Age of Swords by Michael J. SullivanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The best part of this story takes place in the climax-side epic underdark dungeon crawl - there's just something about vast deserted subterranean cities inhabited by Things of the Dark that is really good and feels fresh, despite LOTR and The Carpet People, and this falls somewhere between the two. You have to slightly stretch the disbelief to allow for afew thousand years of innovation and discovery to be done by a single person in a week, but it's pretty well handled. The parallel storyline has it's conclusion without ever interacting with the main, so all set up for the next one in the series.
