About this ebook
New York Times bestselling author Raymond E. Feist returns us now to a place of unparalleled wonders--a sprawling kingdom coveted by enemies on all sides; a bustling center of commerce and magic, vibrantly alive and eternally in conflict. This is Midkemia, where great heroes are bred, and its glorious center...
Krondor
Prince Arutha--newly returned from battle--is concerned about a rash of unexplained assassinations that plagues his capital city. And so he commissions his most trusted agent, Squire James--formerly the thief known as "Jimmy the Hand"--to discover the source of the deadly epidemic. The answers seem to lie far beneath the streets in the dank depths of Krondor, where a terrible war rages in secret between two rival criminal gangs: those who call themselves "Mockers" and others in the thrall of a mysterious being known as "The Crawler." But the deeper the Squire delves, the closer he gets to the true nature of the horror that has left untold dead in its wake. And unless James can prevent one last, unthinkable slaying, the nightmare forces of corruption and deceit will destroy his liege and reduce his beloved Krondor to ruins.

Reviews for Krondor the Assassins
24 ratings4 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book follows on pretty much directly from the events in 'Krondor: The Betrayal' but the castoff characters has been widened out a bit as we get to meet William, Pug's only natural child,. in his first outings as a junior commander in Arutha's military.. This time the Nighthawks, or something very similar to them, are back mixed in with a load of shapeshifting mages - what's not to like!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Sword-and-sorcery-adventures in a Medieval setting: male characters nice, female characters not important. The fighting makes nice reading, but the over-all story I find disappointing. Some bad sorcerers have some bad plans: what those are, I don't know at the beginning and I don't know at the end of the book...
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book should be popular with Feist fans for one particular reason, because it features one of the best characters of the early books, Jimmy the Hand. Jimmy must track down a rash of assassinations and murders in Krondor, using his old connections to find out who's behind them and stop them before they cause a disaster. This book is a little more personal than most Feist books, as there are no large armies or hordes of invaders, and the key to solving everything isn't magic, its Jimmy's cleverness.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the 2nd book in the Riftwar Legacy. Krondor seems to be having an unusually large number of strange deaths, which Jimmy the Hand is able to trace to the Night Hawks, but there seemed to be someone controlling several different groups that by all rights shouldn't be coordinating together. Whispers of The Crawler get back to Arutha through Jimmy. The trail takes them deeper and deeper into the labyrinth of plots. Our daring heroes try to keep the kingdom safe.
