Sebastian Darke; his snarky buffalope, Max; and fierce fighter Cornelius are off on another hair-raising quest after being hired by a rich merchant to seek out the legendary lost city of Mendip.
Not only must they find it, they must bring back valuable proof of its existence. Little do they know that Sebastian is definitely not the hero type. He just wants to bring back valuable proof of the lost city. But will the price they must pay outweigh the rewards? Hardcover , pages.

Lists with This Book. This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Es hat irgendwie die moralischen Werte gewechselt und versucht sie zum Ende wieder gerade zu biegen. Apr 27, Phillip rated it liked it. Once again Sabastian Darke, the half elf, ventures forth to make his fortune; this time into the deepest jungles in search of a lost city. Peril seems to stalk our one time jester and his diminutive warrior companion, Cornelius, down any path they follow or, in this case, hack into being with a machete. The presence of danger is almost as interminable as the pessimistic witticisms of the third member of their trio, Max, the sentient buffalope.
Philip Caveney opens up new vistas in his fantasy wor Once again Sabastian Darke, the half elf, ventures forth to make his fortune; this time into the deepest jungles in search of a lost city. Philip Caveney opens up new vistas in his fantasy world filling this corner with primitive tribes at war, a perilous river journey, and, finally, the hidden city itself and the terrible secret it harbors.
He also introduces a new romantic interest for Sebastian in the form of a tribal princess eager to fulfill the prophesies that she would marry a champion with pointed ears.
With Sebastian still enraptured his love interest from his last adventure currently pursuing her own adventure elsewhere , Caveney squeaks out every awkward moment between them that he can in this comedy of errors. This volume is more anchored by moments of serious consequence than his previous offerings, and we can see the author stretching toward more solid storytelling.
Dec 05, Miss Ryoko rated it liked it Shelves: I really enjoyed it! Each book had a new adventure that was pretty different from the last.
This one had the twist of the supernatural with zombie-like creatures called Night Runners, so that was neat. And even though I was sad about it, I was happy there wasn't entirely a happy ending for all the characters.
I always appreciate when authors do that. Philip Caveney is a fantastic writer.
The books are easy to read and engaging, an Actual rating: The books are easy to read and engaging, and even though they are pretty hefty, it's easy to get lost in their pages. I read all three books in about a months time.
Usually it takes me a month to read one book just because I get busy doing other things and don't read as much, so that speaks to how fun these books were to read. I really loved the characters and found them all charming in their own way. The books are basic adventure books but despite that, they have their own charm and draw in the reader. Fun characters paired up with Caveney's easy but still well written writing makes these books enjoyable and entertaining.

It was frustrating how every character managed to die but the three protagonists and the clingy female. I felt that the writer strained to establish the setting as an epic fantasy world, but couldn't keep it consistent when writing the dialogue. Plus all the attempts to incorporate humor were lame, which is a shame considering that the main protagonist is supposed to be a talented jester.
Perhaps the writer should have chose a more fitting title for his hero. Given all those, however, I think th It was frustrating how every character managed to die but the three protagonists and the clingy female. Given all those, however, I think this was a decent attempt at writing an adventure story for young readers. The language was simple enough to understand, and there were "sweetheart" scenes all over the place--which I think the young girls would love.
I would say that the only reason I didn't like it as much is because I am a bit too old to be reading books like these, but my younger year-old sister agreed with pretty much everything I said, so Jul 08, Alejandro OC rated it it was amazing.
The trilogy is now over, and it had such an awesome ending! I'm a little upset that there will be no more Sebastian Darke books, but Philip Caveney did an amazing job this time. I think this book is the most 'emotional' book of the three, I think everything that happened in the lost city of Mendip really touched me.
I really loved it! It's a great book if you want to read something with a little touch of adventure. Totally recommend the series to everyone! I love the character relationships, S The trilogy is now over, and it had such an awesome ending! Aaron's relationship with the children of Mendip was so sad, all Aaron had done for the children I enjoyed it a lot, there's a mixture of everything.
