The Warlock's Last Ride

by Christopher Stasheff

Overview

THE FINAL ADVENTURE IN THE PHENOMENAL SERIES

After an incredible 35-year run, the story of Rod Gallowglass - the Warlock in Spite of Himself - comes to its fantastic finale in the weird and wonderful world of Gramarye. When Gwendolyn - the witch-wife of Rod Gallowglass, the Lord High Warlock of Gramarye - suddenly dies, she leaves behind a husband dangerously unhinged by grief and a land without a Protector.

So it's the worst time for the Gallowglass's ancient enemies - Durer and the Mocker - to return for one last bid to overthrow the monarchs of Gramarye and seize power. Stirring up a peasant revolt, manipulating politics to trigger a civil war between the Crown and the Lords, all while orchestrating a monster invasion and attempting to trying to turn the Gallowglass children against each other, Gramarye may face its greatest challenge yet.

About the Author

Christopher Stasheff always had difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality and has tried to compensate by teaching college. When teaching proved too real, he gave it up in favor of writing full time. He tended to pre-script his life, but couldn't understand why other people never got their lines right. This caused a fair amount of misunderstanding with his wife and four children. He wrote novels because it was the only way he could be the director, the designer, and all the actors too.

One of the pioneers of "science fantasy," his career spanned four decades, 44 novels (including translations into Czech, German, Italian, Russian, and Japanese), 29 short stories, and seven anthologies. His novels are famous for their humor (and bad puns), exploration of comparative political systems, and philosophical undertones.

Editorial Reviews

Anyone who has read Mr. Stasheff's previous novels would have to read this one. "The Warlock's Last Ride" is a bittersweet one, as we see beloved characters die and others operate through their grief. The writing is fresh, and seeing a number of plot strings introduced at various parts of the series finally resolved brings a strong sense of closure. Moreover, the closure is logically presented, and consistent within the science of the series.

This is the end. 35 years after the release of The Warlock in Spite of Himself, Stasheff closes the loop on Rod Gallowglass and his family.
