Richard La Plante's engrossing fantasy-fiction saga Tegn Soul Warrior continues with Book Two, Tegn The Killing Blow. In the first volume, Tegn , Warlord of Zendow, has successfully faced the test of the heart and slain the Beast-his lover Neeka. Yet, now, Neeka's spirit has returned to torment Tegn , plaguing him with visions of a post-cataclysmic land of glass and steel and an ominous presence-"The Warrior." Fans of the first volume will definitely want to continue the journey with Book Two; however the sequel also stands completely on its own. Volume Two is set in the not-too-distant future after the polar ice has melted, causing catastrophic changes to Planet Earth. In Tegn The Killing Blow, Richard La Plante skillfully weaves a plot of intrigue that transcends known dimensions and realities.
I read Tegne some time ago. My interest in Martial arts and all things Eastern had drawn me to it. I really enjoyed it and hoped that La Plante would write a sequel (it was really set up for one). Finally I found it. It had only been published in Europe so it was not easy to find. It has a totally different feel from the first novel and frankly really stretches one's ability to suspend disbelief. However, having said that, that book really grew on my...it took two readings, but I really enjoyed the action sequences and the interesting twists that La Plante used in the novel. If you enjoyed the first, take the time to read the second. You won't be dissappointed.
