Having staked his claim as a master of epic fantasy with The Ring of Five Dragons , Eric Van Lustbader now returns to his world of Kundala to unearth new riches of wonder and excitement in this second volume of The Pearl Saga. With the help of her friends, Riane, the prophesied redeemer known as the Dar Sala-at, saved Kundala from annihilation, preserving natives and V'ornn invaders alike. Together, the companions avenged terrible crimes and secured the Ring of Five Dragons, but their struggles have only just begun. The Ring averted doomsday, yet it did not open the magical Storehouse Door as expected. That sorcerous treasury remains sealed because of the spell cast by Giyan and her sister to migrate Annon Ashera's male V'ornn psyche into Riane's dying Kundalan female body. By combining them into a single being, it saved them both and fulfilled the prophecy that the Dar Sala-at would be "born at both ends of the cosmos." But the spell also breached the Abyss, releasing daemons imprisoned there aeons ago by the Goddess Miina who could wreak havoc on Kundala. Now the fiends must be vanquished, not only so the quest for the Pearl can continue, but to save Giyan, who has been possessed by the archdaemon Horolaggia. Their only hope is the fabled Veil of A Thousand Tears.

Here again he proves himself a master storyteller who creates believable characters while juggling numerous plot lines without ever losing the reader's attention.

De Chinezen hebben er veel voor over om een nieuwe formule, in handen van een hebzuchtige Mossad-agent, te bemachtigen die het opwekken van kernenergie goedkoper maakt. Een machtige Zuid-Amerikaan die over lijken gaat, bemiddelt bij deze miljoenenaankoop, maar Jason Bourne is hen op het spoor. Er volgt een wereldwijde achtervolging met een bloederige finale in Libanon. In dit deel uit de serie rondom Jason Bourne (deels succesvol verfilmd) is de rol van Bourne net als in het vorige deel klein. Maar de Ludlumingrediënten zijn weer herkenbaar aanwezig: een wereldwijd complot, veel reizen, geweld en doden. De hoofdfiguren komen nooit echt tot leven, hun karakters zijn evenals de ontwikkelingen voorspelbaar. Ook dit verhaal lijkt geschreven als een filmscript: voorspelbaar, korte scènes, bondige acties, veel extreem geweld, stoere helden, weinig slimme boeven. Omdat het nogal van de hak op de tak springt, is het niet altijd even eenvoudig te volgen. Maar de liefhebbers van Bourne zullen daar niet om malen: zij krijgen de stoere hoofdpersoon en de spanning die ze verwachten.
