The Rover #4
The Quest for the Trilogy: A Rover Novel of Three Adventures
The secret to protecting the civilized world from an ancient threat may lie in the pages of three books…and it is up to master librarians of the past and present to secure these pages of knowledge.
Set in the years after Lord of the Libraries , young halfer Juhg is still growing into his job as Grandmagister when an ally from the past, the wizened wizard Craugh returns with warnings of an ancient threat that may resurface--the so-called "Kharrion's Wrath" which endangers the existence of the world. Juhg must now unlock the secrets contained in the journals of his now absent mentor Wick, the former Grandmagister and legendary hero known as "The Rover." He must also continue his documented but clandestine search for a trilogy of books, which brings him through many different realms of their very dangerous world…and into conflict and contact with other races (elves, dwarves, and men) whose fates are all intertwined among the pages of the great book of Time. The Quest for the Trilogy weaves three separate quests into one as the young historian races against the clock to protect not just his world, but all others as well.

February 28, 2025I thought it was a great series in a great setting.
Over the years, I was hoping Mel Odom would return to the setting but sadly I don't think it will happen.

4th book in the series. If you've read this far, this book is certainly worth continuing!
he book changes format: most of the book is Juhg reading Wick's journal as he is going through his own adventure.
Parent rating: graphic fights, no indecency.

I read somewhere around May and it is Sept.
This book is the last in the series and it ties up everything. I liked them enough to read them all, but am kind of glad there is no more. A new series could be started along the same lines, though.

The questing for books and then telling what was in each book made it a bit disjointed and confusing at times who you were following while reading. There also seemed to be a large logic flaw at the end.

The latest in a series of books about a race of little people who become, after a cataclysm, librarians, or keepers of the world's knowledge as found in books.

This was the best series I've read in a long time, it kept my interest through out. I hope Mel Odom brings out more stories like these.
