Lady Sophia D'Artiers plays a dangerous game. By day, she is the fragile and ailing Lady Sophia. By night, she is the Brazen Angel, who lures titled gentlemen into a dangerous game of seduction. Unfortunately for Lady Sophia, her aunt has betrothed her to Giles Corliss, Lord of Trahern, who is sure to put a stop to her midnight escapades. The Lord has no urge to marry either. His father's last request was that he marry and produce an heir, but he'd much rather be off on another dangerous mission for the Foreign Office. Alas, their wedding date is set and the preparations begin, but neither Sophia nor Giles could have prepared themselves for the breathless passion that erupts between them. --Lois Faye Dyer

Sexy and fun.......2000-05-02
Lots of action and adventure in Elizabeth Boyle's first book! This was a fast read with few problems! I really liked the development of the relationship between the two!
Easy to see why it's an award winner!.......1999-06-28
I have a stack of books always waiting to be read...how I wish I'd read this one sooner! A great story, charming characters by an author who is definitely going places.
Don't Expect Too Much.......1999-01-13
I love 'The Scarlet Pimpernel', so I bought this book thinking it would be just as romantic and exciting. Well, I was sorely disappointed. The characters lack depth and the story was rather thin. I would rate it as 'readable'.
A first-rate romance set in the tumultuous French Revolution.......1997-07-31
Giles and Sophia are at odds from the start. With the French Revolution as a backdrop, Giles
is certain the thieving Brazen Angel knows what happened to a fellow foreign service operative and
Sophia is determined to get enough money to free her aristocratic family from prison. They lead each other a merry chase from England to France and back. Giles is unable to catch and unmask the beautiful Angel, and she is determined not to allow him to find out that under her disguises she is his betrothed. Follow them through the dangerous alleys of Paris as their ultimate goal becomes "discovering" each other. A delightful first book.

Book Description
He held the fate of two worlds in his hands...
Once he was an orphan called Pug, apprenticed to a sorcerer of the enchanted land of Midkemia.. Then he was captured and enslaved by the Tsurani, a strange, warlike race of invaders from another world.
There, in the exotic Empire of Kelewan, he earned a new name--Milamber. He learned to tame the unnimagined powers that lay withing him. And he took his place in an ancient struggle against an evil Enemy older than time itself.
Customer Reviews:
The Riftwar continues..........2007-09-24
Magician: Master, is the continuing story of Pug, once a young boy living in rural Crydee, thinking himself unimportant, until one day the Duke's Magician chose him to be his apprentice. Since then Pug has undergone training, and survived a scrape or two. But now, he begins a new training, unexpected training, that will lead him to a path he never dreamed he would take. Meanwhile, the Riftwar is being wages between two worlds that Pug has grown to love.
This book is a very enjoyable read. Feist leads us down paths that we didn't see coming, throwing twists and turns in when you almost don't expect it. These stories are exciting first chapters to the Riftwar saga.
RD Williams, author of 'The Lost Gate'
Good, but not perfect . . . .......2007-07-25
MAGICIAN: MASTER had a number of good elements that I have not seen in fantasy before. I liked the exploration of societal slavery, oriental themes and unique magics.
For the most part the story moves quickly, however, there are broad departures from this fast pace. There is a major side-adventure that adds little to the story. Unfortunately, it drags on for several pages (50+).
Furthermore, the climax and denouement of the book were both uninteresting and long. Like many movies nowadays, this book could have trimmed the length of the tale (by 100 or more pages here) and improved the story. I would have liked to read the original issue of the book: MAGICIAN.
Still, the tempo of MASTER is generally fast-paced. I enjoyed the look into the villain's motives. I also liked the exploration of the villain's society, which struck me as interesting and rare in the fantasy genre.
MAGICIAN: MASTER is a book that fits squarely into the 4-out-of-5 star category. You will enjoy it, but it won't blow you away.
Move over Tolkien..........2007-04-03
You'll have to excuse me if I'm blurring books here. I originally bought one large novel simply called "Magician" back in 1985 - it has since been split into two, the one I'm now reviewing being the second half of my book.
At the time, I found Feist's concept unique, his writing style compelling and his characters colourful and alive. 22 years later, I'm happy to say that I firmly maintain the same beliefs. In my eyes, this book (or now 2 books) firmly places Feist at the top of the fantasy genre, easily surpassing the rather stodgy writing of Tolkien. While this in itself is amazing for a first novel by an unknown author, Feist astounds us again in creating two distinct, vivid worlds complete with histories, cultures, societies.
The story starts out in Midkemia in a typical medeival setting, following primarily two boys - Pug (the magician the title refers to) and Tomas. Pug finds himself apprenticed to the Duke's magician, although something seems to be blocking his progression, mentally speaking. A while later, a strange ship is shipwrecked close to their town of Crydee. Upon closer inspection of what is left before the ship sinks, and a look into a dying soldier's mind, it is discovered that these people aren't merely from another land - they are from another world. The people are Tsurani from the world of Kelewan.
On a journey to warn the king of the potential invasion by these aliens, the boys become separated. Tomas is given some magical armour by a dying dragon in the depths of a mountain (and the armour turns him into a mighty warrior who is more than human). Pug later becomes captured and transported to Kelewan...and is eventually trained as a Great One - a magician of their world.
That is the gist of the 800 page novel. Obviously, there are far more characters, and much more in the way of plot development, but I wouldn't want to bore you with every single detail. Instead, I invite you to step into Feist's worlds...and be prepared to have difficulty putting the book down!
I highly recommend this book, and would dearly love to give it more than 5 stars :)
An even grander journey than the first!.......2006-08-17
As you can infer from the title of this review, I liked this book even better than Magician: Aprrentice, and I enjoyed Apprentice very much, so that's saying something for this one! In this book, we continue the tale of Pug and Tomas, as well as Arutha and the Riftwar. No longer is Pug a young boy from Crydee, but a young adult in Kelewan, where he is held as a slave. He is not alone, however, as a new friend, Laurie, stands by his side. It is in this world that Pug will find his true power.
This book has much more of a darker tone, though not overbearingly or even fully dark. Many of the horrors of war are shown throughout the book, and the characters must deal with them. One thing I liked about this book was that it gave Prince Arutha a much larger role than in the previous book (which I liked him in). He has a much greater responsibility, now, and you are able to see new traits of him show that reflect upon that. Tomas also has responsibility on his shoulders, though it is more grave than anyone can imagine. I like his role even better in this book, as well, because of the sheer emotional impact.
Enough of the characters, however, or I shall get carried away. The story in this book continues on the last one (obviously) and, in my opinion, is nothing short of epic. You literally feel like you are not simply just reading different 'scenes' of the book, but zooming in upon these instances while a living, breathing world continues on. As you read on, you can see that the Riftwar is doing much harm to both worlds. Just like the previous book, however, Feist still manages to give you an occasional breath of hope, never leaving you *entirely* downtrodden or depressed. And, I must say, I REALLY enjoyed the ending to this book (though I can't say anything more due to spoilers).
Now, for the bad, to keep this from being a mindless glowing review. Luckily, there's only one thing which I truly disliked. It is: at times, you may find yourself just a little bored with the conversations that the characters have, for Pug, in numerous places in the book, seems more of a 'political activist' than a magician (though I suppose if you enjoy reading about politics, than this is not a problem). I don't find politics boring, but it almost seems as if Feist is trying to cram this huge political system into one book.
All in all, this is a great book that I deeply enjoyed reading through. It takes you to another place, this novel. And while the conversations can be a little boring, almost jarring you out of your reverie, Feist always manages to keep each chapter interesting in it's own way.
Good Read.......2006-08-06
Raymond E. Feist is my favorite author of all time, probably becuase he just writes well. Yet it seems on part two of his huge book list he gets a little carried away with romance. STILL A GOOD READ.!

Customer Reviews:
Aw, now I want a raven........2007-07-09
I think I'm the one person on the planet who hasn't read a lot of Mercedes Lackey books. I've only read "Children of the Night" which is a VERY different book than this one.
I really liked how the book so thoroughly immerses you into the time frame, the social dynamics and the etiquette of the era. Ms. Lackey nicely weaves the fantasy elements into the historical realities of the period. I also appreciated how she discussed true evil as a lack of emotion, rather than rage and fire.
The book did leave me wondering how truly nasty the very nasty villain would have been if she had been born a man.
I think I'll take a trip to the Tower of London and think very hard at the ravens now.
Children with paranormal talents.......2007-03-28
The novel deals with school environment of talented children and thuss is of special interest. It's fantasy of an ideal school and good teachers, and it gives good mind and feelings to the reader, who can correlate it to her's ovn reality of the past. A nice story, with good characters, activities and environments. I recomend it to all ages, young and elder people
Magic.......2007-03-10
Most books written by Mercedes Lackey will be viewed as magic to any person that enjoys fantasy. The Wizard of London is no where short of her best. She knows how to twist old story board schemes and give us a wonder.
One of my favorites.......2007-02-25
The reviewers who nit-pick about the Elemental Masters books are probably the people who need to absorb the humanity of those books.
Fascinating Book.......2007-02-16
I was attracted to this book because of the title. London is my favourite city and anything that has a reference to it, has an irresistable pull for me. So even if I chose the book for the wrong reasons, it still turned out to be good. Having only read 'Rediscovery' in the darkover series which Lackey co-authored, it was definitely new for me. And it was definitely a riveting and fascinating read because of the aura it surrounds you with. There is humour, subtle and sharp - and there is detail with crispness and clearness like a cold winter morning. You never feel the absence of a master plot, but the lack of it makes you take notice of the details of each situation that rises to meet you. Definitely a must read for all the people who love Darkover books

Customer Reviews:
Steinmeyer's writing..........2007-08-28
... is at all times crystal clear. His descriptions of performance and method are clear and concise and (to me at least) fascinating. A true magician in life and in his writing, he conjures performances from a half century ago that make the reader feel as if he has actually witnessed the work of the master magicians. Highly recommended.
Good Bio.......2007-05-11
Orgiinally bought this because of the claim it teaches tricks, however the tricks are outdated and mostly bar room oriented. It's plus side is it reveals alot about the magician Alan Wakeling's life and magic inspiration.
The very best book that you can get about Mr Wakeling.......2005-10-23
This book is a MUST have for you magic book collection and since it is out of print the price of this book has been going up because its now a collectors item!

This was a good book.......2002-02-04
It was a good book with lots of detail. Houdini escapes from a locked safe in London! He was the best magcian ever!!
Master of Magic.......2000-09-14
Have you ever locked yourself up and then slipped out without the crowd knowing? In Harry Houdini, Master of Magic, the man is amazing; he does tricks and stuff you can't even imagine doing, such as stealing locks from his mother when she locks them up. At first the young Houdini is playing with ropes, tieing himself up, and the next thing you know, he is locking himself up. My opinion about this book is that it's good. I have never seen someone lock themselves up, then get out. I think everyone who likes to do tricks will like this book.
Great Book.......1999-06-09
If you have read the life story of Houdini and you think you know every thing about Houdini... Then you should read this one... Beacause this has alot of information. It does have images like posters and other. I think this book is great... I've give it five stars

Raymond E. Feist created a masterpiece. As soon as I read the first book in this epic I knew I was in trouble. I was so enchanted by Magician: Master that I read it all in less than one day. I couldn't put it down. I totally recommend this book if you love Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. It reads faster than Lord of the Rings and keeps you on the edge of your seat. AWESOME!!!!!

Customer Reviews:
Good book, but..........2001-07-30
First off, I did like this book in the series. The action was terse, and well handled. The plot, through most of the book, was well thought out and quite logical. Unfortunately, it left some very large loose ends near the end (with little chance of development due to the circumstances) and a rather weak ending to the three book mini-series. I'm hoping that in future books those loose ends are developed, and that the this doesn't set a precedent for endings. A whole lot depends on how the next book will go.
Exciting and fast-moving, but--.......2001-07-11
Four years ago my husband brought home the first book in the Outlanders series. I wasn't interested in it at first, thinking it was just another macho thriller, with blood and guts taking the place of plot and character.
When I finally read it, I was transported to a world where hard sci-fi, conspiracy theories, mysticism and blood and guts were blended seamlessly--not to mention the introduction of engaging characters. Since then, every book in this series has been gripping. I've watched the characters grow and expand and delve into more and more complex plots. I'm now more devoted to Outlanders than I am any other book series, even the Honor Harrington novels which I love.
But though Purgatory Road is as exciting and as interesting as any in the series, I have to admit I expected something a little more cataclysmic at the end of this trilogy. A number of loose ends were left dangling, which in of themselves isn't annoying since the writer has introduced a number of plot elements in one book only to address them fully in a later book.
This time, the last quarter of the novel seemed a little rushed. Although Domi's "resurrection" was welcome and unexpected (I always figured she'd come back), I'd hoped she would be missing for a few books so Grant and Shizuka could develop a relationship.
And then there was the whole mystery of Thunder Isle--the discovery of the Operations Chronos facility, the rampaging dinosaur, who had time "trawled" Domi in the last microinstant before her death--these issues and many more weren't addressed. I can only hope they will be dealt with the next book.
However, though I'm giving Purgatory Road four stars instead of my usual five, I still have to say it's an exciting book. Every chance to visit with the Cerberus folk, Kane, Brigid, Grant and the others makes up for some of the unanswered questions. Besides, what's life without a little mystery?
She's back!.......2001-06-25
I hope I'm not spoiling anything for the fans who haven't read this book yet, but I'm so happy that reports of Domi's death were exagerated! Not exagerated exactly, but at least she's back. That one thing made Purgatory Road a winner for me!
PURGATORY ROAD was a purgatory of backfill........2001-05-29
The story rates a high 4 because it picks up the action from the previous episode, and it reaches a decision tree with this smug kid Sam, who is really too powerful and dangerous to leave alive, because he is also secretly evil...
This did not rate a Holy 5 because there was too much backfill in the novel. I realize the series is trying to draw in more readers, but not on my bucks, thank you. I thought the expository preface prior to the novel was sufficient for as much backfill as needed. If one must have all this backfill to update readers of what happened in the previous book then the series is weak because the scenes and action should be self-explanatory, or else the characters could provide the backfill SPORADICALLY with cleverly crafted dialogue. This "History Book" method of using great expositionary lumps is tedious to the reader; and so I had to skip over these literary land mines more often than I felt necessary -- enough to invoke irritation -- and merely because I found doing so kept up the pace this aciton series warrants.
Purgatory Road.......2001-05-23
Purgatory Road as usual was hard to put down and from the opening pages drew me in, grasped me tight and pulled me along for the ride. This was one wild ride I did not mind taking. With so many questions left unanswered among all that has been resolved as this novel closes, I for one was left salavating for more. The last third of this latest Outlanders story was comprised of some of the most interesting and thought provoking chapters in this masterfully written series. With so many doors left open to exploration and the ranks of villians, each more dangerous than the last, growing with each new novel I'm left to wonder whats next. Knowing this authur and having come to greatly enjoy this series, I have no doubt I will not be disappointed. Another well written novel, that I highly recommend!!

Book Description
Recounts one woman's discovery of her ability to heal through contact with spirits and reveals how others can awaken this same gift in their own lives
• Explains how reconnecting with our inner sense of joy is the first step in healing
• Shows how to rid our life of the traumas from the past that hinder our spiritual development, including unresolved traumas from past lives
• Provides a roadmap that others can use for rediscovering their own connections to the spirit world
Like many others who have discovered that they have a healing vocation, Alexandra Leclere began meeting with other healers and shamans to learn how to put her gift to use. At one of these gatherings she was shocked to find that she was the only one who could see the spirit of a deceased woman that was being honored there--a sign that marked the beginning of a remarkable adventure that taught her how to use her gift for healing herself and others.
Despite the extraordinary powers of clairsentience and clairvoyance revealed to her through her work with the spirit world, Alexandra Leclere shows that the greatest gift she has received since her shamanic awakening is the ability to experience unconditional joy. Often the pain caused by unresolved psychological traumas from the past--including past lives--is the key obstacle restricting access to the powers offered by the spirits. The first step in healing requires reconnecting with the joy that resides within us. Once this connection has been established, we are all capable of restoring our connection to the spirit world. Alexandra Leclere’s story provides a roadmap for finding our way back.

Fascinating, Inspiring, Compelling!.......2007-02-22
A lesson in how to bring joy (and spirits) into one's life. This autobiographical book sometimes reads like a journal with much detail, but I feel that is part of its charm. I found this book to be amazingly candid and insightful. My sense is that the author wanted to take the reader down as many carefully described paths as possible to explain how and why she ended up where she did. Given where Leclere started--as a TV producer--and where she eventually found herself--a clairvoyant and healer--I felt that the journalistic details were necessary. Afterall, it isn't every suburban soccer mom who finds herself participating in Native American sweat lodges or pursuing four-day vision quests alone in the wilderness without food or water. As a suburban soccer mom, I was happy for the lengthy narrative of how she got there. I was also inspired by her journey. I found Leclere's caveat about being wary of giving away too much of one's power very important no matter what one's quest is. This book is extremely compelling, and I hope that Leclere writes many more. I will definitely look for one of her workshops!
Fun Read, but Not a HOW TO Book at all!.......2006-09-11
I enjoyed the author's account of her spiritual path and how she opened up. But I also thought it was more of a "how to" or had ways to open up more for the reader. It is not, it is totally her autobiography. Now, I do not have a problem with that at all and did find her story fascinating BUT the blurb about the book leads one to believe that it has more methods and ways to learn than it does. That was my only complaint, I just wish it had more tips for the reader on development and expanding.
The author is obviously a very gifted healer and medium and I look forward to any more books. I bet she does a great workshop!
Seeing the Dead, Talking with Spirits.......2006-05-30
Reading this book was a very painful experience. I was very disappointed. I bought it mainly because of the title and that it was endorsed by Robert Moss and John Perkins (I wonder now if they even read this book). While there were a few (and I mean a few) parts that I found somewhat interesting they were few and far between. I quickly tired of listening to the authors' infatuation with one of her teachers, praising him when all went well and then sulking if he didn't pay enough attention. I felt I was reading a book about a school girls crush.
I found the book very self centered and had little to do with shamanic healing. Save your money....I wish I had.
An inspiring personal roadmap.......2006-05-22
A truly inspiring book, which, through the author's personal example, will invigorate and guide your courage to find your own spiritual path. Alexandra's story is offered as a roadmap, a starting point for you to live your own. This is a book to read and re-read along your life.
Too Many Stories.......2006-03-19
This publication contains multiple interesting stories, but very little factual information one may use as a guide or set of instructions to perform shamanic healing themselves. Perhaps the title led me to believe this was sort of a ''do-it-yourself''book. Not finding same, I was slightly disappointed, but I did enjoy some of the stories.
