a VERY entertaining fashion - a Michael Wisehart trademark). It takes a seasoned author to take a complicated political Gordian Knot and carefully unravel it without without ham-handed hatchet chopping, and Mr. Wisehart does not disappoint.
Quite the contrary - the author DELIGHTS in his efforts to entertain and deliver ANOTHER solid entry into this unfolding saga. The natural laying out of this amazing series is reminiscent of the resurgence of the Conan series in the '70's and '80's. Robert E. Howard's archetypal character lay dormant for nearly 40 years (Howard wrote the Conan stories in the pulp magazines of the '30's) until they exploded into the paperback world in the '60's, leading the charge of the Sword and Sorcery avalanche which continues to dominate popular fantasy.
After all Howard's tales were fully published, other authors started writing stories of the Cimmerian's long and storied history, filling in the blanks of obvious gaps in his life. Some of these were wonderful, some strained, many somewhere in between.
Mr. Wisenhart has had complete control of the entire history of his characters, and the result has been the slow unfolding of a masterpiece omnibus. It starts out with one of our primary characters - Ayrion - entering the stage as a fully formed character with a sketchy,largely undefined background...
That background has been revealed in depth BY THE AUTHOR - with a breathtaking amount of intimate details that excite and satisfy.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - Mr. Wisehart is slowly creating an epic fantasy series that will stand the test of time and rival the fantasy standards of the last century. If you aren't reading Wisehart now, you should be. You will NOT be disappointed!
