His gnomish sidewheeler is attacked by space pirates, and Teldin is saved by a hideous mind flayer who offers to help the human use his magical cloak - but for whose gain? Teldin learns the basics of spelljamming, and he seeks an ancient arcane, one who might tell him more." The Tome of Treasures Rating: The sequel to the first Spelljammer novel is even better than the original. Nigel Findley's debut is a great fantasy story and defines the look and feel of the Spelljammer universe. His version of Teldin differs hardly from Cook's original. The newly introduced mind flayer Estriss is as powerful a character as Gomja was in the previous book. Co-starring are Captain Aelfred Silverhorn and the elf Vallus Leafbower, a suspicious character from the Elven Imperial Fleet. Findley skillfully weaves a web of intrigue and wraps up the reader inside a cocoon of gripping tension. Into the Void is a thriller, it's vivid scenes of space battle and the colorful descriptions of the spelljamming races define the look and feel of space spelljamming travel and battle. Love and treachery, the black horror of the neogi spiderships, the rapidly culminating chain of events aboard the hammership Probe are blended to the best fantasy space novel ever written. Conclusion: Definitely the best Spelljammer novel of the cloakmaster cycle. Nigel Findley adds the final touch to the Spelljamming campaign setting with this awesome fantasy space novel.
