Chance brings Wayfinder to Ben of Purkinje, who uses it to find Woundhealer, the sword with powers to cure the injured wife of Prince Mar of Sarykam. The evil magician Wood also wants the swords; his attack on Ben brings Mark, and even more swords, into the fray. Followers of the series--the fantasy equivalent of a space opera--will recognize almost all of the characters from earlier books, in which the villains start out with all the aces while the heroes struggle on through decency, intelligence and willpower to satisfying outcomes. Veteran Saberhagen ( Empire of the East ) keeps the plot moving, providing a pleasurable light reading experience. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.
