Long description

Raymond E. Feist's classic fantasy epic, Magician, has enchanted readers for over twenty years. The revised edition was prepared to celebrate the tenth anniversary of its publication, and incorporates over 15,000 words of text omitted from previous editions. At Crydee, a frontier outpost in the tranquil Kingdom of the Isles, an orphan boy, Pug, is apprenticed to a master magician -- and the destinies of two worlds are changed forever. Suddenly the peace of the Kingdom is destroyed as mysterious alien invaders swarm the land. Pug is swept up into the conflict but for him and his warrior friend, Tomas, an odyssey into the unknown has only just begun. Tomas will inherit a legacy of savage power from an ancient civilization. Pug's destiny is to lead him through a rift in the fabric of space and time to the mastery of the unimaginable powers of a strange new magic.

  Feist's best I've read thus far
Reviewed by freddyfobian@yahoo.com from South Africa on 06 August 2006

Raymond Feist has written numerous fantasy books - most of them in series. Magician makes up the first book of the 'Riftwar' saga (a series of three books; the other titles are "Silverthorn" and "A Darkness at Sethanon") In my opinion it is the best book Feist has written and I can recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the fantasy genre. Magician can be read as a stand-alone book... you do not need to read the rest of the Riftwar novels or novels of the subsequent series. The conclusion to Magician is rounded off nicely and I often got the impression that when Feist wrote it, he was not intending to turn it into a series of books, though I have to admit I have not researched the author's intentions on this matter at all. Feist's writing style is much easier to read than e.g. Tolkien's, but he still pays great attention to detail and the character development is excellent. The plot is very original and dispite being fantasy remains utterly beleivable throughout. The book has apparently appeared in two separate volumes before, though I have read only the single volume edition. Magician is one of the best fantasy books written and I can genuinely recommend it. I rate the book 5 out of 5.

A amazing combination of the Tolkien's imagery and Lucas' imagination.

Comments: My copy doesn't have the gold cover as pictured on kalahari, but a purple/pink cover. The barcode is exactly the same though, so the content inside should be too.
