In the mist-shrouded haze of the past, long before the beginning of recorded time, there stood the world of Azeroth. Every kind of magical being strode the countryside among the tribes of man, and all was at peace -- until the arrival of the demons and horrors of the Burning Legion and their baneful Lord Sargeras, dark god of chaotic magic. Now Dragons, Dwarves, Elves, Goblins, Humans, and Orcs all vie for supremacy across the scattered kingdoms -- part of a grand, malevolent scheme that will determine the fate of the world of
The Guardians of Tirisfal: a line of champions imbued with godlike powers, each one through the ages charged with fighting a lonely secret war against the Burning Legion. Medivh was fated from birth to become the greatest and most powerful of this noble order. But from the beginning a darkness tainted his soul, corrupting his innocence and turning to evil the powers that should have fought for good. Torn by two destinies, Medivh's struggle against the malice within him became one with the fate of Azeroth itself...and changed the world forever.
THE LAST GUARDIAN
An original tale of magic, warfare, and heroism based on the bestselling, award-winning electronic game from Blizzard Entertainment.
This book was written chronologically out of orderMarch 26, 2008 Ian E. Mcgonigal(Yokota AFB, Tokyo, Japan) This book should have been book one to the series, as it covers the story from the first game. I'm surprised for such a good author how un surprising the book was. If anyone has read the story written in Warcraft 1 manual. It's basically an expanded edition. Ok read for fantasy/warcraft fans.
Excellent read!January 9, 2008 L. Tschetter(Minneapolis, MN) As with most books, it took a chapter or two to really get into it. This book uses many familiar places within the Warcraft lore and was a most EXCELLENT read! The details and descriptions are just awesome. I had a hard time putting it down. Highly recommended if you love the Warcraft lore.
Warcraft excellenceAugust 9, 2007 Scot Whetsell(Illinois) I read this book book as part of an attempt to understand the history of the warcraft world and it came through in stunning style. A highly enjoyable read.
Great WOW history book.April 4, 2007 Patrick J. Mcgovern(Ossining,NY) Helped me understand alot of the backstory of the game. The best was seeing Khadgar in Shatt after I had finished the book, awesome. I would reccomend this book to anyone who plays WOW, or anyone that just enjoys fantasy novels.
One of my favorite books.February 3, 2007 Cyclone Claw This book takes place before, and during Warcraft: Orcs and Humans. It is the story of Medivh, told from the view of Khadgar, his newfound apprentice. It fully explains Medivh's actions in the games, though I don't want to spoil that. It also has a few characters people who played WC 1 and 2 may remember, such as Garona, King Llane, and Lothar. I feel that the book's description spoils too much for anyone not familiar with Medivh's story, it's like Star Wars: Reveng of the Sith in a way, if you're familiar with Star Wars you have a basic understanding of what Anikin will do, but you still want to see HOW and WHY it happened. Definiately better for people with basic Warcraft knowledge, though I think you could have never heard of it and still enjoy the book.
