The Last God (Book I of the Oerth Cycle): Merle Mousefinder, the little Mustie of the Wild Wood, didn't know what she was getting into when she followed the strange noise through the forest and found Xaa, an enormous carnivorous mouse. Soon, her curiosity would lead her to follow Xaa through an epic tale of freedom, slavery, life, death, hate, and love. ---------------------- Legacy of the Last God (Book II of the Oerth Cycle): The Saga of Oerth continues in Legacy of the Last God. As Xaa and Merle begin to work out their curious relationship, Merle learns to adjust to the new society and culture she finds herself now a part of. Meanwhile, the musties learn to adjust to their new home in Laughing Wood, while the mice learn to live life without their little protectors. Suddenly, a dark cloud appears on the horizon - the cats have kidnapped all the mice of the village, save for Bootie, Smith's mate, and Farrah, Smith's daughter! Can they make the vast journey across endless leagues to alert their old allies to the danger, or will the cats twist the helpless mice, using them to gain the technological edge against their ancient foe, the mus? ------------------ Ayre of the Last God (Book III of the Oerth Cycle): A sad, pathetic wretch rises from where she's been tossed in a muddy alley. It is L'Valin, the former mentalt, her much-vaunted will destroyed by the work of R'Mang, the Shazad's Royal Torturer. Yet, little does this sad wreck of a once-proud Mentalt know the fateful jorney that lies before her - a journey not merely across the lands, but through hell itself - and beyond. --------------- Children of the Last God (Book IV of the Oerth Cycle): Far to the south, deep within the jungles, tribes of wild musties who did not go north with Merle's ancestors still live. But now, they find themselves locked in a vicious struggle with a deadly and terrifying enemy they do not comprehend. Amani and Ayori set off to find these lost tribes, and bring them to a new home of peace and prosperity in the north. But will the Dark One, an ancient and hideous predator, allow them to survive? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ REVIEWS Jim Farris subtly draws the reader into his literary world with the finesse of Richard Adams in Watership Down and takes us on a classic fantasy quest as breathtaking as Tolkien's. Characters with depth and dimension struggle against internal and external odds, and soon we realize this is not a child's tale. J. Hal Forbes, GREED, GOLD & TURTLE GRASS ------------------------------------------------- Have you ever wanted to be swept away? If you have then you are destined to love The Last God : Book One of the Oerth Cycle. The Last God is an enormous cross-genre saga ... both Science Fiction and Fantasy, inner journey and grand adventure. Leanne Moore ---------------------------------------------------- 4 Thumbs Up...THE LAST GOD...captured my attention from the very first page. This book is quite intriguing and the ending is marvelous. Kathy's Faves and Raves http://home.fuse.net/romanceandfriends/favesandraves.html ----------------------------------------- The Last God ... Think Mrs. 'Frisby and the Rats of NIMH', or 'The Redwall Saga'. I read the book in two sittings - breaking only to give my eyes a rest. It kept me reading, and reading - 'just one more chapter then I'll go eat......' This is a book any adult lover of fantasy should read... Lesley Meade, www.booknet.org.uk ------------------------------------------------ A fantasy, an adventure, and a saga of an inner journey as well as a physical one, Jim Farris' The Last God combines a variety of purposes to bring the reader a compelling and enticing read. The story begins with the introduction of the Mustelid Merle and her mouse friend Tinker. Their people have been neighbors for years with the Mustelids protecting the Mice and the Mice in return lending their inventions and innovations to the Mustelids to enable them to survive. One day Merle, being the adventurous mustie she was, followed the noise she heard and found an aftermath of an apparent massacre of some giant beings, which resembled the mice. One of the beings was still alive, only unconscious and she was able to help him return to her village. He was huge compared to her people, speaking a language unknown to them, yet he demonstrated he meant no harm to them. Merle is given the task to teach him their language so he could then tell his story to their leader. During the time she spent with this giant, whose name is Xaa, they learn to communicate and Merle realizes she has feelings for him as he does for her. Xaa and his party were in their area for the reason of finding the "little ones' or the mice. Xaa's people had legends about these "little ones" and their inventions and intelligence. With Xaa's people struggling with an ongoing war with the clan of the Cats, it was felt if these "little ones" could be found and persuaded to return with him, they could help force the Cats from their land. The Mice turn down Xaa's request for reasons, which only the leaders are aware and Xaa prepares to leave. Merle decides to travel with him and her mouse friend Tinker follows them. He wants Merle as his mate and is afraid if he doesn't go, he will never see her again. The journey begins for this mismatched group and truths of each come out as the journey progresses. Pain, sorrow and a new awareness of atrocities inflicted surface, yet love, hope, determination and real inner strength take a firm foothold. Very quickly the reader will become immersed in this world, following the journey of these characters and cheering Merle and Xaa on in their struggles and quests. This is a truly unique and outstanding read, which brings anticipation for the subsequent books in this series. Linda Eberharter, www.atlanticbridge.net
