Arms-Commander Arms-Commander

Publisher Description

L.E. Modesitt, Jr.'s Arms-Commander continues his bestselling fantasy series the Saga of Recluce, which is one the most popular in contemporary epic fantasy.

The keep of Westwind at the Roof of the World, faces attack by the adjoining land of Gallos. Arthanos, son and heir to the ailing Prefect of Gallos, wishes to destroy Westwind because the idea of a land where women rule is total anathema to him.

Westwind dispatches Saryn, their Arms-Commander, a neighboring land to seek support against the Gallosians. To secure their aid, Saryn must pledge her personal support—and any Westwind guard forces she can raise—to the defense of its ruler.

The fate of four lands, including Westwind, rest on Saryn's actions.

Worthy addition to a great series

One of the problems with sequels, especially those flanked in the middle of a series, is they tend to be predictable and boring. While much of the plot in "Arms Commander" can be predicted, it is never boring. The action starts with the opening chapter and builds to a satisfying conclusion. Yet, there are a few surprises awaiting the reader, and perhaps the best explanation of the world of recluse of any in the series. Add a strong and engaging female main charactor and you end up with a different spin on a success theme. Highly recommended reading.
