I'm really curious, will there be a book, about what happens in the world after the destruction of Reluce?


       Ethe posts on 11/7/2006 2:27:54 PM

Modesitt is one of the best authors ever! I love all of his series espsecially the Corean Chronicles.I can't find 'Order War' in any shop though. Does anyone know where I could get it?

L. E. Modesitt will be joined by 5 other science fiction and fantasy authors for a booksigning at the University Campus Store at the University of Utah on November 15, 2006 from 5 to 7 pm. These authors include David Farland, Brandon Sanderson, Robert Defendi, Eric James Stone, and Josh Clemens.

I think that my personal favorites are the corean cronical's... I also like the pair of cyador books. Death of Chaos left me feeling pretty shocked... almost didn't continue reading his works after that... One problem with the Corean books... I can't put them down... read the fourth book (alector's choice) in ~ 2 day's... read the fifth book (Cadmian's choice) in ~ 10 - 12 hours... Now I'm considering pre-ordering the sixth book which is supposed to be out in ~ 2 weeks... :)

read recluce in the order (haha) that he wrote them. Modesitt was discovering this universe at hte same time he was writing it... To try and follow the books in chronological order would put you dealing with balances you were not ready to face... if you get my drift... there is a reason all the answers aren't given. oh yeah, by the way... Lerris is GUNNAR'S son; Justen is his uncle...

Amazon says Soarer's Choice will be published on 14 Nov. 2006.

I have read this series many times and it is among my favorites. I have seen both the hard cover and paper back version and have noticed that the map in the paper backs is far too blurry and is barley legible, unlike in the hardcover. I have been looking for map on-line for some time now and have been unable to find anything of quality. If anyone knows where one is and would be so kind as to send me a link I would appreciate it.

Just finished "Alector's Choice" and "Cadmian's Choice" and love them. (I have all the Recluce and Songspell series books.) The book list inside "Cadmian's Choice" lists the 3rd book in this trilogy as "Soarer's Choice" and says "forthcoming." Does anyone know when that book might be released?


       Anonymous posts on 2/25/2006 4:14:45 PM

I have read all of the Recluce novels up to dat, all of the corean chronicles up to date and the timegod series. Does anyone else think that Modesitt has an inside view of politics today (he did spend 20 years in D.C.)? It just seems like there is something else there that i haven't found in other writers, like an inside track on the way the world works. Anyone else get that feeling


       The commentator Sri_Barence posts on 2/24/2006 12:56:57 PM

There is a fifth book scheduled for April 2006, called, "Cadmian's Choice," according to an "official" Modesitt, Jr. site.


       The commentator Magpie_Hunter posts on 1/31/2006 6:52:15 PM

The last one I know of is Alector's Choice. Is there one after that? I'm willing to bet that there will be another Corean volume sometime. And I hope so too; the Corean Chronicles are some of his best work. Don't you think?


       Anonymous posts on 1/31/2006 10:23:42 AM

Does anyone know if modesitt is going to come out with anymore books in the Corean Chronicles?


       The commentator Magpie_Hunter posts on 9/8/2005 6:09:43 PM

Nope, sorry weswes77, I haven't seen a map for Corus online anywhere. My suggestion is to maybe go to the library, pull it off the shelf, and photo copy the map. The map in the hardback is nicer...


       The commentator weswes77 posts on 9/7/2005 11:55:18 AM

I am reading the Corean chronicles and enjoy them. But I read ebooks. Doherty books has decided not to include maps in their ebooks. Does anyone know where there is a map of Corus online? It would make it easier to follow Alucius. Thanks.


       M_H posts on 8/22/2005 3:22:55 PM

I recommend to read the series in the order that they were published. Modesitt would have written them in chronological order if that were the way they should be read, right?


       Kris posts on 8/18/2005 6:36:47 PM

So I've been reading the Recluse series in order from publication date, and its seems that doing that really isnt what a reader should do...example. I've read Magic Of Recluce, Towers, Magic Engineer, and am now halfway through Oder War... SPOILERS So I totally forgot that Lerris is Justens son, and I really cant even recall that being said in MOR. Its probably just me being forgetfull, it HAS been a long time since I've picked up these books, but to get to the point.... Do you recomend reading the books in chrological order by publication date rather that Recluse date, or vice versa?


       The commentator Magpie_Hunter posts on 6/20/2005 10:23:52 PM

Actually, we do meet Justen again for just a bit in Wellspring of Chaos.


       The commentator Randy posts on 6/20/2005 6:54:11 PM

Hey Magpie, upon your recommendation I have gotten the first two books of the Corean Chronicles. Thanks for the tip.


       The commentator Carol Giordano posts on 6/20/2005 1:49:12 PM

What about a continuation of the story of Justen and Dayala or the continuation of the story of Nyan and Ayrlyn struggles to carve our their lives in the accursed forest. Not enough about druids and the forest part of Candar.


       The commentator Magpie_Hunter posts on 6/17/2005 8:24:25 AM

Tirza, it's awesome that you have started reading the Recluce series. You should thank whoever gave you the books as a gift. There is a website that has posted the chronology of Recluce.
