The message from the past is clear. Two elf friends must die.

Giants disappeared from the planet Portalis sixteen thousand years ago, yet they may well hold the key to saving three galaxies from certain destruction by the massed demon hordes. In a last ditch effort to save all that is good in the universe, Wizard Scout Richard Shepard and his friends are given missions in the past to find the missing keys necessary to stop the demons once and for all. Whether they will be able to succeed depends on their internal fortitude and courage in the face of incredible odds.

To make matters worse, three High Priestesses of the Lady of the Tree are required for their missions to have any chance of success. The problem is that only one high priestess has ever been alive at the same time. How can even a wizard scout overcome a seemingly impossible obstacle like that?

Against insurmountable odds, Wizard Scout Richard Shepard battles against armies of orcs, massed waves of undead, hordes of demons, and something so powerful even demons fear it. And Wizard Scout Shepard must to do it all without even knowing who he is or why he is there.

Such is the life of a wizard scout.

love this series, saw a new book was available and read it untill i was finished... it does get a tiny bit confusing in places due to the time bubbles bit more becasue a whole bunch of people are in them from differrnt times and it sort of skips over how he gets the sliver from the person who's holding onto it...
as for his powers its blatently obvious he should have access to them the second his memories come back to him...

the masters variable keeps getting bent out of shape by interactions with the oposition leader who's blatently running a really naff psyche game (which he should be both wise to and immune to thanks to his training)

still all that asside i hope there are plenty more books coming out in this series and that they dont take as long to come out :)

Help me read more books

The story continues, and while it does make progress, I'm not sure all of the book was strictly necessary. Sure, it's supposed to make the story better, and it probably does, but I'm thinking this series is taking a page out of the wheel of time series, where it drew out the story just to make it longer, not for any real story related reason. There's a lot that happened in this book that only added to the story in small increments, and while that counts as progress to be sure, I'm not sure that's the best way to handle things. Regardless though, I'll keep reading the series, because I like it, slow speed or not, and for what it's worth, that's the whole point of adding extra books isn't it?

Awesome book!

What an awesome continuation of the Intergalactic Wizard Scout Chronicles! This is one of the best, most engaging series I have ever read. I can't wait for more books featuring Rick, Jeena and their friends! Keep churning out the awesome stories Rodney!

Time travel in a time bubble

A time bubble in A time bubble like nesting dolls is enough to make your brain hurt.
Great characters with realistic situations and lots of action and adventure.
I look forward to the next one 😀

Tying ends makeing history

The end is near. A lot of the illsavored behaviour has been cleansed as has the protagonist's act.

The story converges and I am for one excited
