    <body><![CDATA[Genre: High Fantasy <br/><br/>Third and final book in the _Seventh Sword_ series. Wonderful!! End is somewhat bitter-sweet, as I'm starting to expect from Duncan's series ... but well worth the trip, and it has certainly been sticking with me. :-D]]></body>

    <![CDATA[The Riddle of the Goddess<br/><br/>Wallie Smith had been dying on another world when the Goddess transferred his mind to the body of the barbarian swordsman Shonsu. Then She gave him the great, magical Sapphire Sword of Chioxin and sent him on a mission.<br/><br/>All he had to do was to lead the arrogant band of swordsmen to destroy the sorcerers and their Fire God.<br/><br/>Now Wallie discovered that he'd already tried it -- and been hopelessly defeated.<br/><br/>A few complications cropped up. Wallie's reputation was in tatters. His best friend and pupil was apparently planning to betray him. And if he won, he would doom all hope of progress and learning in this World of the Goddess -- doom the Goddess Herself.<br/><br/>It made an interesting kind of riddle. All he had to do was find the solution -- and survive, if he could!]]>

    <![CDATA[The Riddle of the Goddess<br/><br/>Wallie Smith had been dying on another world when the Goddess transferred his mind to the body of the barbarian swordsman Shonsu. Then She gave him the great, magical Sapphire Sword of Chioxin and sent him on a mission.<br/><br/>All he had to do was to lead the arrogant band of swordsmen to destroy the sorcerers and their Fire God.<br/><br/>Now Wallie discovered that he'd already tried it -- and been hopelessly defeated.<br/><br/>A few complications cropped up. Wallie's reputation was in tatters. His best friend and pupil was apparently planning to betray him. And if he won, he would doom all hope of progress and learning in this World of the Goddess -- doom the Goddess Herself.<br/><br/>It made an interesting kind of riddle. All he had to do was find the solution -- and survive, if he could!]]>

    <![CDATA[Wally Smith, having died on Earth, finds himself reincarnated as a swordsman in another world and entrusted by the presiding goddess with a mission that has no appeal for him at all. Can he bring together all the swordsmen to finally defeat the Sorcerors and their terrible technology? Wally isn't quite convinced he should, but Goddesses can be very persuasive... This is the third and final exciting book, after THE RELUCTANT SWORDSMAN and THE COMING OF WISDOM in THE SEVENTH SWORD TRILOGY.]]>
