Publisher Description

Angus Wells carved a place for himself on the shelves of hundreds of thousands of fantasy readers.  Now, with Lords Of The Sky, it is clear that he has saved his most sweeping and imaginative tale for an epic more powerful than anything he has written before. For centuries, the Dhar have had to face the Ahn, fierce warriors who would lay claim to Dharbek, the land they call their ancestral home.  Now, in fantastic airships powered by magic, the Ahn have begun their greatest campaign yet.  In preparation for the coming onslaught, Storymen like Daviot travel the land collecting tales and sharing the history it's their responsibility to safeguard.  But Daviot's travels show him the dark side of Dharbek, and inspire him to be a catalyst for change, to overcome doubt and fear, and pursue the one dream that has eluded Dharbek. Using his special gifts for storytelling and world-building, Angus Wells reaches new heights with a story as ambitious as it is broad in scope. Lords Of The Sky has all the action, adventure and magic a fantasy-lover could desire, and tackles social change, prejudice, the value of genuine friendship and the power of enduring love.

James Sumners ,

1 star because of the price

When I wrote the review below the price was over $22. Now that it is a more sane price, I will up my rating to 4 stars based on my memory of the book. One I get caught up with some other reading, I will come back to this book. It's possible that I will up my rating again at that time.

I have the trade paperback of this book. I bought it when it was first published. I think I even pre-ordered it. _I like the book_, but this price is ludicrous. The price on all of the Angus Wells books needs to be brought down to reality. I would love to re-read this, and the Godwars books, on my iPad. Bit there is no way I will pay this price, or recommend anyone else do so either.

The George R.R. Martin books are ~$9. How can they be so cheap and this be so expensive?
