The Guin Saga, Book 4: Prisoner of the Lagon is on stands now. This is the fourth book in the gripping “Marches Episode,” which established the series as one to be reckoned with more than three decades ago, and set the standard that continues to this day in Japan as the series reaches its 120th chapter. As the episode opens, the mighty Guin and his intrepid band of reluctant heroes—twin heirs Remus and Rinda, Istavan the mercenary, and the combined forces of the disparate tribes of the simian Sem—have managed to thwart and barely keep out of reach of the advancing Mongauli army, which outnumbers them by the thousands, as they flee across the treacherous wastes of Nospherus. But time and numbers are against our heroes, so Guin makes a fateful decision to seek help. But is his a fool’s quest? Can the divergent tribes of the Sem keep their uneasy alliance together sans the leadership of the leopard-masked warrior to guide them before Lady Amnelis of the Mongauli Army takes advantage? And where has Istavan disappeared to? The saga goes from merely exciting to downright delirious in this the chapter before the cataclysmic finale in July. Don’t miss it!
