The Legend
of Huma
Heroes Volume 1 By Richard A. Knaak |
 |
Back Cover Text:
"To the West Huma rode, to the High Clerist's Tower
On the back of the Silver Dragon
And the path of their flight crossed over a desolate country
Where the dead walked only, mouthing the names of dragons."
For the first time in the best-selling DRAGONLANCE Saga, here is The
Legend of Huma, fabled Hero of the Lance: his mysterious origins and
his Oath to the Measure; treachery among the Knights of Solamnia; his love
for the Silver Dragon; the fated showdown between the queen of Darkness
and the forces fo Paladine.
Only fragments of Huma's story survived the Cataclysm of Krynn--until
now. Richard A. Knaak, contributor of short stories to the three
volumes of DRAGONLANCE Tales, pens the newest installment in the
compelling and richly-imagined DRAGONLANCE fantasy epic, as created by
Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman.
My Description:
This is the story of Huma Dragonbane, Knight of the Crown. In
the Third Dragon War when the Dark Queen Takhisis' forces (led by the renegade
Galen Dracos) neared victory, Huma was chosen to guide the forces of good
to victory. By Huma's side were Magius (a powerful mage and Huma's
childhood friend), Kaz the Minotaur, and the mysterious Gwyneth.
Review:
This is my favorite book of ALL time! I think Richard A. Knaak did
a splendid job on this piece. While the fate of Huma is known by
most, the actual story was unpredictable. What made this book more than
just a book about knights was the great inclusion of magic (Magius, renegade
mages, etc.). I really think Magius' citadel is my dream home (j/k).
But seriously, I believe this book has in it a great lesson about Honor,
which in today's society, is lacking in many people.
Rating: 10/10. I would like to put 11/10, but that is not
possible.
