Bestselling fantasy and science fiction author Troy Denning was born in 1958. He has written many novels, including the Prism Pentad series and multiple contributions to the Star Wars and Forgotten Realms universes. Denning is one of the founders of the game company Pacesetter Ltd, and he mostrar mais co-designed the Dark Sun Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting. He has published under his own name and the pseudonym Richard Awlinson. Denning joined TSR as a game designer in 1981, and was promoted a year later to Manager of Designers, before he moved to the book department. He then worked for two years managing the Pacesetter game company, and had a stint at Mayfair Games. Denning wrote the third novel in TSRs "Avatar Trilogy", Waterdeep (1989), which he wrote under the house pseudonym Richard Awlinson, the book became a New York Times bestselling novel. In October 1989 he rejoined TSR as a senior designer, co-creating the Dark Sun setting with Tim Brown and Mary Kirchoff. Denning returned to freelance writing again in 1991, writing the bestselling "Prism Pentad" for the Dark Sun setting, and the Forgotten Realms "Twilight Giants" trilogy Denning also wrote the Planescape hardcover Pages of Pain "It had to be from the Lady of Pain's viewpoint which is something of a problem, since (as every Planescape player knows) she never speaks and (this was the really good part) the reader must know less about her at the end of the book than he does at the beginning, and nobody knows anything about her at the beginning. In 2010 Troy Denning published his book Vortex and it hit the New York Times Best Seller list. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

Críticas

After the Yuuzhan Vong War—the most devastating conflict in the long history of the Galaxy—there is peace. But it is a strenuous peace, plagued by the fact thousands of species were dislocated after the war. The Jedi Order strains under the weight of their newly embraced relativistic approach to the Force. Their now believes are put to the test when a crisis occurs between the Chiss Ascendancy and a collection of Killik hives encroaching on their boarders.

The story felt partially like an epilogue dealing with the aftermath of the Yuuzhan Vong War, and the first novel in a new trilogy that introduces a fresh plot. What makes it great, is how the scars of the war takes center stage in the story.… (mais)

Short novel, plot is action based and covers invasion to defeat, but not what follows. Good for a quick read, but not as engaging as I'd hoped from the first chapter.

Would recommend to those familiar to the game this novel is based off, or those who prefer action plots.

Que traicionó a sus amigos Medianoche y Kelemvor y trató de destruirlos.
Que se transformó en dios y ahora difunde mentiras y urde intrigas por todos los rincones de Faerun.
Que es el señor del Asesinato, el Príncipe de las Mentiras y.. está loco.

De las profundidades del semiplano de las sombras llega una nueva magia, tan misteriosa que deja perplejos incluso a los Elegidos de Mystra.
Desde debajo del mar de arena del Anauroch escapa una de las fuerzas malignas más poderosas y antiguas de Toril: los phaerimm.
De Evereska, el último refugio elfo de Faerun, llegan rumores de invasión.
Sin que nadie sepa de dónde, llega un grupo de enigmáticos magos decididos a destruir a los phaerimm y a salvar Evereska para fines que sólo ellos conocen.… (mais)
