Title is tentative at the moment. We'll see what happens. Picks up the story following the events at the end of the third book, follows the life of two more Pawns of the Gods, and how their lives intersects with Eddas' life.
Well, "life" is a pretty relative term, one of the characters starts the book dead.

I'll be looking for it.
Too bad a student doesn't have much spare money, otherwise I'd had bought more of your books already... Now I still have to keep up saving and saving and saving, and because the high(er) transport costs to Belgium, I keep on saving untill I can buy several books at once (which lowers the transport cost per book quite a bit).
Hopefully I might have enough in a few months to either buy the next Mage, or the Oerth Cycle. And as long as I'm dreaming I'll dream about being able to just buy them all. ;D

Does it help to know that each and every one of my books is available as an e-book for $4.50?  |

It's a great price, there are NO shipping charges, and you get the book emailed to you very quickly as a great looking HTML file.

I know about them being e-books, nevertheless I prefer reading them on paper. The paper version I can drag along everywhere I go, and it's easier to show to other people.
Also, mostly I read a book when I need a break from staring at the computer screen...
I read Apotheosis from the moment I had my hands on it, and I had it finished withing 24 hours. Same thing happened with book 1 of Mage. Book 2 of Mage was finished withing 48 hours after I received the trillogy, and book 3... Well, I forced myself to spend a week on it, so that I wouldn't be without a Xaabook the net day.
Meanwhile I just kept re-reading those 4 books, and now I've picked up my old copy of LotR for a change, so I am saving for the next batch.
Unfortunately, I also have quite some payments to do, such as the assurance on my laptop, my tuition fee, and just living in a foreign country while studying there.
Hopefully, I can get a little job while studying, so I can buy me either the next episode of Mage, or the Oerth Cycle.
But since I am planning to get them on paper, I think it's wiser not to buy the ebook yet. (For my budget, that is.)
I can advise everyone to buy at least one Xaabook, and I warn them to also take in account you'll be buying more because you'll love them ! ;D

The best thing fans can do to help out is to tell two friends about the books. Not just online - in person. Talk two friends, and get them to read them. And get them to tell two friends just like you did, who get two of their friends to read them, and so on, and so on. In a month, the whole planet will know about my books. Seriously.

First of all would just like to say thank you very much. The Mage series was given to me when I was underway and was having a tough go of things. As a very junior sailor at the time I wasnt having the easiest time. But these books provided a great escape for me at the end of the day to let me unwind. After I finished them the first time through I immediately re-read them all. The first day I was reading them I went from a full charge on my e-book reader and managed to run the batteries out. Having these on e-book makes it so much easier as we dont usually have the room to store paper copies.
I've shared my reader with other book lovers and the minute we hit port they ended up buying the paper copies to send home (if we could find them) and then they bought an e-reader just to download them to read again.
There's probably quite a few people that would greatly appreciate a new book in the series. Theyre easily my favorite magic based series.

Great review. Have you read any of Xaa's other series?
And Xaa, a question for you: Where is the Mage series available for purchase now? I don't see it at Amazon or at White Gryphon.
