by D.H. Aire

In order to return to Earth, George must reach the Imperial Capital and find Highmage Alrex, who summoned him across reality. Accompanied by his an elfblooded healer, a shape-changing little girl, and four swordswomen, bound by honor, George must cross an entire province without the Demonlord’s minions finding him. So, seeking to keep a low profile, George decides to travel disguised as a merchant, however, as the adage goes “best laid plans…” Merchants and mages alike will find this foreigner disturbing the status quo. But more than trade is being upended. Unbeknownst to those tasked to defend the Empire, the Demonlord is about to invade, using a suborned human army. Perhaps worst of all, George’s horse seems to have an agenda of her own. Welcome to Merchants and Mages, the sequel to Highmage’s Plight.

Reviews

[Steven Oliver_Author]

After reading the first book (skip in a few chapters to George's appearance), and getting used to (tho' still being thrown by) the abrupt point of view (character) changes between paragraphs (no warning notation such as "***" or "###", I read this second book quickly because I enjoyed the story. I got the third book which I am now reading.
I enjoyed reading this (except for the abruptness of character viewpoint changes).

Great story but poor page layout and editing

The story was good and enjoyable but the editing and pagination was terrible. It was very hard to keep the various parties and situations clear as the sentances flowed one into the other without a reference break. The story has potential but the presentation makes it almost unreadable.

Very entertaining read

I enjoyed reading this book very much and would recommend it highly to anyone that like space opera with fantisy.

the author should have read it a (first?) second or third time before he published the book
