SynopsisIn this new tale in the bestselling Recluce saga, Justen, a young Black engineer, is chased into the most inhospitable desert after battling the White Wizards. Now Justen must fight both Recluce and Fairhaven, as well as the highest powers of order and forbidden technology. Engaging and realistic characters.--Publishers Weekly., The saga of Recluce, launched in The Magic of Recluce and continuing in The Towers of the Sunset and The Magic Engineer reaches a new climax in The Order War. "Modesitt has created an exceptionally vivid world," says L. Sprague de Camp, "so concretely visualized as to give the impression that Modesitt himself must have dwelt there." Publishers Weekly says, "Modesitt creates a complex world bgased on a plausible system of magic and peopled with engaging and realistic characters." Set after the events of The Magic Engineer (and prior to The Magic of Recluce) The Order War illuminates great figures and major events in the historic war between order and chaos that is the central focus of the saga of Recluce. The deadly White Wizards of Fairhaven, wielding the forces of chaos, have completed their great highway through the Westhorns and now threatened the ancient matriarchy of Sarronnyn, the last bastion of order in Candar. The ruler of Sarronnyn appeals to the Black order wizards of Recluce for help. Justen - a young Black Engineer in the city of Nylan - joins the relief force. Despite their success in destroying more than half the White armies, Sarronnyn falls to the White Wizards, and Justen is chased into the most inhospitable desert in Candar. These trials are but the beginning, for the White Wizards have all Candar in their grasp. Justen must fight both Recluce and Fairhaven, as well as the highest powers of order and the forbidden technology to harness chaos itself in his efforts to halt the conquest of the chaos wizards. The Order War is the fourth book of the saga of Recluce.
L. E. Modesitt Jr is and has been my favorite author for years! I believe I have every book and short story he has written. If I don’t, I will as soon as I find it!! I have most of his hardback Recluse works in first editions, ALL of the Imager works in hardback first editions. He is able to mix Science Fiction with Fantasy works with ease. He comes up with new day names as well as different number of days in a week, AND keeps them straight in each world. I am enthralled with each new book as he writes it, and eagerly await the next one.
