A Flame in Hali

Marion Zimmer Bradley, Deborah J. Ross. Daw Books, $24.95 (466pp) ISBN 978-0-7564-0218-1

A little cutting might have benefited A Flame in Hali: Book Three of the Clingfire Trilogy, by Marion Zimmer Bradley and Deborah J. Ross, but fans should find this tale of incessant war among the Hundred Kingdoms a worthy addition to Bradley's original Darkover series. The menacing dragon on the jacket will cue high fantasy fans. Agent, Russell Galen. .
