Sea of Plague is the finale of what started out as a ground-breaking totally outlanders shattering novel, Talon and Fang.

Here we have Kane of the current timeline learning of his future, and what is laying in wait for him, his friends and the woman he loves, but is too pig headed to admit to it.

The novel picks up where Kane of the future is killed, but not before successfully sending the deranged dwarf Sindri, back into the past.

It's a bit confusing, but due to the fact that Sindri had been out of the time line until he was rescued by Kane, he and he alone would be able to effect the changes that would not create a whole new timeline, an alternate branch of reality.

Of course, no one believes him, until Kane of the current era goes over the disk that Sindri brought back with him. That's when it appears that Kane goes rogue, and ends up imprisoning Lakesh, and allowing Sindri to go free.

The novel has a number of difficult branches to follow, mainly involving Sam's plans for the future. Then there is the doomsday cult that wants to bring about total destruction of reality, bring on blessed entropy, an end to everything, lead by none other than BOTH Erica van Sloan and Baron Beausoleil.

The Author has really shaken things up with the novel. After reading it, the reader is left to wonder - will Lakesh betray the exiles, either intentionally or un-intentionally? Will said man hook up with the Dragon lady, Erica?

Will Kane finally stop being pig headed and admit how deeply he cares for Brigid, and visa versa? Will they finally get married, like they did in Talon and Fang?

Will they get another Manta to replace the one that had been shot down over India, in an attempt, which appeared to have been successful; to thwart Sam the Imperators plans for world domination?

What twists and turns does the author have planned for the future of the series? What can we expect from him? Considering how the series and the characters have changed over the past couple of years, you can rest assured that whatever he has planned, it's nothing that any of us would expect, and that it will be earth shattering in both magnitude, and how it effects the world that he has created.

I would be as bold to say that none of the other current writers working for GE could even come close to what he has achieved. If they could, then all of GE's series would end up being best sellers.

What can we expect?

Only time, and the author, will tell.
