Chaos is everywhere as the Lord of the Nexus orders his servant Haplo and the human child known as Bane to further their master's work on Arianus, the realm of air. But their one time companion Alfred has been cast into the deadly Labyrinth. And somehow the assassin Hugh the Hand has been resurrected to complete his dark mission. More important, the evil force that Haplo and Alfred discovered on Arianus has escaped. As Haplo's doubts about his master grow deeper, he must decide whether to obey the Lord of the Nexus or betray the powerful Patryn...and endeavor to bring peace to the universe.

I totally enjoyed this book. Very good plot, very good characters, and great bad guys. Weis and Hickman have really built a great world(s). Which is Earth broken apart. Characters from other books they've written have make token appreances. I've really started to like Haplo and Alfred better as they grow to be better people. When they realize that hatred or dominance (no matter how well intentioned) is not the answer to peace. Very good fantasy series!!

This is fantasy amped up a notch and it is great. I read all seven and have just posted them all. I loved each and every one. Great, memorable characters and adventures galore. Weis and Hickman are legends for a reason.
