Druid's Sword: Book Four of The Troy Game

By Edward Augustus Bond

Book Overview

World War II London: The Blitz has all Londoners in its grip and people struggle to survive amidst the terror and chaos of constant bombardment. But is it just Hitler's Luftwaffe that is responsible for all the death and destruction that the city is facing? Brutus, the Greek Kingman who brought the bands of power to the isle of Alba millennia ago, once again walks the streets of London, this time as an American major. The men and women who are his eternal companions (and sometimes lovers and enemies) have been reborn in this time and place and all have come together for one last battle to complete the magical Labyrinth buried at the heart of the city. Half completed and resonating with an evil power, the Maze calls to them to finish the Game and possibly set all the players free.But there is a new power that walks the land. It is a power that none anticipated and it has its own agenda. And by its actions could change the world forever. "Druid's Sword" is the fourth and concluding volume in Sara Douglass's compelling Troy Game series, a riveting historical fantasy series of love and revenge set against the very fabric of time itself.

Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed them, but those earlier Sara Douglass grabbed me a lot more. In contrast to the first three of this series, this book grabbed me from...

Somewhat disappointing ending to a brilliant series

I rated this as 4 stars, but only barely. The first three novels of the Troy Game series were as good as anything I have ever read. Complex storylines, likeable and hatable characters. Cliffhanger endings that left you stunnned. It was therefore a little disapointing to see the direction that this finale took. Though I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, 'Druid's Sword' is but a pale comparison to its predecessors. All through...

great historical fantasy

The Troy Game, a work of sorcery that is supposed to protect a city, has taken on a life of its own in the form of a woman known as Catling. She wants to complete the game and now that the creator Major Jack Skelton, who has been reincarnated through several lifetimes, has returned to London that can now happen.

Loved the series...

*spoilers* This book seemed a bit lacking. The book, for me started out great. But getting towards the end I was upset at how Noah was treated. She had worked so hard to become who she was and received nothing but admonishment of how she wasn't needed, everything she did seemed wrong. She had sacrificed and suffered, all for nothing. It seemed she had reverted to before becoming Noah. I was let down at that. Weylands character...
