Gilden-Fire is told from the point of view of Korik, the senior Bloodguard on the mission. It describes Korik's selection of the mission's Bloodguard, then narrates the mission's passage through Grimmerdhore forest, where they defeat an ambush of ur-viles and kresh (wolves). The narrative ends as the mission leaves the forest. As per the author's foreword. Gilden-Fire was originally part of a larger, planned section of The Illearth War that followed the mission to the Giants in "real time", but was cut due to space restrictions as well as point-of-view inconsistency with the rest of the Chronicles. The events during the trek through Grimmerdhore are not mentioned in the published narrative of The Illearth War, and some information shared here on the origin and motivation of the Bloodguard does appear in other contexts in the published Chronicles. The rest of the mission after the Grimmerdhore passage was included in the Chronicles, via the narrative device of Bloodguard messengers. Just wondering if all three names in your user name are the three identities of you in your in the different universes? jmccr8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that he lives on the edges of the community and they do not want him coming in to their businesses that provisions are dropped off at the end of the lane for him and his utilities paid, he is angry goes into town to pay a bill and after a series of events he collapses and wakes up in another world where he does not have leprosy and his beliefs are challenged again as he faces many fears in his life in this new world and travels back and forth between them confusing and conflicting him over and over. It is in the vein of Lord of the Rings and I did read the first 9 books from 3 series and enjoyed it quite a bit. jmccr8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one book it took him about 100 pages to move his characters a few miles down a river I don't mind descriptive writing, but i need a bit more action I've just managed to get second hand copies of two of my favourite novels; Daughter of the Empire and Mistress of the Empire. They tie into R Feist's extensive writings set in Midkemia, beginning with Magician. when Wurts and Feist write together, they produce perhaps the best fantasy of the 20th century (IMO although there are so many brilliant fantasy and science fiction authors from the second half of the 20th century) but they are also excellent as solo Authors.

Just wondering if all three names in your user name are the three identities of you in your in the different universes? jmccr8 I remember there being 6 books to this series. After the second I wanted to send Stephen R Donaldson some anti-depressants. And the series never got any better. Couldn't you have found a different example? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a worse time with Wheel of Time series, only made it through to the middle of the second one of those. That one seemed to be aimed at 20 something young men so it is amazing I made it through the first book, though I don't like to quit a book if it keeps me going past the 4th chapter. I like Heinlein, Asimov, Asprin and Bradbury to name a few. I think the reason I don't like those other books is because I have gone through some rough times, so I don't understand your reasoning, though I know I don't have to understand.

Things can get really bad but there is always someone I think has it worse somehow. But I prefer my entertainment to include some hope or at least some humor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
