Summary: Three thumbs up!
Review: The idea of multiple worlds is not new, yet Peter Garrison employs this concept with grace. In this second book of the Changeling Saga, Garrison builds on the characters, to let the reader know what position they will take later in the book and the saga. This book begins with the introduction of a new character, Growler, a mysterious being who comes from the Third World. Back on Earth, the Petranova's wage a battle against the Pale Man, aka Mr. Smith, because Smith has taken Roman Petranova's son, Ernie. Ernie's spirit has been sent to Castle while his body stays on Earth. Mrs. Mendeck sends Brian and Joe to Castle so that Brian can learn to become a Maker and so that Joe can find his cousin, Ernie's, spirit. The heroes meet up with a minor deity named Gontor and fall in with his crowd. The story ends as Brian finally meets up with Growler to begin his training.

Summary: A very Good Second Installment
Review: The Sorcerer's Gun by Peter Garrison is the second volume in the Changeling saga that was started in The Changeling War. It picks up right where the first book left us hanging. TSG is just as good as the first book and doesn't let up.The characters are developed further as we get a closer and more in depth look at the fantasy world of the castle. Some of the book still takes place in our "real" world as it did in the first book, but most of it takes place in castle. As some mysteries get resolved in this book, more get introduced. The plot grows, but it is still understandable and fun. This series is a great one for both veteran fantasy readers and for first time fantasy readers. This installment of the Changeling Saga ends like the first, with the reader hanging and wishing for more. The third volume is scheduled for publication in early 2000 so there won't be too long to wait!

Summary: Second in the Series
Review: The Sorcerer's Gun takes us back to the worlds established in The Changeling War. The war between earth and the Castle wages on, with the Pale Man seeking domination on both worlds. Joe Beast and his uncle, Roman Petranova wage their own war against the Pale Man to get back Roman's son, Ernie. Ernie's spirit has been released from his body and now resides in the dead, animated body of a soldier of the Gray. Mrs. Mendeck transport Brian and Joe to the Castle for Brian to further his magical education and for Joe to find his cousin. Eric Jacobson and Summitch continue in the company of a magical being, Gontor, and fight with the Army of the Green against the might of the Gray. We are also introduced to a new, mysterious character referred to as The Growler. This book focuses more on the Castle than it does on the earth, but the earth still plays a large part of the story. The characters are explored and developed a little more as well.
