The stunning sequel toThe Wayfarer Redemption Axis is a true hero, in every sense of the word. On his shoulders lies the double burden of prophecy and war. Having fulfilled the first part of the prophecy by becoming the StarMan, he now must reunite the three races inhabiting his world. It is his destiny to lead an army against his evil half-brother, to regain control of Tencendor, once the greatest land in the world. It is his destiny to be caught between the two women he loves, one the epitome of gentility, beauty, and intelligence, the other a fierce warrior with a cunning wit. And it is his destiny to be thwarted at every turn by the vicious Goragel, an insane monster bent on destroying all that Axis works to preserve . . .

Storywise, this book gets farther into the series and the charactes, and as a reader you can't help but be compelled. The problem is, the writing is still elementary in skill.

Ah. Here the series gets going! I liked this book much better than the first. While things are still moving at a moderately slow pace, secrets are being revealed and choices made. This book is a definite step up from the first one. I had trouble putting it down. I hope the rest of the series can

live up to this one.

This book gripped me to the point where I was looking for book three before I had even finished this one. Exciting.

This series started out very well, but then started to lose its way a bit in this book. Only the Star Man can save the people from the coming darkness, but can the Star Man survive to become the Star Man, and does he really want to be one? What of the women involved in his life, which will be his

true companion? Unfortunately, there are a few too many betrayals in this book, and the tired theme of 'church vs. natives' is beaten to death again in this book. There are some original concepts and some good writing, but nothing spectacular.

Axis reunites Tecendor and a little more of the mystery is revealed. Good fantasy brain candy.
