About this listen

The first book in the Darkwar series, from world-wide bestselling author of Magician, Raymond E. Feist.

The Conclave of Shadows, the undercover organisation charged with the protection of Midkemia, have problems: the evil magician Leso Varen is still at large and thousands of portals to a parallel dimension inhabited by the cruel and fiendish Dasati, have been discovered in Novindus.

Leso Varen, a powerful and malign magician with the power to possess and transport himself from body to body, and his Nighthawk assassins are plotting chaos and annihilation in the royal house of Kesh. The Nameless One is awakening and needs Varen to help him re-emerge completely and tip the balance of good and evil in the world, plunging Midkemia into darkness and ruin.

But when the Conclave attempt to warn the Emperor, it becomes clear that many of the truebloods – nobles related by birth to the Emperor – are already Varen's slaves, both willing and unwitting, and the Conclave are forced into a race against time to save Great Kesh before evil engulfs the land.

Flight of the Night Hawks begins a brand new series from the master of fantasy, set on a grand scale; revisiting the exotic political-intrigue of Great Kesh (touched upon in the classic Riftwar books), and carrying the reader into a dark underworld of crime and black magic.

Feist is an amazingly creative writer

The narrator is excellent - the whole series is incredible - the best of its genre.

Brilliant story, thoroughly enjoyed

Faster paced and more enjoyable than the previous trilogy. I also thought the narration was better, perhaps Peter Joyce also enjoyed this book more too!

I enjoyed this one like I did many of the early books. It featured plenty of Pug, Nakor and other loved characters and the story was compelling so made me want to continually listen. There wasn’t any major twists or surprises, a bit formulaic, but a good story nonetheless.

Feist is my favourite

Stopped reading books. This is my return to the world of Pug. Easy to fit in while cooking and travelling.

The scope of this story just gets bigger

A great story moving to draw in more of the story of the Gods and their agents.

Too simple a plot

Too little happened in this book. Excellent to get back info the world of Pug and his friends, but the story was very simple. No twists, no betrayals, no bad decisions. Nothing new and exciting except a part explaining about the gods and their relationship with the worlds.
I am a Feist fan but this is not the best of his work.
