Submitted by Max  (Oct 19, 2003)When people talk about Raymond Feist books it's usually the Riftwar Saga and the Serpentwar that they talk about, they tend to forget about The King's Buccaneer. Personally I think it is one of his finest pieces of work and along with Silverthorn and A Darkness at Sethanon are among the ones I love the best. I have grown to enjoy later books, although I was getting fed up of Roo in Rise of a Merchant Prince but he redeemed himself in Rage of a Demon King. But I have to say I have had Talon of the Silver Hawk on the go for months now, and am only half way through it, even though I normally polish off books in days if they are by my favourite authors. I even ordered this from the USA because they had an earlier release date. Feist's last 4 books have not had me as keen as usual, which is a shame, as I love him as an author. It's a pity he moved on so quickly and killed off a lot of favourite characters. Buccaneer is a prelude to the Serpentwar saga it offers both old characters and new and still holds you with that early Feist feeling..........
Read and enjoy.
