After discovering a shocking secret about himself he never could have imagined&amp;#8212;all in pursuit of the legendary Orb&amp;#8212;Garion and his fellow adventurers must escape a crumbling enemy fortress and flee across a vast desert filled with ruthless soldiers whose only aim is to destroy them.

Somehow, Garion has to face the God, to kill or be killed. On the outcome of this dread duel rests the future of the world. But how can one man destroy an immortal God?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#8220;Fabulous . . . Eddings has a marvelous storyteller style . . . exceedingly well portrayed and complex people. . . .

    <body><![CDATA[A favorite of mine as a child, with characters of perhaps a stereotypical sort, but well-written and enjoyable in the end.  Plenty of magic, mayhem, plots, and characters, these books whet my appetite for fantasy.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[ I've been on a fantasy binge for the past couple months. I worked my way through the Belgariad, the Mallorean, and Belgareth the Sorcerer.<br/><br/>All quite good. Fantasy, adventure, with a bit of humor. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Along with the MALOREAN (which is the series of sequels), the BELGARAD was one of my favorite fantasy stories growing up. I've re-read this series many times, and enjoy it immensely each time. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My favorite fantasy series and I have read them multiple times.  It moves along quickly, but has the right amount of detail so that you can picture all of the characters involved.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I love the tongue-in-cheek humor  that David and Leigh (although she isn't credited until Polgara) bring to their fantasy series.  This is classic epic adventure at its best.]]></body>
