Part 3 of the Seekers Trilogy sees our ‘Seekers of Light’ travelling back across the waters to their homeland, and picks up immediately from the events in ‘The Stuff of Stars’.
Orah and Nathaniel are joined by many others on their return voyage to their homeland, Kara and Caleb represent the Technos and the Greenies from the other land, and represent those that have come with the Seekers to see their home, the land of the Vicars, and the Keep. They have come with them to see if they can help with the fight against the darkness, but also to help with the progress of the other land, and to get ideas of how to help themselves. With a good exchange of knowledge, there is the chance to set up trade.
However (without giving away too many spoilers), what they return to is not what they left. The Vicars and Deacons have risen in their absence, striking against the keep and technology. This story becomes a battle of values, and although originally it was a battle fought through fear on one side and virtue on the other, now it has become a much different beast. Now both sides have access to technology, to weapons, now it is not just about values.
Litwack again uses his characters in this book in a compelling, and masterful way to tell his story, letting them not only be the heroes and villains, as he has in the other volumes, but also tell the emotional tale. Litwack weaves a stunning tale of the emotional impact the journey has on Orah and Nathaniel, how it has changed them from the innocent young girl she was in the first book, to the strong leader she is now, and from the young boy he was in to the warrior Nathaniel has become, willing to not only fight for his beliefs, but to kill to defend those he loves. Litwack explores both his main characters and the terrible toll being a Seeker has taken. It is a beautifully written story, with such elegant prose and language.
Litwack has also taken the time to generate a beautiful landscape for his story to take place in, with wonderful detail that allows you to fully immerse yourself into his world as you read.
This is a wonderful conclusion to a truly remarkable series. It is easily comparable to the works of Wyndham’s ‘The Chrysalids’, or John Christopher’s ‘The Tripods’ series, or several other series of a similar vain. The difference with this series is that David Litwack writes with such beautiful language, making these books so easy, and such a pleasure to read. This is one of those special series that only come along every now and then, and should not be missed.
