Heppner has done it again! He has produced an amazingly compelling story that sucks you in from the first word and doesn't let you go until you look up in surprise when the book's all over. This book, just like the first in the series (Giants), is a thumping good read of the first order. Heppner's storytelling's is split pretty equally between Joash, our young adult narrator of the first book and his companions who become separated from each other due to a shipwreck by a sea monster.The goal of the book is to determine the reason that the First Born, the Giants, the Gibbers and the Nephilim wanted the adamantine armor, sword and shield. Through many adventures,loss of life and heroics the Elonites have determined the reasons for gaining the adamantine weapons. The reasons are so perilous that one could bring hell on Earth and the other could wipe everything off the face of the planet. There is no choice - they must be stopped.When sailing back home they are attacked by a sea monster who was in league with a First Born in on the Plan. Joash is with Heret and Joash's dog Harn. Lord Uriah, his sister Lillith the Great Prioress, Aurochs the former pirate, Amery, Uriah's Granddaughter and Adah the Singer from Posidonis all ended up in a lifeboat dodging pirates. Each group thinks the other is dead so that it falls to them to tell the world of the looming disaster that awaits mankind if the evil one's succeed. One group will be successful, the other will get caught by the enemy. The ending again wraps up neither too short nor too rushed. No cliffhangers, just nicely wrapped up storylines leaving you in little doubt where the next book is heading. Again, even though I would like to give an extra star for this, I can't possibly because I'm already all maxed out.
