Now that Gan Moondark and his allies protect a delicate peace, Rose Priestess Sylah knows she must leave The Three Kingdoms and take up the responsibility left to her by her late Abbess. Sylah must find the mysterious Door, foretold by legend to hold the power of the ancients. Sylah prepares to leave on her journey, accompanied by Priestess Lanta, Donnacee Tate, and Matt Conway. But Church is fearful of the power Sylah seeks, and have condemned her quest as heresy. They are determined to stop her, at any cost. Unbeknownst to Sylah, Tate and Conway have their own mission. They suspect The Door could be another cryogenic crèche, or an ancient military installation. If they're correct, the repercussions of uncovering it could be severe. But if they're ever going to learn what's behind The Door, they must first survive the perilous journey to find it.
This book continues the story that began with The Moondark Saga Books 1-3 . Included in Wanderer :
Don McQuinn is an American best-selling author and retired U.S. Marine. He was born in Winthrop, Massachusetts, and lived in several places before moving to Texas. Don graduated from Galena Park HS, and after a year of military school in Minnesota he won a USNROTC scholarship to the University of Washington.
After graduating with a BA in English, Don served twenty years in the Marines. He served the first half of his career as an infantry officer and the second half as an intelligence officer, including tours in Korea and Vietnam. He retired as a Major in 1971 and started his new career as an author not long after.
His books have won major awards and been on bestseller lists, and he's written in genres that range from science fiction to contemporary literary fiction. He lives in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with his three grown sons.
Perhaps not as strong as Warrior, the Wanderer series is still a lot of fun with some terrific surprises along the way. Good blend of sci fi and fantasy elements. Stick with it to the end, the setup for Witches is the best part.
Not quite as good as the first set, but more than worthwhile reading. Makes me thing that I should really know more about how things work today so I could have a chance in this type of situation :)
