Summary: They Don't Offer Enough Stars!!
Review: MY EIGHT YEAR SEARCH IS FINALLY OVER!! The universal question of "where is Mark C. Perry and why hasn't he finished, or come out with another book?" is over! Now, if we could just get that third book, the sky would be a little bluer, sunshine a little brighter! I first read "Desecration" in '92, six years after it's release and read "The Dead" about a week later. Now everytime I go to the bookstore, I check under "P" in the Sci-Fi section just in case...like so many others. I've been doing this for eight years, ever-hopeful for a third book. Since then I have read Brooks, Eddings, Goodkind searching for the same scale of fantasy-prose and NONE compare to The Morigu books. These books are timeless and have the grand sweep of epic battles involving characters you truly love (and love to hate). Good and evil have never clashed as they do in these books, as gods and demi-gods stride the earth in contest with man, elf and dwarf against forces of exceptional evil...

Summary: Morigunamachamain - truly unique, truly brilliant work!
Review: Ok. I want to start by saying that I read Morigu : The Desecration the very first week it was released in the US...I took it home ( I think I was 16 ) and read it till my eyes hurt. Since then I have read hundreds of novels within the fantasy genre and for some reason Morigu kept itching at the back of my head. I go to Google and type in Morigu and viola! Here is a transcript from Mr. Perry commenting on his work. Finish the series and allow the fans to relive the fantastical tale of the Morigu...I miss characters like Eventine and Lonnlarkan! Return to writing that magical prose you've left dormant.

Summary: Thank God!!
Review: Thank god!! I have been searching SF sections of bookstores for many, many years in an effort to find the next book in the series. When I read the comments that Mark was dead, a little piece of me died that day too. I was in college when I first stumbled upon the first Morigu book, and unfortunately I have often judged a book by its cover. I picked up and put back the same book probably on twenty different occassions, until finally deciding to give it a shot. Best decision I've ever made. I've since read them, and passed them on to so many people(because you can't find them anymore), that the covers are no longer attached! I also have a small army searching bookstores on a regular basis. If you are a SF/Fantasy reader, there is no book I would reccomend higher. Do yourself a favor and take the same chance I did, you won't be dissappointed! The scope and unpredictability of this series is monumental. Great character development, incredible battle scenes, completely unpredictable. I would to throw my vote in with the legions, in pleading Mark Perry to continue the work in this series. I will continue my search for years to come. Viva la Morigu!!

Summary: One of the best
Review: This book is a sweep you off your feet and never put it down kind of book. Perry delivers a body blow at the beginning and keeps you enamored throughout! This is definitely the best book I have ever read. Does anyone out there have a copy of "The Dead" that I could buy or at least borrow or something? I am dying to read it!

Summary: One all time favourites.
Review: This book is one of my all time favourites and I have read it ten times or more. It is rare to find a book where the action is this incredible and the characters are virtually unstopable demigods. My cousin has borrowed it about 8 times because it is so hard to fin and he too thinks it stands out from the crowd.

Summary: best book ever
Review: This is by far the best book of any genre ever written. I no longer have my copies but plenty of other people got hooked on my copies. Just wish they would either put out a new one or make a movie. Since Mr. Perry is now in Hollywood. The story is just so great because of the original characters in it. The villians are the best to ever be created. the action is so well detailed you can see it take place on the page. Mr. Perry(i can't remeber you new last name) you are a wonderful writer and I wished you had a million books out so I could read them.

Summary: Never will finish...
Review: Well, this series has always been an inspiration. Offering a different view upon fantasy worlds, such as Death not being cold and cruel, but neutral, only doing his duty....until dark forces sway the tide with terrible efficiency. We will never know how the series ends however, as I have heard the Mark Perry has passed away. Truely an immortal series as is.

Summary: This series of books is ground breaking sci-fantasy
Review: When "The Desecration" came out, I immediately realized that it was the best book that I have read. Mark C. Perry is a great author who ranks up there with Robert Jordan, David Eddings and Raymond E. Feist. I was lucky and fortunate to get my hands on "The Dead", the second book in the series and it carried on the incredible characters , making us either love their heroics or despise their cowardliness. Who could fail to sympathize with the Morigu, or feel Mearead's pain at the death of Colin. The betrayal of Arianrood made me angry and bitter. The only thing that makes me more bitter is the lack of a conclusion or continuation to this great series. Mark C. Perry, I am begging you to continue this series or someone shed some light on your status. Are you dead, (I hope not) or are you unaware of what a great writer you are. Please, Please let us know.

Summary: "Give me Arianrood and I will let the rest of you live."
Review: When I first discovered the first Morigu book, a circle of friends that did alot of roleplaying asked me to read it. I wasn't allowed to talk about it until I was finished and when we met again I was to name my favorite character. Well, I think I named five, lol. I have read close to 600 fantasy novels since then and have yet to be sucked in like I was by page 13 of this book. So well orchestrated are the players, both good and evil, that it feels like a symphony masterpiece. Reading the second book was much the same, not knowing what would happen to your current favorite character, (They don't seem to last long!) Since then I have bargained with many a friend and co-worker to trade with me their favorite book while I let them read the Morigu. All but once have I won the gamble and over half of those people have their own copies. You have many tragic characters, all of which are very believable. All of which evil tries to break their spirit time and again. I had been impressed by the intensity of the story at least a dozen times, weaving all the characters into a wonderful tale. But, after reading what happened to all the women in the second novel, I was convinced there wasn't a finer fantasy novel in existence. The outline and planning of evil is unlike none I have ever read. Thank you Mr. Perry for your gift to literature. I am glad you are alive and well. (My role-playing group was worried.) Though it pains me, I understand if you never finish the third novel. I know it would be Mearead's book, but what an incredible task you have on that one. The quote above is one of my favorites, and when you read it in its context, I'm am certain it will be one of yours as well.
