Summary: Grandmaster Giles
Comment: Buffy makes a mistake in present-day Sunnydale with far-reaching consequences, and finds herself magically transported into the nightmare future her miscalculation has created. There, Buffy has been a prisoner of the vampires for five years. The creatures of the night have conquered Sunnydale and its surrounding cities, and are continuing to expand under the tutelage of a new leader more crafty and experienced than the Master: Rupert Giles, Buffy's former Watcher. If Buffy can't escape and make her way back to her own time, this is the world that will come to pass - a world in which most of her friends and loved ones are dead.
When Christopher Golden pulls out the stops, he's hard to beat, and here he's pulled out the stops. This mammoth Buffy novel has everything any fan could want, and even non-fans might enjoy the story for its own apocalyptic roller-coaster ride. It's reminiscent of the T.V. series' best episode, "The Wish," in which all the characters everyone has come to know and love succumb to a nightmarish alternate-dimension vampire Armageddon, though The Lost Slayer is its own story.
The only real complaint that can be made about this tome is its ungainly length, the consequence of its being a bind-up of four previous shorter serial novels - which could easily have been streamlined both editorially and in reduction of typeset size when published in a single volume - but that is a small complaint for a big book. A VERY big book.

Summary: A Good "What If" Story
Comment: As you've read in the other reviews, this book takes place mostly in the future. One wrong move, and Buffy is rocketed 5 years into the future, where vampires have taken over and she is imprisoned to keep another Slayer from being called. She escapes and learns that although most of her friends are still fighting the good fight, they've changed...
I've read this omnibus at least four times, and as soon as I'm finished Monster Island, I plan on picking it up again. Another reviewer complained that the future characters have no sense of humour. I think that only underscores how dreary and dangerous their lives have become without Buffy to save the day. (Sounds trite, but she is the Slayer.)
I'm one of the only adults I know who reads the Buffy books. I loved the show, and I enjoy the books. Golden knows the characters well; you can close your eyes and imagine Sarah, Alyson, and Nicholas acting this book out. I gave this book 5 stars. Read it.

Summary: Totally Worth Reading
Comment: Couldn't wish for a better Buffy book. The way they challenged her, and made her look like truly the best Slayer. Her conflict with Willow made it almost seem real. Many of the things she went through lived up to the expectaitons of the tipical Buffy fan. The futuristic detail, and sadness moved my heart. I never wanted to put the book down. The discovery of an old breed of vampire, and Giles being the king of Darkness was fasinating. How Buffy was able to move to and from the future made this book totaly worth reading.
