First in Salavtore's Ynis Aielle trilogy, one of his earlier works, and a fantastic read!At first I was skeptical of it, seemed a little too sci-fi for my tastes, but wound up really good.A submarine team going through the Bermuda Triangle gets sucked into a pocket of suspended time, and when they re emerge, they find that twelve centuries have past.World War 3 has come and gone, changing the face of the landscape they once knew. Humanity had essentially been wiped out and had been slowly rebuilding themselves alongside two 'mutated' human races that had cropped up in the passage of time: Goblins and Elves essentially.Four wizards arose from the first generation of survivors, charged by a higher power you never quite understand to keep the peace and help guide the new fledgling race of man. Of course over the years one of them goes rogue and instead of protecting the world, seeks to destroy it.Enter our submarine team. Apparently there is a prophecy kicking around and the team is the key to it, the key to saving or dooming the new world.Beautifully written, wonderfully paced, a fantastic read from start to finish. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
