Synopsis

Since the publication of THE PRICE OF THE STARS, Debra Doyle and James D. MacDonald's Mageworlds novels have been among the finest swashbuckling SF adventures in the field. In the most recent volume, THE STARS ASUNDER, Arekhon sus - Khalgath, sus-Peledaen abandoned his native planet for a new life on the far side of the Gap Between - the starless rift separating the Eraasian worlds from the rest of the galaxy. Now, on the planet Entibor, he has found shelter and domestic tranquillity with his old love, Elaeli Inadi, at the price of what he may have left behind: a dispersed and shattered Mage-Circle, an estranged brother who had tried to kill him, and a homeworld on the cusp of massive cultural upheaval. Arekhon finds himself impelled homeward by strange dreams and prophetic visions. The Great Working - the effort to do the unthinkable and reunite a galaxy long sundered by the Gap Between - remains incomplete, left unfinished in the aftermath of the dissolution of Arekhon's Mage-Circle. But too much energy and too many lives have been poured into the Working already; and it cannot end so long as any of the Circle members remain alive and bound into it.
