Review:

Praise for "The Ancient: ""Salvatore, a prolific and increasingly polished creator of fantasy sagas, launches the Saga of the First King with one of his strongest books to date."--"Booklist" "Salvatore excels in world-building and creating complex, introspective characters who triumph through wit and determination as well as skill in open combat."--"Library Journal" on R. A. Salvatore "Bob Salvatore always makes the most fantastic seem real. His heroes become friends we care about, and his foes fascinate."--Ed Greenwood on R. A. Salvatore "Salvatore excels in world-building and creating complex, introspective characters who triumph through wit and determination as well as skill in open combat."--"Library Journal" on R. A. Salvatore "Bob Salvatore always makes the most fantastic seem real. His heroes become friends we care about, and his foes fascinate."--Ed Greenwood on R. A. Salvatore "Salvatore's strongest fantasy to date. [His] potent mixture of detailed historical context, well-rounded characters (including secondary figures torn by conflicted loyalties to their church and state), brisk pacing and exciting battle scenes make for a consuming read."--"Publishers Weekly" on "The Demon Apostle" "Lacks nothing in pacing and well-handled battle scenes. This is his most ambitious book to date."--"Booklist" on "The Demon Awakens" ""Mortalis" is Salvatore at his best--and even better."--"New York Times "bestselling author Michael A. Stackpole
