The Magician

Spider World #5

by Colin Wilson

Niall, now ruler of the spider city, is horrified by a brutal murder that threatens the delicate relationship between the spiders and humans who share the city. Niall uses his psychic ability to track down the killers, but is thwarted in his effort to solve the crime as each conspirator mysteriously dies.

The most obvious clues lead to a being Niall has only seen in a dream: The Magician.

In his quest to find the Magician, Niall makes shocking discoveries about both his own people and the rapidly evolving spiders, whose desire for peace forced them to conquer and forge an empire with the labor of human slaves.

Another great read from Colin Wilson.

Shame the next book is so ridiculously priced!

It was pretty good, it starts off slow but it goes quicker eventually, but it is just one big build up for the 4th and final? book. not a ton of action in it. you are only gonna like this book if your a fan of the series and even then, definitely the weakest in the series.

Jau buvau užmiršęs kiek suveltas yra šitų knygų išleidimas nuo originalo :) bet gerai skaitosi

Жанр опять змінився! Тепер це - детектив з домішками сайнсфікшона!
Ходячі мерці, загадочьні убійства! Автора несе по-взрослому)
Неплохо.

Probably the best book in the Spider World series for me. I enjoyed the murder mystery angle, and the problems Niall has to go through as the new ruler of the spiders. I also enjoyed the insights into the spider mentality and culture. It was a nice, quick read.
