Wallie Smith had been dying on another world when the Goddess transferred his mind to the body of the barbarian swordsman Shonsu. Then She gave him the great, magical Sapphire Sword of Chioxin and sent him on a mission. All he had to do was to lead the arrogant band of swordsmen to destroy the sorcerers and their Fire God. Now Wallie discovered that he'd already tried it - and been hopelessly defeated.
A few complications cropped up. Wallie's reputation was in tatters. His best friend and pupil was apparently planning to betray him. And if he won, he would doom all hope of progress and learning in this World of the Goddess - doom the Goddess Herself. It made an interesting kind of riddle. All he had to do was find the solution - and survive, if he could!

A Well Thought-out Ending to the Original Trilogy

However, the characterization of the old priest Hanakora felt very authentic. Ktanji, also! Interesting, seeing how the terrible Shonsu ousted easygoing Wallie Smith when his old flame the minstrel appeared in the plot.
Quibbles:
I wanted to know more about the river. Is there a source? Does it move?
Seemed to me that there wouldn't have been a guild of "scribes" a millennia ago, when writing didn't exist. Did those early scribes keep records with pictures? We never did find out why the scribes and the priests fought so long ago, developing an eternal feud, nor why the swordsmen sided with the priests.
I question the likelihood of repressing competing inventions and keeping so many inventions secret for so long. And I'm not really buying the disinterest the tryst leaders had in anything but swordsmanship and sutras.
Crime and punishment. I didn't buy how the sorcerer's fate was resolved, in a society where a slight dishonor ends in certain death.
On the up side, the epilogue of this book is beautifully written, heartwarming and thought provoking. Brought a tear to my eye, almost. Plus, the song "The Swordsmen in the Morning" is evocative. Loved that whole scene.
I also enjoyed book 4, and it helped to resolve some other minor uncertainties left hanging at the end of this book.
Good series. Fairly light fantasy, somewhat suspenseful, with humor and a thread of romance.
Good ending, with minor discrepancies

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
A bit disappointed in the ending. It was self-consistent, but a little too simplistic, especially when compared to Dave Duncan's later novels. Still worth listening because it rounds up one of his most entertaining story arcs.A fun listen but a little soft on the ending

Read these at the age of 8 and gave them a reread now in my mid-40’s. And now will eagerly read the 4th book
