Freedom

This story reflects our past. The past the present and the future are all important we learn from the past so we can fix the present so that the future is better place for all. I have read all of these books as they came out and the story still reads the the same appeals to most ages and is relatable even today which speaks volumes about the author enjoy these books everyone as I have over the years.

Classic Fantasy Story From the 1980s

Detailed storytelling with characters that come to life. If you play RPGs, this is one for you, given its protagonists are players themselves transported to a land of fantasy featuring fighters, clerics, rogues and wizards.
