The war between Amika and Belleger has raged for generations. Its roots lie in the distant past, beyond memory. Sorcerers from both sides rain destruction down on the battlefield, wielding the six deadly Decimates of fire, earth, wind, water, lightning and pestilence.

Prince Bifalt hopes that Belleger's new weapons technology, the rifle, will provide a decisive advantage. But when Belleger's sorcerers are mysteriously deprived of their magical abilities, leaving them unable to defend against Amika, he must set aside his own deep hatred of sorcery and work to solve this new enigma.

Grasping at any chance to save his beloved homeland, Prince Bifalt of Belleger sets out on a hazardous journey across the unmapped wastelands to the east. With Elgart, his last comrade, Bifalt pursues the long-hidden trail of the one object that might be able to turn the tide of the endless war - a book entitled The Seventh Decimate.

The events that unfold force Prince Bifalt to weigh his stubbornness, his patriotism and his hatred for sorcerers against his sense of loyalty and of what he knows to be right. And as he learns, Amika and Belleger may simply be pawns within an even larger struggle....

It is always difficult what to expect from the author next as he cannot keep producing work like this, but once again amazing. Thankyou Stephen Donaldson

As usual Stephen Donaldson's books are unmatched.

I was a little dissapointed that the plot seemed so obvious from early on and seemed a little drawn out ..
.never the less I look forward to part two ... Not on the same level as Thomas Covenant

Thomas where are you ?

The words and, to a degree, the performance are overly histrionic. I find it hard to believe that I loved Donaldson's books so much when I was younger. Quite simply the protagonist here comes across as so stupid that it is impossible to feel connected to his quest. Having said that though, I still found myself sticking with it and weirdly intrigued at the expanded story that will feature in the latter volumes. I'm hoping this will be like the Gap series, taking a slim first volume set-up into a wildly entertaining expanded story.

Overly histrionic.

For the anti hero Thomas Covenant was the most fabulously flawed characters in all fantasy. I have read and reread the first six books.

Saying that I have just listened to the Fatal Revenant followed by this book The Seventh Decimate. I don’t to dumb things down but has Mr Donaldson decided to use 10 words where 1 will do and within those 10 words he has used some strange metaphors.

Tolkien. Tom Clancy etc are very similar, but in the creation of Thomas Covenant a character you hate one minute and cheer for the next Mr Donaldson used his words so well.

Sorry less about TC but maybe I’m the same as the author. I finished the book a couple of days ago and cannot tell you the main characters names. It was book full of anger It seems at one point everyone is angry with the other. The question is will I read or listen to the next novel in the series I’m really not sure.

The Narrator Scott Brick is someone I actually follow he’s narrated some books from the Jack Ryan series as well as this. From his site you can actually purchase the audio books from the early TC series.

So 2 for the story and 5 for the narration ( not who would better Mr Brick) gives an average of 3.5 - I couldn’t in all honesty give it a 4 so I rounded down to a 3 out of 5

A great fan of Donaldson’s earlier work but..

Saw this through to the end as I thought I may be wrong, but I wasn't, the storyline remained predictable. Narration is good, but little characterisation.

A predictable and straightforward story.
