Now First Level Librarian Jugh, a small halfling and former slave, and his old friend, the wizard Craugh, go in search of Wick, who was last seen in hot pursuit of The Book of Time, a dangerously powerful tome that has been broken into four pieces for the world's safety. Joined by brave elves, dwarves and humans, Jugh and Craugh fight against tremendous odds in an effort to rescue Wick from evil Aldhran Khemphus. They must also discover another mysterious library and find the key to release the vault of true knowledge to all.

From BooklistThe third in a series that began with The Rover (2002) takes up where The Destruction of the Books (2004) left off. The Vault of All Known Knowledge has been all but destroyed in the battle with attacking evil forces. Juhg, apprentice to Edgewick Lamplighter, the vault's grandmagister, once again is the protagonist. Accompanied by companions who include the wizard Craugh, Juhg, who would prefer to attempt to rescue the grandmagister from his Goblinkin captors, reluctantly embarks on the task set him by the grandmagister--to find and reunite the four hidden sections of The Book of Time and keep it out of the hands of the dark forces. The quest for the sections is fraught with danger as the companions travel to the far reaches of the land in their search. The story's fast pace, violent action, camaraderie among the companions, and leavening humor add up to a hard-to-put-down page-turner. Sally EstesCopyright © American Library Association.
