The saga of Recluce, launched in The Magic of Recluce and continuing in The Towers of the Sunset and The Magic Engineer reaches a new climax in The Order War. "Modesitt has created an exceptionally vivid world," says L. Sprague de Camp, "so concretely visualized as to give the impression that Modesitt himself must have dwelt there." Publishers Weekly says, "Modesitt creates a complex world bgased on a plausible system of magic and peopled with engaging and realistic characters." Set after the events of The Magic Engineer (and prior to The Magic of Recluce) The Order War illuminates great figures and major events in the historic war between order and chaos that is the central focus of the saga of Recluce. The deadly White Wizards of Fairhaven, wielding the forces of chaos, have completed their great highway through the Westhorns and now threatened the ancient matriarchy of Sarronnyn, the last bastion of order in Candar. The ruler of Sarronnyn appeals to the Black order wizards of Recluce for help. Justen - a young Black Engineer in the city of Nylan - joins the relief force. Despite their success in destroying more than half the White armies, Sarronnyn falls to the White Wizards, and Justen is chased into the most inhospitable desert in Candar. These trials are but the beginning, for the White Wizards have all Candar in their grasp. Justen must fight both Recluce and Fairhaven, as well as the highest powers of order and the forbidden technology to harness chaos itself in his efforts to halt the conquest of the chaos wizards. The Order War is the fourth book of the saga of Recluce. Publisher: Orbit · Published: 1997 · Pages: 586 · Dimensions: 180x110x45 · Weight: 350.0g · ISBN-13: 9781857233773.…

Store description
I am an independent bookseller based in Perth, Western Australia, specialising in quality used and out-of-print books. My focus is on good reading copies and well-kept paperbacks, with a particular soft spot for literary fiction, science fiction and fantasy, crime, and interesting non-fiction that deserves a second life on someone else’s shelf. Every book is individually inspected and described. I use clear, consistent condition notes and detailed photographs so you know exactly what you’re getting before you buy. Edgewear, spine creases, inscriptions, foxing, and any other flaws are clearly noted. If a book has something special – an early printing, a nice cover design, or an interesting previous owner mark – I’ll mention that too. Orders are packed carefully to survive the postal system, using appropriate padding and sturdy packaging. Whenever possible, I reuse clean packing materials to reduce waste without compromising protection. Customer service is straightforward: if you have a question about a specific book, feel free to contact me before purchasing. I aim to ship promptly and resolve any issues fairly. Thank you for supporting a small, independent bookseller and helping keep good books in circulation.…
