The Mage-Fire War (The Saga Of Recluce book 22) by L.E. Modesitt, Jr. (book review).
‘The Mage-Fire War’ is the 22nd book of ‘The Saga Of Recluce’. but don’t let that put you off as they can mostly be read independently.

Outcasts of Order (Saga Of Recluce) by L.E. Modesitt, Jr. (book review).
On Eightday morning, I rose early and decided it was time to write the review of ‘Outcasts Of Order’ by L.E. Modesitt, Jr. After washing, I had a light breakfast of cheesed eggs with a few strips of ham accompanied by a small beaker of ale. My consort went off to do her work as […]
The Mongrel Mage (The Recluse Saga book 19) by L.E. Modesitt, Jr. (book review).
‘The Mongrel Mage’ is the 19th novel in the on-going ‘The Recluse Saga’ but you don’t have to read the other eighteen to follow it. Even so, I imagine that most people who buy this book will have some of the others and at least understand Modesitt’s magical system of order and chaos. Essentially, order […]

Imagers are men and women with a kind of […]

The One-Eyed Man by L.E. Modesitt, Jr. (book review).
A couple of years ago I read ‘Adiamante’ by L.E. Modesitt, Jr and it was excellent. It was the first of his books I’d read and up to that point I hadn’t realised he wrote Science Fiction, having only seen his fantasy books in the past. ‘The One-Eyed Man’, subtitled ‘A Fugue, With Winds And […]
