This runs concurrently with events depicted in other books in the series, but those events are in the background, and mentioned only as they affect the foreground action of this book. An interesting read for those, like me, who've read the rest of the series, but I suspect a little bit too much for anyone new to it. Quite a long book. I did enjoy the second-half more, where we get into events not covered in previous books (as far as I remember!).
I'm certainly looking forward to the next one, which should move the whole series forward.
Now for a change of pace -
My Son, the Wizard by Christopher Stasheff. The fifth in a fantasy series. I've read the others and enoyed them (although some time ago). From the first few pages, I think I'll be able to pick up without any difficulty.
