Dark dwarves...darker schemes...and rising chaos. For generations the baser clans of Thorbardin have raged against Hylar, ancestral rulers of the vast underground realm. Now, the finest Hylar army has marched away to face the Knights of Takhisis - and the dark dwarves see their opportunity.
Besieged in the Life Tree that is their fortress city, the Hylar struggle to survive. Magic and madness threaten from all sides as Theiwar, Daergar, and Klar press the onslaught with bloodthirsty frenzy. The forces of Chaos join the battle against all dwarvenkind. And hopes grow dim as the Hylar face ultimate betrayal and confront the specter of Torbardin's ultimate doom.This exciting new novel by popular Dragonlance author Douglas Niles tells the tale of the legendary dwarven kingdom during the Chaos War, the backdrop for The New York Times best-selling novel, Dragons of Summer Flame.

The Last Thane Dragonlance The Chaos War Book 1 (Audible Audio Edition) Douglas Niles Clinton Wade Audible Studios Books Reviews
I always felt that Douglas Niles was one of the best Dragonlance writers. His latest book is good but lacks. It has a very exciting storyline and very evil villians and great battle scenes. It gave a lot of insight into the Dwarven realms, more than some other books featuring the dwarves. The end is kind of a quick fix scenario though. But I recommend to read it anyway. P.S. People keep saying that the idea about how after all these years the Hylar dwarves finally come out to fight is ridiculous and that it would never happen. Well, I seem to recall that it was mentioned briefly in Dragons of Sping Dawning that the dwarves of Thorbardin did come out to fight at the end of the War of the Lance. So its not so ridiculous and stop ridiculing Douglas Niles about it.
This is Douglas Niles's 6th DragonLance novel (7th if you count Flint, The King, which he co-wrote w/Mary Kirchoff), and by far his worst. But, that is not to say the book is not worth reading. It is, if only for the simple reason to want to stay "current" with the DragonLance series. The overall story works well enough, but there is a series continuity error in the very premise the Hylar army has left Thorbardin to battle abroad. In the DL world, the dwarves of Thorbardin (especially the Hylar) are nothing if not taciturn and unwilling to leave thier mountain fortress to fight a battle against the foes of other races, even if those other races are their allies. Thus, it seems highly strange that they would abandon this millennia-old practice to go and fight the Dark Knights of Takhisis in Solamnia now. If they were the typical dwarves of Thorbardin, they would be bulking up on their own defenses, not worrying about someone else's. Other than that, the o! nly real problems are spelling and grammar errors, along with a couple "minor" ones. These minor ones are as follows
1. The names of the main character dwarves in this book seem highly non-dwarvish Pounce Quickspring, Baker Whitegranite, etc.; Pounce Quickspring sounds more kenderish than dwarven.
2. The sought-after artifact in this novel, the Platinum Egg, is supposedly connected to the Grotto of the first dragons, although none of this information coincides with Niles's novel on this, The Dragons.
3. The daemon warriors and fire dragons (indeed, all the Chaos creatures) were said to have been created by Chaos, not summoned from another plane of existence, as the main character daemon warrior-fire dragon team are.
4. The adding of a surname to Chert Gneiss, a previously created character whose name is acceptable without the new appellation of Truesilver.
5. The Helm of Tongues- one of the novel's plot devices -seems very contradictory to its nature in ! this book.
So, to sum it all up TLT is a good read and a! n entertaining story that leaves the fate of Thorbardin in the Fifth Age somewhat of a mystery, but some of the points of this story scream "contradiction" like I have never seen before.
The idea of how the dwarven nation's would deal with the emergence of chaos had me intrigued enough to purchase the book and, although I don't regret the decision,I do feel Niles could have detailed more parts of the plot. For example Tarn and Belexia's relationship didn't have the intimacy it implied ( admittedly they are dwarves,a notorious race for not showing any emotion beyond anger).I felt also that Tarn's character had a lot more potential that it reached.His personna was to insubstantial,going from jovial to desperate in just the space of a few sentences.This might have something to do with the long build up then very brief climax and ending.I would have liked to have seen more of Zarak Thuul and his flaming dragon mount being, after all, the ultimate villain. That said I found Niles interpretation of the ever loved gully dwarfs to be most amusing and enjoyable ( e.g Regal Everwise's acceptance to take Tarn to where he desires only because there's "no more beer".) I also particularly enjoyed his dwarven villains, Slickblade being my personal favourite, and his glimpse's into Dark Dwarven society. Very different from the Dwarven Nations Trilogy.Although an enjoyable read I felt it lacked the desperation needed for the Chaos war background and could, unfortunately, be improved upon. By no means Niles best effort but don't totally dismiss it.
Amazing! I LOVE DRAGONLANCE
Mediocre for Niles
building my collection - thanks for helping - the rest of thsi is filler because of the darn minimum requirements - why do they do dumb stuff like this?
Loved this book and the series!
The first of the Chaos War series (if you exclude the Doom Brigade), this book is set in the depths of the dwarven kingdon, chaos strike during a political and civil unrest. Well written and quite enjoyable.
