Additional The Well of Eternity (WarCraft: War of the Ancients, Book 1) Information

Many months have passed since the cataclysmic Battle of Mount Hyjal, where the demonic Burning Legion was banished from Azeroth forever. But now, a mysterious energy rift within the mountains of Kalimdor propels three former warriors into the distant past -- a time long before orcs, humans or even high elves roamed the land. A time when the Dark Titan Sargeras, and his demon pawns persuaded Queen Azshara and her Highborne to cleanse Azeroth of its lesser races. A time when the Dragon Aspects were at the height of their power -- unaware that one of their own would soon usher in an age of darkness that would engulf the world of...War Craft®.

In the first chapter of this epic trilogy, the outcome of the historic War of the Ancients is forever altered by the arrival of three time-lost heroes: Krasus, the dragon mage whose great power and memories of the ancient conflict have inexplicably diminished; the human wizard Rhonin, whose thoughts are divided between his family and the seductive source of his now-growing power; and Broxigar, a weathered orc veteran who seeks a glorious death in combat. But unless these unlikely allies can convince the demigod, Cenarius, and the untrusting night elves of their queen's treachery, the burning Legion's gateway into Azeroth will open anew. And this time -- the struggles of the past may well spill over into the future...

What Customers Say About The Well of Eternity (WarCraft: War of the Ancients, Book 1):

I am deployed right now and being a hardcore WoW player, I do not get to play the game out here, so the books very much compensate that. It also answer questions like: How did Illidan become evil. The characters are very unique and the way he describes the personality and the relationships between the characters is phenominal. What happened during the first "World War". Richard A. Knaak just delivers from start to finish. I am by all means not an "avid" reader but I must say that this is one of the best trilogies I have ever read. What were the great Dragons or "Aspects" like.

Also you can visit some the characters in game. Who is Rhonin. Buy the whole Trilogy. Knaak steered in more of a Mature theme with this book, even describing in great detail how someone and/or how something died. Reading the first 5 pages will get you hooked. How did "Deathwing" come to be.

I am very suprised to read that Richad A. Because you really don't see that much gore in the game.This series will have you hooked and will make you not want to put down the book until it's finished. Read the trilogy and it will answer all of your questions, and to top it off you will have more of a respect to the Warcraft storyline and appreciate the game alot more. You will not be dissapointed.

THis book is the first of a trilogy. I highly recommend that if you read this book, you commit to reading the other two. This gives an excellent historical view of how the World of Warcraft evolved over time and how relationships developed, both good and bad.

This probably has something to do with the fact that this book was written by the same guy who wrote Day of the Dragon a book I liked at first but didn't like quite so much on subsequent rereads. I don't know if I just wasn't in the right mood or what. Ok, I have to admit it as much as I wanted to like this book considering the rave reviews I had heard and read hear on Amazon I did not like the story. Overall-Read it if you are a dragon fan who wants to be confused about the overall war craft timeline. The quality of the writing is still there and that is usually enough for me but not this time. Can we break some new ground here or tell some new stories instead of telling an alternate version of a story that all diehard Warcraft people know. There was also a time when I would buy the rest of the trilogy and make an attempt to read the books out of loyalty to the franchise that is not going to happen with there books.

As usual all fantasy books begin with a bland fisrt chapter however after this point the story really takes off. I finished this book in record time considering im not usually an avid reader.If you are a fan of warcraft lore and want to know the background to the evolving characters of the warcraft universe. I suggest starting with this book. I tuned page after page night after night, great work by Knakk5/5

It's the first warcraft book i read and its one of the best things i read(of course u have to like warcraft 1st XD)so i would recommend if u buy this book buy book 2 and 3 cuz you'll curse yourself when u get to the end of the first one :) good luck ppl
