Review
Third volume in a fantasy trilogy tells the story of Taemon and Gevri as they each fight for their nation.
Taemon, is the only Nathanite alone who possesses the telekinetic power called psi and uses his power to convince his rivals, the Republikite Army to believe that all residents of Deliverance possess tk. This is so far what has become their best defense and protection from their enemy.
General Sarin has put his son, Gevri, in charge of a special archon unit, an awesome force that will rival well Taemon's kinetic power and is determined to avenge his people and end the long standing war between the two lands.
Each chapter is told in the voice of either Taemon or Gevri, who were once friends.
Though fantasy devotee's will have an easy job picking up the third book in this trilogy, others will find it hard to read as a stand-alone. This is a book rich with suspense and dedication to homeland. Good and complete character development.
Recommend for purchase.
Overall Book Score: very good
