Alle Exemplare der Ausgabe mit dieser ISBN anzeigen:This is a highly original fantasy novel that turns away from the conventional and launches the reader into a beautifully detailed story, full of intrigue and corruption ... It is highly character driven, whilst also ensuring that the world building is of a great quality. This novel has firmly put Marc Turner as one of the best newcomers in fantasy. We look forward to seeing his The Chronicles of the Exile becoming further developed. Marc Turner is what the fantasy genre has been looking for. STARBURST Magazine
Turner s second Chronicle of the Exile novel features the same wildly imaginative settings, wonderfully empathetic characters, troublesome magic and high-stakes adventures that made his debut such a success. He balances an enormous setting and legendary monsters with flashes of insight and humor that keep the story consistently captivating, all while crafting a battle of wits and determination that builds to a riveting climax. New readers will most likely be able to enjoy this book, but it is definitely worth reading both books in this winning series to appreciate the full scope of Turner s impressive ingenuity.

Turner s Lands of the Exile rival George R.R. Martin s Westeros in their depth and complexity. Fans of fantasy will love DRAGON HUNTERS. In fact, it might be the perfect way to whet the appetites of fans waiting for the upcoming Warcraft movie. Turner has truly set the stage for an epic fantasy series that, in only its second volume, is getting hotter and hotter. Dark Media Online
DRAGON HUNTERS is another intricate and fascinating fantasy in The Chronicles of the Exile. While it is somewhat a sequel to WHEN THE HEAVENS FALL, it can easily be read on its own, though you ll probably then be too addicted to not go back and read book one. If you enjoy addictively readable fantasies with many interweaving points-of-view, this is a series not to miss! On Starships and Dragonwings
The sea dragons are, of course, the main attraction here, and it s well worth the wait for them to appear on the scene. Their presence has mythological as well as political implications, and in a book where political schemes are almost as serpentine as the dragons themselves, that leaves them a large role to play ... DRAGON HUNTERS maintains the same dark sense of humor and epic scope of imagination that made [the first book] so enjoyable. Speculative Herald

Dragon Hunters, the sequel to Marc Turner's When the Heavens Fall features gritty characters, deadly magic, and meddlesome gods
Once a year on Dragon Day the fabled Dragon Gate is raised to let a sea dragon pass from the Southern Wastes into the Sabian Sea. There, it will be hunted by the Storm Lords, a fellowship of powerful water-mages who rule an empire called the Storm Isles. Alas, this year someone forgot to tell the dragon which is the hunter and which the hunted.
Emira Imerle Polivar is coming to the end of her tenure as leader of the Storm Lords. She has no intention of standing down graciously. She instructs an order of priests called the Chameleons to infiltrate a citadel housing the mechanism that controls the Dragon Gate to prevent the gate from being lowered after it has been raised on Dragon Day. Imerle hopes the dozens of dragons thus unleashed on the Sabian Sea will eliminate her rivals while she launches an attack on the Storm Lord capital, Olaire, to secure her grip on power.
But Imerle is not the only one intent on destroying the Storm Lord dynasty. As the Storm Lords assemble in Olaire in answer to a mysterious summons, they become the targets of assassins working for an unknown enemy. When Imerle initiates her coup, that enemy makes use of the chaos created to show its hand.
