Closing in…From almost the first day I arrived in Valorae, having been abducted by dark magical creatures, I’ve had one thing on my kill the demigod Aeyr. For all those he’s slain, including my best friend.
Here I am, with the friends and family I’ve gathered while fighting for my life in this strange world. A world so different from my own. One thing is universal, though. Tyrants whose sole purpose is to exploit and destroy people need to be put down.
In Valorae, somehow, the task fell to me.
Not that I’m complaining. If anyone is going to destroy the thousand-year-old villain who literally drains the life force from others to gain power, I’d rather it be me.
The one big problem we face is finding our enemy. He’s hiding, I’m sure of it. Waiting until he’s gained enough power to overwhelm any opposition.
But we’re closing in.
Sure, we’re following a weak trail, but it is a trail. We’ll find him and end him. The only questions are what we’ll face along the way and if we lose any of our small number doing so. There’s also the small issue of how to kill a magical entity who survived the full strength of an army of the world’s greatest power centuries ago.
It’s time for Aeyr the Ever-Hungering to die. And this time, it needs to stick.
Author Phil Aerix ends his Weaponmaster series with a bang. Actually a lot of bangs. This is the longest book of the series but it certainly doesn't seem so when you're reading it. There's so much action, fighting men & monsters as well as between the sheets, that you just can't stop turning the pages. Gar, the main character, along with a crew of exotic and highly skilled women and his friend and comic sidekick Tip, continue their quest to locate and defeat the demigod Aeyr. The ability of Aerix to juggle such a large group of characters and keep them each distinct and true to their nature is impressive. This book brings a renewed intensity to the series as the crew digs deep to fight the forces of evil and inevitably let off steam with a staggering number of orgasms. There's a lot of island hopping as they track down the sinister activities of Aeyr and a number of shocking reveals along the way. Even a few old friends join the cast to help out as befits a final episode in a rich saga like this. I've really enjoyed this entire series and Weaponmaster 8 is definitely the best one. Aerix has a real winner here.
Weapons master as a series was enjoyable. At the beginning of this last volume, there were many threads to bring together. This work adds several more stories to the main, then wraps it all together for a riveting climax. Highly recommend
