Guardians of the Flame #4-5
Guardians of the Flame: Legacy
When it all began, it was just supposed to be a game: Seven college students sitting down for an evening of role playing. But a real wizard intervened, and the students found themselves in a world where magic worked—too well—with their only way home the near-mythical Gate Between Worlds.
Years later, their earthlike existence now seems like a fading dream. They have fought and tricked their way into positions of power, seeking justice for all and the abolition of slavery. But they have also made many powerful and dangerous enemies. And one of these in particular has decided that the time is ripe for eliminating these idealistic troublemakers once and for all. . . .
At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Joel Rosenberg was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and raised in North Dakota and Connecticut. His occupations have included driving a truck, caring for the institutionalized retarded, bookkeeping, gambling, motel desk-clerking, and passing himself off as a head chef.
His first sale was an op-ed piece favoring nuclear power, appearing in The New York Times. His Guardians of the Flame novels have been bestsellers, and given him a huge readership in fantasy. His science fiction novels, including Ties of Blood, Emile and the Dutchman, Not for Glory, and Hero have been equally popular and received critical acclaim.
He lives in Minneapolis with his wife and daughters.

Books 4 and 5 actually improve the series by focusing less on Karl and more on his son Jason. This makes the books more interesting as the adventures they get involved in seem more real somehow without having a warrior around that wins every fight by just busting in and chopping heads off.
The weariness of the characters start to show, the reality of life starts to catch up with some and all in all its a pretty quick fun read.

Took some much darker turns, but didn't make them worth the change in tone. Tough to re-read a lot of this stuff I loved as a kid.

April 26, 2019I gave up on this one about 150 into it because, not having read the previous books in the series, I couldn't get a feel for the characters.
