À propos de cet audio
Set after the events of The Magic Engineer (and prior to The Magic of Recluce), The Order War illuminates great figures and major events in the historic war between order and chaos that is the central focus of the saga of Recluce.
The deadly White Wizards of Fairhaven, wielding the forces of chaos, have completed their great highway through the Westhorns and now threatened the ancient matriarchy of Sarronnyn, the last bastion of order in Candar. The ruler of Sarronnyn appeals to the Black order wizards of Recluce for help.
Justen - a young Black Engineer in the city of Nylan - joins the relief force. Despite their success in destroying more than half the White armies, Sarronnyn falls to the White Wizards, and Justen is chased into the most inhospitable desert in Candar. These trials are but the beginning, for the White Wizards have all Candar in their grasp. Justen must fight both Recluce and Fairhaven, as well as the highest powers of order and the forbidden technology to harness chaos itself in his efforts to halt the conquest of the chaos wizards.

Slow start, second best in series
Like all of L.E. Modesitt’s books, this one is way too long. He spends too much time writing about nothing interesting or important in what I assume is intended to be world building. Unlike his best work in the Saga of Recluse, the Towers of the Sunset, which is interesting from the start, the Order War doesn’t get interesting until about a third of the way in. The world of Recluse and Order vs Chaos is definitely unique and can be engaging at times, is often so over described that it’s numbing to read and easily forgotten. Both when I read this 15 years ago, and listened to it again now, I don’t remember the first third of the book, only really feeling engaged once the protagonist finds himself alone and in peril about a third of the way in (don’t want to spoil to much). However, due to the fantastic romance and philosophy around balance, I still love the last 2 thirds of this book and recommend it to any fan of fantasy out there, even though all of L.E. Modesitt’s books in this series could do with paring down of at least 100 pages each. I would read Towers of the Sunset first, then The Order War, and maybe Fall of Angels if you’re still interested.
