About this listen
Joseph Colsco has survived what many would not have - cast naked on an alien planet amidst humans speaking an unknown language and with a different culture and history. Now, known to the people of Caedellium as Yozef Kolsko, he has risen out of despair to prominence and finds himself a central figure in the culmination of a struggle against an imperialist power bent on subjugation.
The clans of the Island of Caedellium must gird themselves for what is to come. If they can't unite to a degree previously unimaginable, they will fall into the bottomless abyss of lost history. Their strengths are their determination, bravery, potentially new allies, and a single man with a mysterious history. The options are simple: victory, death, enslavement.
Yozef Kolsko may have transformed from who he had been on Earth, but did the trials he has undergone produced a savior some of his adopted people see him as or is he an illusion? The crucible of fate is about to yield a final product, but is the result enough against a formidable enemy?

Excellent read
What a great audio if this was the final book in this series I really enjoyed the audio far better than the ebook. The switching from different characters was annoying when reading the text to me but while listening too the audio I really got into storyline. Thanks Olan.

Conclusion to Joseph's adventure
This is book 4 of an engagingly written Sci-Fi story, where the slightly geeky main character Joseph has to adapt into a parallel Earth culture with a technological level of the 17 hundreds. The humans on the island Caedellium were taken from a pre-European culture - thus their development follows similar structures then those on Earth, although there are significant differences in their society. In Book 4 the geo-political conundrum that Joseph's new home Caedellium is facing comes to an epic conclusion with new players and unexpected twists being added to the story [Spoiler: if you are opposed to more then 1 spouse in marriage - be forewarned]. While very suspenseful and engaging, this book reads more like a military strategy book then a parallel Earth sci-fi story, it reminded me of the epic battles in 'The Lord of the Rings'. The book is written from several point of views of different characters. It will be helpful to go to Olan Thorensen's web page and download the Anyar/ Caedellium maps and the character list to prevent confusion with the many different names.
The narration of this book series was excellent - especially with so many players involved. It is a very entertaining read.

Final book
Well researched and an interesting story
Unfortunately too much repetition of points which becomes tedious. Additionally the female characters are a bit insipid

Forged in Fire
This book is extremely good. The reading by Jonathan Davis is outstanding , as are all his readings in this series. His character voices adds a lot to the stories.
The story is a great ending to a wonderful series, although I am looking forward to book to book 5, Tales of Anyar, which I have just downloaded.

Thorensen destroy story line
I absolutely enjoyed the first three books of the series and then mid way through the 4th book Thorensen decided to nuke the series. I cannot say I have seen such a distruction of a story line in my time. This is where I get off for good.
