Knight Eternal: Harbinger of Doom Volume 3 (Harbinger of Doom series)

This is the kind of book which is written every century or so. And I am not bragging mind you, read for yourself to find out. Seriously, this is the level of lord of the rings right here. An absolute must read!!!!!

A fantastic fantasy book recommended for all those who love stories set in mythological world. Angel Theta's adventures encased in this series is incredibly gripping in its own right.

Gripping story..

good

Great book loved it

The author, Glenn G. Thater, wrote this story based on 1200-year old documents about an enigmatic character, Lord Angle Theta, and his epic journeys and battles. There is even evidence dating all the way back to 2600 B.C. that speaks to the Angle Theta lore. The author has updated this lost tale into the fantasy novel Knight Eternal. It is a battle of good vs. evil in a time of gnomes, elves & knights, and sword & sorcery. Terrible evil has befallen a vast land, creeping into places everywhere - seen and unseen - and corrupting countless people. A cadre of souls sets out to save a comrade after a merciless attack, restore justice and stability, and exact revenge.Like his first book, Harbinger of Doom (made up of two stories - The Gateway & The Fallen Angle), this is, in my opinion, truly excellent fantasy literature. Many of the themes will be be familiar to fans of the fantasy genre, but it's possible that's because the ancient lore these books are derived from predates many other fantasy stories. Perhaps the intriguing and highly entertaining stories of the intensely mysterious and powerful Angle Theta were amongst of the original sources of inspiration for these later tales. It is obvious to me the appeal of these tales and why they lived on.I am not exaggerating when I say that excellence is in every part of this book - from the dialogue, the settings, the pacing, the plot, to the overall feel of the story. There is not one word that is extraneous or out of place, there is never any place where I wish there had been more description, or better description, better flow, or more excitement. The characters are all clearly drawn out with palpable presences and personalities - my two faves are Ob the Gnome, and Lord Angle Theta, who continuously simmers with nearly unmatched power, danger, and deep mystery. The dialogue is crisp & witty, humorous at times, and always meaningful. The stakes are high and the journey is wild and unpredictable. The story is perfectly put together and, I think, should be read by every fan of the fantasy genre - I mean this all sincerely. It is a classic in the making.***Possible spoiler alerts - next paragraph only***What is really surprising & completely refreshing is that near the end of the book, the story is switched over to the bad guys' point of view, and absolutely everything is upended. The reader is then left questioning if they have it backwards, maybe those are actually the good guys (though ultimately, everyone does bad things, no one is blame-free, but everything seems to have solid motivations). This sets this book (and its predecessors) apart from most other stories. It is revelatory, and so incredibly well done, I am enthralled by it. I am not sure who the good guys are, plus there are many shades of grey, and what an agonizing treat for the reader that is. The possibilities this leaves are so tantalizing that I have never wanted to read a sequel so bad. Ever!***End spoiler alerts***One thing is important to mention - the story ends suddenly, very suddenly. It really is the first half of a full story. I didn't realize this about the book, there were pages left, but they turned out to be the glossary, so it caught me by surprise. I dearly hope the next instalment will be released post haste!To wrap it up, Knight Eternal is brilliant storytelling in every possible way. So much so, that I want to read every single tale about Angle Theta that has ever existed. Highly recommended!Rai Aren, co-author of the award-winning mystery novel Secret of the Sands

I enjoyed reading this tale of eternal beings, lost civilizations, and decaying worlds from ages lost in the sands of time. This is the third book in the Harbinger of Doom series. It picks up where the second book ended, with Theta and his band on a quest to prevent the return of the ultimate evil to our world. It is a well written fast paced story that will keep you on your seat. While the author is known for not adding "fluff" to his descriptions and stories, he makes sure that there is more than enough detail to paint a good picture of the world they live in. My only compalint is the lenght of the book, while this is about twice the size of either the first or second book, I had wished it was longer, especially upon reaching the ending which left me with a feeling the story should not have ended there. I look forward to the authors next book.
