The Crawler: a name whispered in fear…
In the crime-ridden back alleys of Krondor a rival gang has sprung up to threaten the Upright Man’s Mockers. Does the Crawler control the rival gang? Where does his power come from? And does it threaten the peace of the Kingdom?
James, personal squire to Prince Arutha of Krondor, but in the underworld known as the thief and trickster Jimmy the Hand, must travel to Kesh in disguise. There, working with William, lieutenant of the prince’s household guard and son of the magician Pug, and Jazhara, niece to the Keshian lord Hazara-Khan, he must attempt to unmask the mysterious Crawler and rid Krondor of his influence.

Overpriced
A good book but overpriced for only 160 pages. I have deducted 2 stars because of the price would have had 5 stars at half this price
Absolute Sheep Dip
As a massive fan of Raymond E Feist and the entire collection of books I was exited to see this book as hadn't read this yet and it had one of my favourite characters James or Jimmy the hand as lead and also may explain the disappearance of Jazherra. What I read may as well have been written by some cheap new author as no sense of the characters emerged. Bearing in mind this was written after tear of the gods and several other stories with these same characters so the feeling of them should have been there but wasn't. Apart from that every aspect of this book refuted what was learned in previous books, had no real plot or storyline and fell back on the now tired explanation of it was a demon so no need to explain further. I have been both elated and disappointed in books within the varied series but never before have I thought a book was simply written for either a bot more money or due to contractual obligations till now. Utter rubbish, poorly constructed, pathetically delivered and overpriced by 100%. I hope readers don't read these as timeline suggests as no one will read another Raymond Feist after this
Expensive for 100 pages
A good continuation of the story but only 100 pages on my iPad and the rest is advertising for his other works, a shame.
