    About this ebook

    The whole of the magnificent Riftwar Cycle by bestselling author Raymond E. Feist, master of magic and adventure, now available in ebook

    Freedom at any price?

    Hartraft’s Marauders, a crack band of Kingdom raiders, are a special unit designed to infiltrate and fight behind enemy lines. They are currently heading for a frontier garrison, after a disastrous encounter with the Tsurani.

    Meanwhile, a Tsurani patrol is sent to support an assault on the same garrison. Both sides arrive at the same time and discover the garrison has been overrun by a migrating horde of moredhel (dark elves), and they are forced by circumstances to band together and fight as one unit to survive.

    The only problem is, who do they hate the most – their mutual enemy, or each other? As they make their way across the unknown Northlands to freedom, they have to struggle not only with the elements and their enemies, but also their conscience. For what is more important – one’s life or one’s honour?

    Honoured Enemy is the first book in the Legends of the Riftwar series. It is the first of three co-authored books that return to the world of Feist’s best-loved series.

      The first book in the Legends of the Riftwar series, Honored Enemy, is notable for its military descriptions, and for the strange situation two small companies of Tsurani and Kingdom soldiers find themselves in. It almost seem like the story could have been taken from a historical event in any of Earth’s wars. (Which makes sense since William R. Forstchen is also author of the acclaimed Gettysburg series, co-written with Newt Gingrich and a military historian.) Fans of military history or survival stories might find some appeal in this book, though fantasy fans are the most likely to benefit.Full review of the Legends of the Riftwar Series

      Solid Riftwar novel with honourable people on both sides.
    • 3/5
      This is another in the shared worlds series of books set in Midkemia, this time with William Forstchen taking up the reins of the shared storyline. In this story winter is setting in and Kingdom forces under the command of captain Hartraft are making a final sweep through the contested northern lines, aiming to rest up in one of a series of forts established for just this purpose. Unknown to the raiders, a Tsurani patrol is also intent on reaching the same outpost. Not for shelter, but to breach Kingdom lines. And just in case we haven't enough players in the game a group of moredhel are intent on suckering both sides into a confrontation with each other. But both Kingdom and Tsurani solders know what their fates will be if they fall into the hands of he moredhel and when the scale of their plight becomes clear, an uneasy truce is declared - the enemy of my enemy may not be my friend but they're a damned sight better than my enemy.This is another book where I couldn't really sense who wrote which bits, a fairly good sign as I am unfamiliar with Forstchen so there is nothing that is glaringly off and there are some genuinely suspenseful moments though, having read the book, I knew the main protagonists would (mostly!) survive.

      Negen jaar in de oorlog tussen het Koninkrijk en de Tsurani. Het front is redelijk stabiel, met zo nu en dan wat kleine acties tegen elkaar. Tijdens een slag tegen de Tsurani raken de troepen van Dennis Hartraft vast achter de vijandelijke linies. De Koninkrijk Troepen en de Tsurani worden gedwongen om samen te werken tegen de hun beider vijand, de Moredhel

      Dit boek is meer een militaire fantasy dan het gebruikelijke soort. De vertrouwde personages uit de eerdere boeken komen hier niet in voor, behalve dan een verwijzing naar een aantal. De sub-plots waren indrukwekkend, en naar mijn idee beter dan het hele verhaal zelf.

      Wat mij bevreemde was dat de beide legers een soort vakantie hielden gedurende de tijd dat ze vast zaten in de vallei. In plaats van mogelijke uitwegen te zoeken, of zich voor te bereiden verdeden ze hun tijd met het baden, feest vieren en zich bezig houden met de religieuze vieringen van beide partijen. Ze hadden schijnbaar tijd genoeg om een badhuis te bouwen.

      Enjoyed this one... bought it on Amazon UK and had it sent here before they were avail in the US. All three from this series (all three co-written with a different author) are available now on this side of the pond.

      Substance: An old story of enemy forces joining up to defeat a common enemy, and eventually overcoming their hatred for each other. Well-played. Basically, this is a Western, with the human defenders as the Rangers, the alien enemy-allies as the "good Indians", the common indigenous enemy as the "bad Indians", and a few farmers and ranchers thrown in for good measure. Good primer for small-force fighting tactics. Good action and characters.Style: It always amazes me how humans on non-Earth planets nonetheless have Anglo-American names (Dennis, Gregory, Richard, etc.), and most "friendly aliens" are pseudo-Japanese (or Mongols, in this particular case). Also, why is it that ALL fantasy tomes contain lavishly developed maps of the imaginary planet, with every possible city and geographic figure delineated EXCEPT the locations where most of the action takes place?It is a puzzlement.The prologue starts slow, with atrocious syntax, and is largely irrelevant to the main action except as a set-up, which could have been better done. As is also usual with the fantasy epic genre, there are too many people and places brought in too fast for comprehensibility, with snippets of unnecessary background "history" even while some of the needed background is omitted.MINL SPOILER:However, although one can accept that the aliens and humans are sufficiently alike in physical phenotype to become viable comrades, it is more than a little improbable that the two "races" can interbreed.The long retreat of the heroes would be impossible to believe were it not for the actual example of the Irish clan in the 19th century making a similar long trek, but with more noncombatants to take care of.

      It;s interesting to read about the war from a slightly different perspective. I didn't like it as much as the original trilogy, though.
    • 4/5
      Great start to the Legends of the Rift war, Feist has always done a good job at storytelling and adding another talented author just doubles the pleasure. The premises of these books are to go back and fill an area of time where the original books mostly glossed over for the sake of the story. Major events, such as Pugs rise to Great One, spawn minor events which keep trickling down so that you have endless possibility of stories. In this book Kingdom and Tsurani forces have to make some difficult choices to fight against a common foe. The story line is something you see from a distance but the twist in turns can surprise and entertain making it a worthwhile read.
    • 5/5
      Feist in one of my all time favorite authors. This one takes us on a trip back in time to the Riftwar before the end of the war where two enemies get throw together to fight a greater evil.
