This is the final and ultimate Gord book. Unfortunately, at this point Gord is practically a deity himself, and while he may have motives and beliefs we understand, it gets a bit muddled when he is pitted against the ultimate forces of evil. Motive and plot are more than a bit strained in this book, but as usual the action and character of Gord and his allies make it at least somewhat worthwhile.
By this point, Gary Gygax had almost parted ways with TSR and it shows, as he seems to have taken his talents and this novel off to another publisher. ( )
