Â"Duncan's storytelling has never been better [than] in this superb fantasy. . . . How the children of Celebre reunite makes for a captivating, adventure-filled story.Â" --Publishers Weekly (starred review)onChildren of Chaos Â"The estimable Duncan's mad plots, dark intrigues, vivid cast and lashings of magic leave many engrossing mysteries to be elucidated in volume two.Â" --Kirkus ReviewsonChildren of Chaos Â"This odd group of siblings . . . behave nothing at all like the standard protagonists of epic fantasy but a great deal like real people thrust into Interesting Times. . . . Duncan, that wily devil, has done it again!Â" --LocusonChildren of Chaos Â"Dave Duncan produces excellent work in book after book, yet never gains the attention he deserves. This is a fun book but with more substance than most light fantasy. . . . Another solid entry by a writer who deserves a wider audience.Â" --SFReviewonChildren of Chaos, "Inventive, labyrinthine, witty, and thoroughly engaging: Duncan rarely disappoints, and here he outswashbuckles himself." --"Kirkus Reviews" (starred review) on "Paragon Lost" "The long-running Light Fantasy series with hidden depths may sometimes seem like the exclusive province of Terry Pratchett, but he has at least one genuine rival in North America." --"Locus" on "Impossible Odds" "Probably the best yet. There's dark magic and light, captures and escapes, devious plots and light humor, and best of all, a story that moves quickly and convincingly toward its perhaps somewhat unexpected climax. Thoroughly good stuff in the spirit of Dumas and Sabitini." --"Chronicle" on "The Jaguar Kings" "Duncan's people are marvelously believable, his landscapes deliciously exotic, his swordplay breathtaking... [A] handsomely crafted commentary on honor and betrayal." --"Publishers Weekly" (starred review) on "The Gilded Chain" "Distinguished by its sophisticated structure and themes, Duncan's exceptional sequel to "The Gilded Chain" will satisfy both fantasy fans looking for high adventure and those more interested in rich characterizations... Duncan can swashbuckle with the best, but his characters feel more deeply and think more clearly than most, making his novels, especially this one, suitable for a particularly wide readership." --"Publishers Weekly" (starred review) on "Lords of the Fire Lands" "An enormously clever and impressive reshuffle, whether you regard the final twist as a brilliantly contrived sleight or an outrageous swindle: for panache, style, and sheer storytelling audacity, Duncan has few peers." --"Kirkus" on "Sky of Swords" "One ofthe leading masters of epic fantasy." --"Publishers Weekly" (starred review) on "Paragon Lost" "Duncan has a wonderful knack of conjuring up wacky scenarios and making them believable and fascinating; his characters are perky and distinctive, and his narratives strike an ideal balance between whimsy and gravity. Another winner." --"Kirkus Reviews" on "Past Imperative" "Duncan writes succinctly, avoiding the verbiage that bloats so many other contemporary fantasies. His novel features gritty, well-developed characters, several of whom change and grow believably in the course of the book." --"Publishers Weekly" on "Present Tense" "The estimable Duncan manages, somehow, to be in tremendous form every time out; his fans certainly won't be disappointed with this one." --"Kirkus Reviews" on "Future Indefinite", "Duncan's storytelling has never been better [than] in this superb fantasy. . . . How the children of Celebre reunite makes for a captivating, adventure-filled story." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Children of Chaos "The estimable Duncan's mad plots, dark intrigues, vivid cast and lashings of magic leave many engrossing mysteries to be elucidated in volume two." -- Kirkus Reviews on Children of Chaos "This odd group of siblings . . . behave nothing at all like the standard protagonists of epic fantasy but a great deal like real people thrust into Interesting Times. . . .

Synopsis
On a dodecahedral world in thrall to the tyrannical, war-obsessed Hrag dynasty, no one could stop the Bloodlord from sending troops to Florengia, invading its major cities, and offering them a choice between strict colonial rule or immediate and total destruction. When the doge of Celebre was faced with this ultimatum, he gave his children up as hostages so that the rest of Celebre might live. Thus the four young Florengians were taken back over the Edge and scattered across the Vigaelian face. Fifteen years later, when Celebre suddenly takes on crucial political significance, one of the siblings must return home to serve as Celebre' s puppet ruler and the others must be eliminated so that there are no rival claimants to the throne. It' s going to be tough enough finding each other, let alone deciding whether enough kinship remains after fifteen years apart that the siblings care enough to help each other out of their respective predicaments. If they' re feeling particularly altruistic, the Celebres might even take on the bonus round: trying to save Dodec from the culture of death and war imposed on it by its evil warlords. One thing' s for certain: the Celebre children are going to have a lot of adjusting to do . . "Children of Chaos" is the start of a stirring, politically-charged quest duology by acclaimed fantasy author Dave Duncan., for SSATB unaccompanied Commissioned by the choir of Clare College, Cambridge, Harrap's inventive and dramatic setting of the well-known Eucharistic hymn text provides a contemporary alternative to the long-established staples of the choral repertoire by Byrd, Mozart, and Elgar, among others. In five unaccompanied and often interweaving parts, and with meandering chromatic harmonies, Ave verum corpus is a challenging yet rewarding piece of music to sing. The motet's striking scalic passages, effective wordpainting, and overall contrast to the older, more familiar settings will be welcomed by singers and listeners alike. Particularly suitable for Holy Communion and the Feast of Corpus Christi., In the first volume in this series, the doge of Celebre swore allegiance to the Bloodlord to spare his city from inevitable sack, and his four children were taken hostage. Now 15 years later, the hostages have grown up. They must find one another, return to their homeland, claim their inheritance, and gain revenge on their enemies., On a dodecahedral world in thrall to the tyrannical, war-obsessed Hrag dynasty, no one could stop the Bloodlord from sending troops to Florengia, invading its major cities, and offering them a choice between strict colonial rule or immediate and total destruction.
