Hades' Daughter Hades' Daughter by Sara Douglass
reviewed by Lisa DuMond
When gods, demi-gods, and witches play with humans' lives, inevitably the result is pain and sorrow for the lesser creatures involved. As one of the unfortunate pawns in a game that spills over millennia, pity Cornelia, a young and headstrong princess who has the supreme misfortune of being caught between Brutus, the kingman who would rebuild Troy, and Genvissa, ruthless descendant of Ariadne, who will possess the power Brutus holds.

Hades' Daughter Hades' Daughter by Sara Douglass
reviewed by Steven H Silver
From the very first pages of of this book, it is clear that the author has a tightly packed and plotted series in mind. Epic in proportion, she is tackling nothing less than the course of Western civilization, from the fall of Troy until the Second World War, all set against a rotating cast of eternal heroes and villains and the Byzantine game they play -- The Troy Game.

Starman Starman by Sara Douglass
reviewed by Alma A. Hromic
It is the secret that Robert Jordan and, now, Sara Douglass have learned. Hook a fan once, and they will return for any amount of rehash. Draw a pretty map, make up some weird names, chase them all out of a picturesque castle on wild goose chase quests, throw in a Dark Lord or a Wicked Witch of the North, and you've got it made -- book after book after book after trilogy after trilogy.

Starman Starman by Sara Douglass
reviewed by Lisa DuMond
It's no secret that fantasy fans like their sword and sorcery in heroic slabs. Well, no one gives readers their fantasy in more massive doses than this author, and no one hits that magical high more precisely. Here, the epic Wayfarer Redemption series continues with an expanse and a vision that dwarfs other -ologies that have gone before it. Is it any wonder that the series is the most successful in Australian history?

The Nameless Day The Nameless Day by Sara Douglass
reviewed by William Thompson
At its most basic, this is an alternate history, set within the conflicts of the Hundred Years' War amidst the divisions within the Church between the political papacies of Rome and Avignon.  Broad, at times detailed scholarship of the period is evident, and few of the historical figures for the mid-14th century have not assumed a role as characters, up to and including Chaucer.  Using the epic scope of the conflict, one that gripped most of Europe within a morass of political and military upheaval and intrigue the equal of any to be found in fiction, the author has interposed into that struggle a largely unseen battle waged between angels and demons for control over mankind's future, of which the earthly conflicts are but a mortal reflection.

The Wayfarer Redemption The Wayfarer Redemption by Sara Douglass
reviewed by Victoria Strauss
More than a millennium ago, in the land of Tencendor, three races lived in harmony: human beings, the winged mountain-dwelling Icarii, and the Avar, a people wise in the ways of the forests and the earth. But then a new faith rose up among the humans, the Way of the Plough, which taught that mountains and woodlands and other wild places were evil, and must be either avoided or subdued. Led by the Seneschal, their religious leadership, humans ruthlessly drove the Icarii and the Avar into exile. Over the centuries these races passed into legend, known collectively as the Forbidden.
