Whisper Darwath series eBook Barbara Hambly Reviews
Six years have passed since the end of civilization, and Ingold Inglorion, Gil Patterson, and Rudy Solis remain in the Keep of Dare. This huge obsidian cubicle (crafted by the magic and machines of a civilization destroyed long ago by a previous rising of the Dark) has kept its occupants from death, but their lives are a daily struggle, as they learn to adapt to a world gripped in a sudden climate change. And now yet another crisis threatens to engulf this pitiful remnant of humanity.
The recently discovered and little understood teleporter at the center of the Keep of Dare is about to open. Its perfect amalgamation of science and magic due to form a portal to another hidden Keep from the ancient times; a keep that Ingold and his apprentices (Rudy included) believe has been lost to humanity for three thousand years. And with Ingold away from the Keep, it is left up to Gil and Rudy to form a team, enter the portal, and deal with whatever might be in the other keep — good or bad. Something that promises to be more difficult than Ingold, Gil, or Rudy ever expected!
Obviously, this is a story that will mean more to followers of Darwath. First, because fans of the series are already emotionally invested in these characters and their world, but also because Ms. Hambly takes it for granted that Whisper readers already know the background, motives, and adventures of the main characters and doesn’t even mention them at all. So to fully enjoy this one you really need, at least, a Wikipedia understanding of the story up to this point.
Once you have the basics of Darwath down, this is a novelette that flows by seamlessly. It keeps you entertained in Hambly’s effortless way by mixing emotions with mystery, dragging you along behind the characters as they find themselves entangled in unusual and deadly situations with the fate of humanity itself on the line. And when it ends, it might not completely surprise you, but the emotions portrayed by the characters still touch you, because you can picture yourself trying to make the choices these guys are forced to.
As you can tell I’m a Darwath fan and I really enjoyed this short story . . . because any chance to revisit Ingold, Gil, and Rudy is always a special treat for me. One I do not take for granted anymore.
46 pages for $5 is ridiculous. It is equivalent to charging $40 for a 360 page book! I notice that these overpriced downloads always seem to get five star reviews? I like Barbara Hambly but I won't be buying any of these releases
Rating is for price, not quality. I agree with the reviewer that said $5 for 45-page short story is ridiculous. Bundle these and other stories into an anthology and make it worth the purchase price
Nice read!
this is a great series, and it is an exciting story, but I am not sure I agree with the way it was resolved.
Enjoyed very much being back with old friends, Gil, Ingold, Rudy, etc. A delight in every way.
Having actually read this, as opposed to critiquing it based on the price, I have to say I enjoyed the story. Barbara Hambly continues to be one of the best storytellers around.
I loved this short story of my old and much loved friends. The story concept was intriguing. Such a scary evil villain.
