Dark Wizard
Thomas thought he understood the enemy. He was wrong.
Some evils refuse to stay buried.
When a desperate search for answers leads Thomas to the isolated world of Ferraden, he discovers that Turquine's ambitions run deeper than anyone imagined. What began as a hunt for a rogue Draconite has become something far more dangerous.
As the final pieces of an ancient puzzle fall into place, Thomas will learn that some battles can't be won with starships and swords. Some enemies require a different kind of courage entirely.
The darkness is spreading. Time is running out. And somewhere in the void, an evil older than empires works to remake the galaxy in its own twisted image.
The dark wizard has returned.

great read
MR Forbes has written an excellent book, keeping the reader spellbound. The story moved along quickly and the incorporation of the dwarves added an additional layer to an already complex storyline. We look forward to the next book as we process the incredible loss at the end and the dread we know will arise from it.

Dark Wizard in book 7 of the Starship in Stone series.
Sir Drake and his crew must unite in the search for the hidden fortress. In order to do it, he must gather the forces of the freedom fighters and the mercenary fleets in the search. He must also form an unlikely truce with the Draconite in order to accomplish the task. Fast paced with plenty of action.

Dark Wizard Doesn’t Disappoint
Another great addition to The Starship In The Stone. The only disappointment was reaching the end of the book. Can’t wait for the release of book 8.
