Usually when an on going series takes a "special" path in order add more depth or a surprising turn of events and does such things as a trilogy withing the series itself, it can be disappointing because lack of continuity with the previous installments or lack of description or completness in the idea trying to be set forth. In the newest installment of the Outlanders series, Book one of the Imperor Wars -- Doom Dynasty, the author [whose proper name I will withhold because I do not know if it is proper to reveal it as James Axler is a very well known nome de plume] has conquered this challenge successfully and quite thrillingly. Again, which is the author's signature, he weaves both action and situations with in depth characterization that only leaves you wanting for the next installment. His characters are very human (and in some cases in-human!)in their responses and the reader can actually understand and/or sympahtize/empathize with what is happening. It is the feeling of personal identification with the characters that draws the reader in deeper into the plot and situation of the story. And which makes the surprising turns of plot and character's insights all the more startling. For those who follow the Outlanders series as I do, I am not disappointed with the way the author has integrated the past facts of the series with new information. It flows both logically and smoothly that a dedicated reader is not bored with what some other series books often turn into "tedious review" of the past. In fact, for those who have not read any of the previous books would find this an easy introduction to the Outlanders series. There is enough information for novice readers to understand what the entire series is based on, yet be able to enjoy the fresh new turn the series has taken. Either way, the end will leave the reader waiting in eager anticipation for the next installment--Tigers of Heaven, Book II of the Imperor Trilogy.
