slferg's review against another edition
5.0
Matt Mantrell, Her Majesty's Wizard, begins to worry about his parents on the earth that he left when he traveled to Merovence. In a discussion with his friend Saul, the Witch Doctor, Saul propounds his theory about the difference in time between the two worlds. For example, 5 years have passed in Merovence, but only a few months on earth. Matt goes back to visit his parents, and with difficulty returns home to his wife. He returns to find the kingdom under attack. After talking with his wife (and actually receiving a letter from a friend of his mother), he goes back to bring his parents to hew new life. And just in time, for the police are arriving as they are transported away.
Then Matt has to figure out who is causing this sudden eruption in warfare and why. And who is the very powerful sorcerer who almost prevented his returning and why. And how to stop the war.
In this world, a belief in good and evil matters. God is very present. Knighthood gives the receiver special abilities and good and evil behavior bind you to either God or the devil.
A fascinating read on a place where things are mostly black and white and rarely gray.
