His son is missing, his allies are indistinguishable from his foes, and reinforcements are several weeks away ... With the Kez still bearing down upon them and without clear leadership, the Adran army has turned against itself. Inspector Adamat is drawn into the very heart of this new mutiny with promises of finding his kidnapped son .. And Taniel Two-shot, hunted by men he once thought his friends, must safeguard the only chance Adro has of getting through this war without being destroyed"--Dust jacket flap.

DNF. This trilogy continues to disappoint me. I am in the minority, I guess, of people who think In The Shadow of Lightning is vastly superior.
While it was still and enjoyable book it felt very much like suddenly the author realised near the end that they were writing a trilogy and rushed to wrap up as many loose ends as possible. I feel many of the plotlines of this book could have taken another book to expand and explore more thoroughly and be written with more suspense.
Thirty years ago, this was how fast, I read novels, but during those times, I was still unemployed, therefore I had to slow down, books then was so expensive, I had to wait for booksales to get my favorite ones, and if a book is popular.......well your trilogy ends up as a duology......
Fast forward, current time, books are still expensive, but there is another way to get books.........DOWNLOADS, so before I sum up this one, please let us give a big hearty applause and THANK YOU to those who tirelessly upload, so US less fortunate ones can read and discover all the other universes!!!
Mr. McClellan meet the late Mr. Eddings, Kressimir, Adom, Brude meet Belgarath, Polgara, Belgarion and etc. Etc, etc.....as I finish the third one in this trilogy, that came across my mind, wherein beings of unimaginable will and strength surpass their mortal shell and become something else, in Mr. Eddings world, magic or the Will and the Word, while in the Powder mage universe, well gunpowder derive magic and elemental magic, but both introduces their Gods and Goddesses to mere humans, but this is where they go their seperate ways, while The Mallorean and Belgariad series (by Mr. Eddings), showcases gods versus demigods and more powerful adversary, the Powder mage universe deals with humans versus gods....and what a wonderful read...believe you me, that is why it took me just two weeks to finish it, because you can not put it down, there is no pause, the story strings you along faster and faster, then slows down.....and just when you thought everything is mellowing down, just like Tamas using his ability to push bullets, Mr. McClellan, pushes you to keep on guessing and guessing!!!!
Truly a wonderful wonderful story, again fellow book lovers, feel free to dive into the powder mage universe, but once you read.......you might not want to STOP!!!!!!
P.S. I love it and hate it.........Mr. McClellan.........Sabon, Vetas(YES), and others......
