ReviewsFor the Saga of Recluce"Astonishingly relevant. A classic tale of good versus evil, a subject that will never be obsolete." - San Francisco Book Review on The Magic of Recluce "I especially enjoy the type of series which builds upon itself, going backward and forward in time, changing perspectives and viewpoints. A fine example of this type of fiction is L. E. Modesitt Jr.'s Recluce series." -Alexce Douville, Sun Herald (North Port, FL)"My favorite thing about L. E. Modesitt's books is that they don't go stale. I enjoy rereading them as much as I enjoy them the first time. On occasion, I enjoy them even more." - SFRevu, Praise for the Saga of Recluce"Astonishingly relevant.
