Review:

A wide assortment of characters, both good and not so good, make it difficult to know whom to trust and whom to count as an enemy . . . spellbinding adventure, narrow escapes, and a heartwarming ending . . . highly recommended.—Booklist on Knight's Odyssey: The Return of Henry Fountain

W. Michael Farmer is brilliantly convincing. It's hard to wait to read the continuation of this unique saga.
