    About this ebook

    The whole of the magnificent Riftwar Cycle by bestselling author Raymond E. Feist, master of magic and adventure, now available in ebook

    In Amos Trask's ship, Prince Nicholas and Squire Harry set sail for a friendly visit to Uncle Martin in Crydee. But while the two are guests in Crydee, disaster strikes.

    Nicholas, third son of Prince Arutha, is a gifted youngster, but sheltered by life at his father’s court in Krondor. To learn more of the world outside the palace walls, Nicholas and his squire, Harry, set sail for pastoral Crydee, where Arutha grew up.

    Shortly after their arrival, Crydee is brutally attacked. The castle is reduced to ruins, the townspeople slaughtered and two young noblewomen – friends of Nicholas – are abducted.

    As Nicholas ventures further from the familiar landmarks of his home in pursuit of the invaders, he learns that there is more at stake than the fate of his friends, more even than fate of the Kingdom of the Isles, for behind the murderous pirates stands a force that threatens the entire world of Midkemia, and only he is destined to confront this terrifying threat.

    Set ten years after the events in Prince of Blood, The King’s Buccaneer returns to Feist’s best-loved world in this stand-alone novel.

      Like 'Prince of the Blood', 'The King's Buccaneer' is a stand alone set in the world of Midkemia though it does follow on from the former book, in that it focusses on the youngest son of Prince Arutha, Nicholas. Sent to his uncle Martin's castle, their ancestral seat of Crydee on the Far Coast along with his best friend for additional seasoning but they get more than they expect when the whole of the Far Coast is involved in a raid and Crydee Castle itself is taken. It became apparent that the raiders had taken prisoners and Martin's son and Nicholas decide to go in pursuit.With Amos Trask and Calis, the half elven son of Tomas of Elvandar, the royal cousins make their way across the Endless Sea to the continent of Novindus where they learn of a new threat to all life on Midkemia As a stand alone book this left enough strands dangling to lead us into a new series and that's what happened
    • 4/5
      I liked Nicholas and I liked Harry and I loved reading the journey they went on and discovering new lands. An enjoyable and fun novel to read with, of course, a happy ending!
    • 4/5
      Another strong in-betweener... typically strong Feist.
    • 3/5
      I think I liked Nicholas the best of Arutha's sons. I loved this book more than all the books of this cycle other than the first three.
    • 3/5
      it's a good read, but I was getting a little bored with this world by this time. The first 7 books (Magicians, Empire & all) were excellent and this wasn't bad. More of the same thing.
    • 4/5
      This is the second book in the Krondor's Sons series. This book was one of the better stories in terms of fun. It wasn't real deep, nor particularly complicated, nor full of wild theories. Just a fun packed action/adventure across the world of Midkemia. This story follow Prince Arutha's youngest son Nicholas. He's 17 and Arutha has come to the conclusion that he's been pampering Nicky to much and needs to be seasoned a little. So Nicholas and his Squire/friend Harry are sent to Crydee to try and toughen them up just a little bit. After a couple of weeks in residence an incredibly vicious raid was launched against Crydee and many of the citizens were kidnapped. Nicholas and company pursue with the intend to of rescuing the captives and then our tale truly begins.
    • 5/5
      Set some years after Raymond E. Feist's most first and most famous work, 'Magician', but in the same universe. Like his first book, The King's Buccaneer is a standalone fantasy novel, though featuring smoe characters from other books.A truly great read, one of his best.
