Pandora's Box

Heirs of Cataclysm #2

by Christopher G. Nuttall

It’s not just a box, it’s an ancient weapon capable of destroying entire cities.

Deep within the badlands, warped and twisted by tainted magic and weirdlings, a box was discovered by archaeologists, secret wisdom lost in the Cataclysm. Those who found it are selling it to the highest bidder. If it falls into the wrong hands, their fragile civilization’s uneasy peace will be shattered once and for all.

John, along with his fellow adventurers, are hired to steal this ancient artifact so it can be safely destroyed. But stealing it is one thing, surviving it is another.

Everyone is after them, and they’re on the run, a bounty on their head so large every mercenary, rogue, and even old friends are willing to risk death to claim it.

And nothing is quite what it seems.

After the excellent, The Chimera Coup, Pandora's box starts also quite well with another mission by John's team but then it starts going in a direction that I didn't really like that much - not that was a surprise as there were earlier hints of that, but still, I thought the universe of the series has so much potential to waste that way; will see how volume 3 goes as I definitely plan to read it

As always a great tale!

I am afraid I am just a addicted Nuttall fan. Of course, some books are better than others and some are just quite extraordinary. This falls in the good tale and waiting for the next story category. Well worth a read.

Continual mayhem as a magically talented group of adventurers loyal to each other try to survive improbable odds to protect themselves as well as the known land. Hang on.

Another good book by Christopher Nuttall. The first book in the series was a five star one. This one did not reach more than four stars. It is obviously still a good book though. I was a bit disappointed with the twist of John’s mentor back at the Academy potentially becoming a bad guy. I also think his team being surprised, beaten up etc. etc. a bit too much. Still, I like the story and hope there will be some magic development, especially for John, in the next installment.
