The Telpin Man

Rating:
Summary: Can it get any better than this?
Review: Donald D. Thompson's Sol Chronicles rule. George Lucas or Steven Spielberg need to cut a deal with him right away so we can see this story on the big screen. The Telpin Man was an excellent sequel to The Final Solician. Thena's Boy was listed as coming in May and I have it marked on my calendar. The characters are real and very easy to visualize. I find my self feeling their emotions. Whatever Donald is doing needs to continue. I do not want to be disappointed.

Summary: Fantastic Sequel
Review: I love how the Author used characters from his previous book and implemented them into the setting for 1000 years later. The main plot interwoven with the many subplots is a great piece of writing. Donald D. Thompson is an up and comer with a whole world waiting to discover him

Summary: Well written sequel. Waiting for the next one
Review: The Telpin Man is the second in a ten part series of the Sol Chronicles. This story takes place far into the future of Venus. Many generations have passed and the closeness of the settlements of Morta, Vika and Zack have turned into separated colonies. While the colonies celebrate the historically traditional festivals, there is an undercurrent of deceit. Tempers flare, people die and bloodlines are drawn.
Enter Rand, a seemingly insignificant young man who becomes the last of the Telpin Men. With the powers derived from the Masters, Rand becomes mentally powerful and leads the colonies through the wars and sends the Mortans and the Vikans to off the planet to be successful someplace else. In the meantime, Rand and two supporters learn the truth about the Masters and battled them to a climatic finish. With the demise of the Masters, the Telpin and the humans find a cache of eggs and devise a plan to protect themselves from future harm. However the end of the book leaves open, the possibilities of future danger.
Now that the three colonies are spread throughout the universe, there will be many opportunities for future exploration and adventure. This book was well written, with several twists and turns that this reader did not expect. I look forward to the next book, Thena's Boy. Where will it start? What planet will be the baseline? How will the colonies be reunited? Questions I hope will be answered.
