Crusader (Wayfarer Redemption)

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
At the start of Douglass's powerful conclusion to her Wayfarer Redemption saga (after 2005's Pilgrim), the surviving people of Tencendor have taken refuge in Sanctuary, where they are under siege by star-traveling demons, the TimeKeepers. When treason threatens the resistance, DragonStar, the swordswoman Faraday and other fighters leave Sanctuary in an effort to defeat their opponents through attrition rather than pitched battle. Along the way, the defenders confront any number of knotty ethical dilemmas. Faraday resolves the ambiguities of her feelings for DragonStar, and a host of secondary characters (headed by DragonStar's father, Axis) all play roles that most long-standing readers of this complex fantasy series will find satisfying. Given the large cast and a narrative broken into many short scenes, a glossary is particularly useful, even for those with a good grasp of the backstory. (May)

From Booklist
The sixth and final novel of The Wayfarer Redemption starts with the Timekeeper demons besieging the humans of Tencendor in their last refuge, Sanctuary. Drago, now known as DragonStar Sunsoar, is prepared to send the demons to their own place. But humans being humans, there is always someone willing to deal with the enemy. In the end, the human survivors must leave Sanctuary and wear down the demons in far-flung battles of attrition. Tons of action, myriad characters in all stages of development (the glossary of names at the end is quite helpful), and a classic plot concluded with a nice twist should please everyone who has enjoyed the previous five books: The Wayfarer Redemption (2000), Enchanter (2001), Starman (2002), Sinner (2004), and Pilgrim (2005).
