The Fall of Neskaya The Clingfire Trilogy Volume I Marion Zimmer Bradley Deborah J Ross 9780756400538 Books

This book was written by Deborah J. Ross in the Darkover world created by Marion Zimmer Bradley; apparently, the idea and some of the early plot concepts came from Ms. Bradley before her death, but the majority of the actual writing was done by Ms. Ross. Nonetheless, it rang true as a Darkover novel; it had the feel of Bradley's writing. I'm given to understand that Ms. Ross had been working with Ms. Bradley for years, and understood her world as well as anyone. It has the added benefit that Ms. Ross actually has a better talent for detail than Ms. Bradley when it comes to proofreading her own work, so there are none of the sloppy mistakes that Ms. Bradley sometimes allowed to slip into her writing. This novel is set in the Ages of Chaos, before the Compact was signed that prevented the use of laran in warfare.

I honestly think that this is one of the best Darkover novels, even though it was not, for the most part, written by Marion Bradley. The characters were vivid, the plot excellent, the writing superb. A fine addition to a very fine series.

The Fall of Neskaya The Clingfire Trilogy Volume I Marion Zimmer Bradley Deborah J Ross 9780756400538 Books Reviews

MS Ross is doing a great job of filling in for Marion Bradley. And as a longtime reader of the Darkover novels, I appreciate her continuing on.
A great story that helps fill in the gaps in Darkener's awesome history!
The latest Marion Zimmer Bradley, although Posthumously, has continued to give me more of Darkover, which I would like to see continued. Although, we tragically lost MZB in 1999, I am still thrilled at the prospect of her legacy living on through her collaborations. This is a wonderful story of good deeds and suspense, of the evils of greed and lust for power, of the great saying that the road to hell is led by good intentions and of a story well written and of purpose. I only hope that we will get to see and read the next two parts of this trilogy in the next few years. I recommend this story to any MZB fan and for those who would like to fill in some of the pieces to the Darkover saga in a time of strife and chaos that leads to the years known as the "Hastur Rebellion." I also want to know more about the development of King Carolin and his relationship with Varzil the Good - a sorceror known well into the modern day Darkover fold.
This book is great, like all the Darkover novels, it could stand by itself and works well right into the rest of the books. If you like reading about a different world, and not read the same old stories then these are the books. In this one you get to see a romance and a little more of the personal side of the characters, it is not as much focused on strategy. It also goes into the potential power of the mind, as that subject seems to come up in a lot of areas of everyday life, this brings out more aspects.
This is the first book in the Clingfire Trilogy and it is a good beginning. I have read later stories and found it good to develop some of the basic storylines. It gives some good background for future stories.
When I read a Darkover book, I want to forget I'm reading and just GO there. I have been reading in this series for over 20 years, and I, like all her fans, was sure that with Bradley's death, we'd be left without any more visits to the planet of the bloody sun.
Although I enjoyed the story line of the Margaret Alton books, I hated them with a passion. They were too long, rambling, and committed the ultimate sin They TOLD you instead of SHOWED you. I know that Bradley often commented on this problem in the stories sent to her for her Darkover anthologies, and it grates on my nerves like fingernails on a chalkboard.
So I had some trepidation about this book, even though its co-author was different from the other trilogy. I read it and loved it, but my expectations were low at the time. Now I have re-read it, and I saw even more in the book this time than I did the first. And I "went to Darkover" just the way I wanted to, something I was never able to do with the Exile's Song trilogy.
I was stunned to see one negative review here, comparing this book UNFAVORABLY to those. I'm an editor and I positively itched to take a red pencil to the Margaret Alton books... one more redundant "psychic dialogue" between characters and I would have screamed. I'm sure as some have pointed out there were inconsistencies in The Fall of Neskaya from other Darkover books... hell, Bradley made a few of those herself. <G> But it was a great read, with great characters, and anyone who wants a return trip to Darkover will not be at all disappointed.
On the literary side, the plot developed wonderfully and tension built throughout as the concept of The Compact (the very foundation of Darkover culture after the time of the Hundred Kingdoms) was created by the primary characters. The primary characters and motives that drive the entire four-volume series were very skillfully developed.

A primary concern was that there were grammatical and spelling errors throughout. It appeared as if the manuscript were drafted in long-hand and then converted by a software program. The broken words and sentences were constant enough to have taken the reader away from the story repeatedly.
