Soarer's Choice
The Corean Chronicles
Book 6 (Hardcover)
|
L.E. Modesitt, Jr. returns to the world of Corus
and concludes the trilogy of the intertwined stories of Dainyl, the
Alector, and Mykel, the native soldier, which began in Alector's
Choice and Cadmian's Choice.
The civilization of the Alectors, which has farmed and developed all
life on Corus to produce sustaining life force for their vampiric
civilization, must move wholesale from one planet to another every
few thousand years as it exhausts the life force of another world.
This time, two worlds have been prepared, and the time is at hand
for the great move. And Corus is the looking like the loser, to be
abandoned by the civilizing forces of the government of Alectors,
but used as a dumping ground for malcontents and others who don’t
make the cut to move on to a richer new world. This neither bodes
well for the future of human civilization, nor for the honest
Alector’s such as Dainyl, trying to hold everything together, as all
systems are failing. But the mysterious Ancients, the Soarers, are a
force to be reckoned with, and they may hold a powerful and
destructive trump card.

The Corean Chronicles
Book 5 (Hardcover) |
" L.E. Modesitt, Jr. uses his fabulous world-building skills to
introduce a new fantasy world of ancient magic. . . . Strange
creatures or supernatural beasts are glimpsed but not yet explained.
This introductory novel is an intriguing study in contrasts with its
elements of Talented vs. normal, female vs. male leadership,
prosperity vs. poverty."

The Corean Chronicles
Book 4 (Hardcover)

"A powerful,
enthralling and exciting fantasy epic. All the questions of the
previous two books (LEGACIES and DARKNESS) are finally answered and
all the loose ends are tied up. The protagonist is a hero for going
into battle against an enemy that is more powerful than he is. His
love for his wife adds a romantic dimension that humanizes the
larger than life champion. Scepters is an outstanding fantasy."

The Spellsong War...that's a good indication for any reader that
Modesitt tells a damned good tale."—Anne McCaffrey
"Reading any novel in the series invites the reader to fill in the
picture of a tangible setting some critics have compared to
Tolkien's Middle-Earth."--Amarillo Sunday News-Globe on the
