Sorry that I haven't been around to post regarding the books I've been reading lately. I have been slowly getting through Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy. It's very good if you're deep into science fiction, for me, it's a bit much so I'm taking it slowly. I do play the game that was based on the book on occasion, Anacreon, and recently there was some kind soul who updated the game (neurohack, thank you) and although it isn't much more than it was, it's a lot better than looking at a few blips on the screen in DOS. Anyway, onto the Dark War Saga.

I have been working my way through the books by Feist regarding his world, Midkemia, for years now. I absolutely adore his way of writing. Midkemia is coming up against another huge war and Kelewan is involved now as well (the Tsurani home world). Pug and the Assembly of Magicians are working together in order to prevent the 2nd plane of existence from invading the first, which they live on. Pug, his son Magnus, Nakor and a new member of the group, Ralen Bek, are on a pilgrimage of sorts to the capital of the Dasati race in order to try and prevent this war from occurring. I don't know exactly what they plan to do and Pug sending himself messages from the future is a bit disconcerting regarding this in itself. Yes, that's right. Pug is sending himself messages from the future.

I also wish to mention that Macros the Black is back in the picture. I will not tell you where or what or how. Just that he is and you'll have to read the saga in order to find out why he is and what is going on with him. Turns out he got his just desserts, though.

This book is the second of this part of the Saga. So there isn't as much information as I would like. A lot of different people doing things and their stories being told. We've also been following someone on the Dasati plane to learn about him and that, of course, takes a very interesting twist as well.

So now, with all the information I have gained on what the Conclave, Pug and his travelling band, and the Dasati are doing I wait patiently for the next book to come out. Flight of the Nighthawks is the first book in the Saga and the next book is Wrath of a Mad God. It's really best to have read the entire series before delving into these books. It probably isn't entirely necessary, but you'd be better off knowing the entire story instead of starting somewhere in the middle of it.
