R.A. Salvatore

Allan Pollack

The Demon Apostle (DemonWars, Book Three)
Del Rey (hardcover, 456 pages, $25/$35 Can)
Publication date: March 17, 1999
The concluding volume to the fast-action series that began with The Demon Awakens and The Demon Spirit. "It is a time of mourning. A time of hope. With the demon dactyl and its foul minions defeated, the war-weary citizens of the kingdom of Honce-the-Bear wish only to bury their dead and begin rebuilding their broken lives. Yet the fragile balance between church and state lies shattered. The specter of civil war haunts the ravaged land --and a specter more fearsome still. For the demon, though defeated, was not destroyed. And now its vengeful spirit has found an unholy sanctuary at the very heart of the Abellican Church. As the elf-trained ranger Elbryan Wynden presses north to reclaim the savage Timberlands from retreating goblin hordes, and his companion, Pony, mistress of gemstone magic, turns south to the civilized -- but no less perilous -- streets of Palmaris, they find themselves caught up in a ruthless power struggle to decide the fate of all Corona. A struggle that will push their courage and love to the breaking point... and beyond."

Echoes of the Fourth Magic (Ynis Aielle, Book One)
Del Rey (reprint, paperback, 333 pages, $6.99/$8.99 Can)
Publication date: November, 1998 (First Printing: 1990)
Salvatore (The Demon Wakes, Sojourn ) is a rapidly rising star in the fantasy firmament, and Del Rey knows a good thing when it sees one. This is a re-release of his first fantasy novel (albeit not the first one he published), to be followed by a brand new sequel in Fall 1999, The Witch's Daughter. "Jeff "Del" DelGuidice was proud of his assignment to the research submarine The Unicorn. But his mission had barely begun when the vessel was sucked into a mysterious undersea void where time stood still, before propelling it forward, through the centuries. The crew surfaced in a strange, magical world changed forever by nuclear holocaust. Here a race of angelic beings had taken pity on the remnants of humankind, offering a chosen few a precious second chance. Thus the Isle of Hope was raised from the poisoned seas and set like a jewel in Earth's ravaged crown. But the jewel had a flaw, a dark vein of evil. For a sinister expert of the mystical arts had embraced the forbidden third magic, the most deadly sorcery of all."
