Hipper Crit is a riveting tale of high adventure. Largely mythical, the Chronicles take us on a voyage of discovery, for this journey isn’t only geographical, but also personal.
Under the guidance of Don Caminus, Hipper Crit must reach the Far Country, but once detoured into the Land of Altered Perspective, many obstacles challenge this goal. Sophus, Pessimus and Wanderlust each have their own brand of wisdom, and Hipper Crit is constantly weighing up the advice he receives, while lurking in the background is the fearsome Mandible Gnaw, whose cunning and malice are unsurpassed.
But Hipper Crit also discovers that assistance is close at hand, for the High Council has dispatched Rhindol and Bandor for the express purpose of delivering The Willing to the Far Country and defeating the terrible Gnaw. They are unrelenting in their efforts to complete their task, but when confronted by Gnaw’s final desperate scheme, they must rely on the unlikely help of one they were supposed to assist in order to deliver the company to its destination.
