Summary: Outstanding
Comment: This book was well writen and really explained a lot about the history of Kalimdor, and the Burning Legion. I would definintly suggest this book to anybody who is into Warcraft.

Rating: 5
Summary: A GREAT read...
Comment: This is a great book for any WarCraft fan. The premise is, admittedly, fanciful (randomly transporting an Orc and two mages into the middle of the War of the Ancients?), but the book completely compensates for that. The story is quite gripping, and it fleshes out the characters of many figures in WarCraft who go mainly unexplained (eg. Cenarius). This story fits in well with the gripping WarCraft storyline, and can even be read by someone who is completely unaquainted with the WarCraft universe. Thus, I give it 5 stars, and eagerly anticipate the next book.

Rating: 4
Summary: Decent entertainment for fans of Warcraft
Comment: I found this book to be good entertainment, especially for someone like me who considers himself to be a hardcore Warcraft buff. It provided an above-average story, a more in-depth look at many of the Warcraft characters we've come to love (particularly the Night Elf heroes of Warcraft 3), and a large chunk of Warcraft history/lore (the first invasion of Azeroth by the Burning Legion) that has not been touched on before in any Warcraft product.

That having been said, I couldn't give this book 5 stars because I felt that the whole "time travel" thing was cheesy. Basically, without giving away any spoilers, the book centers on two characters (a human and a dragon-mage) from the novel "Day of the Dragon," along with an orc companion, that somehow managed to slip back into time 10,000 years, when the Burning Legion was preparing their first invasion. It just felt like an ad hoc excuse to put orcs and humans (traditionally the main races of the Warcraft series) into a period of time where they historically did not exist on Azeroth (according to Warcraft lore).

But overall, it's still a great book. Fans of the Warcraft series should definitely get it, and if you've never heard of Warcraft, this is still a great story in and of itself.
