This is part of a series, Legends of the Riftwar. The Tsurani are metal-poor and the interplanetary rift that allows them to travel to the land Midkemia puts them in conflict with the Midekemia residents. Hartraft’s Marauders are behind the lines shock troops whose goal is to demoralize the Tsurani raiders. A running battle with a troop of Tsurani is interrupted by a third force that is the antithesis to them both.
Asayaga of the Tsurani and Dennis Hartraft are forced to
discover their similarities despite their adversarial relationship. They are surrounded by comrades who drive home
both their differences and those similarities.
The moredhel or dark elves provide a counterpoint to the honor Asayaga
and Dennis share.
The story has good characterizations and shows both the strengths
and foibles of men who are forced by circumstances to be enemies. The toll of hatred is clearly shown and how
it can destroy the best of intentions.
I enjoyed the book and recommend it.
