Synopsis
Despite opposition by his Patriarch, warrior priest Damien Vryce again seeks the assistance of the immortal sorcerer Gerald Tarrant. While racing against time to prevent the enslavement of their world, the two men find themselves trapped between justice and retribution. Betrayal and loyalty assume ironic forms in this conclusion to Friedman's complex and compelling Cold Fire Trilogy. The richly detailed setting and strong supporting characters give substance to a tale that explores the consequences of embracing evil in the hope of achieving its redemption.
Review
The final instalment of this trilogy comes to an end, and what a climax. Celia Friedman has managed to skilfully entwine religion, sci fi and the land of the Fae into an exhilarating ride for all partaking of this adventure. The group of antagonists mature and you find yourself emotionally invested in their well being and willing them to succeed in their quest to save the human race.
Freidman has written an imaginatively rich and exciting adventure that competes competently along side of more modern Sci Fi/Fantasy series, like that of JK Rowling and David Gemmell. This is a saga worthy of any Sci Fi/Fantasy enthusiasts bookshelf!!
