Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
Since the beginning of time, the angelic forces of the High Heavens andthe demonic hordes of the Burning Hells have been locked in an eternal conflict for the fate of all Creation. That struggle has now spilled over intoSanctuary -- the world of men. Determined to win mankind over to their respective causes, the forces of good and evil wage a secret war for mortal souls. This is the tale of the Sin War -- the conflict that would forever change the destiny of man.

Three thousand years before the darkening of Tristram, Uldyssian, son of Diomedes, was a simple farmer from the village of Seram. Content with his quiet, idyllic life, Uldyssian is shocked as dark events quickly unfold around him. Mistakenly blamed for the grisly murders of two traveling missionaries,Uldyssian is forced to flee his homeland and set out on a perilous quest to redeem his good name. To his horror, he has begun to manifest strange new powers -- powers no mortal man has ever dreamed of. Now, Uldyssian must grapple with the energies building within him -- lest they consume the last vestiges of his humanity.

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - as a reader of the book...
the very first book in the sin war trilogy was a decent starter book to the trilogy. i know there are some poo-pooers saying that knaak`s work in this was lacking. however, i`d like to tell potential buyers that this book is a pretty good ride, through and through, and well worth your money. the tension throughout is palpable, the mystery intense. read the sample and see what i mean...



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Disappointing
Decent book, not bad, but is rediculously slow paced to me. The series is definatly my least favorite of knaacks. The characters are ok, but the don't really stand out much at all. I've seen mny reviews of other books citing underdeveloped/poor characters, this is the 1st book that I can really agree with those statements.

It's alright if you want to waste a good chunck of time/for the collection, but if you just want to know backstory I would suggest finding a nice summary, instead of wading through the book.

Also, I think its worth noting the game it is based on is a hack and slash, complete opposite of the book.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Gift for son
Bought this as a gift for my son that likes this series. He said it was good and enjoyed reading it.



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Very Dissapointing....

I'm a big Diablo fan and recently decided to try out this book after getting all excited about the Diablo 3 announcement. I'm disappointed to have to say that it is really bad. The writing is very amateurish and just plain bad. I have seen better writing on internet fan fiction sites. I won't be buying any other Diablo books, and this experience has me soured on game-based fiction in general



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - As advertised
Book was received in the conditioned advertised and in a quick matter. Loved the Diablo games, but so far haven't really got into the books.
