Law of Nines

The book I read this month was The Law of Nines by Terry Goodkind. As you all know he is my favorite author and wrote the Sword of Truth sieries as well. Alex is a strugling artist living in mid-west U.S. when one day, he meets a mysterious woman by pulling her out of the way of an out of control 18 wheeler. When she sees one of his paintings she almost faints. She said its a place she has being to and asks how he knew of it. He said that it came from his imagination but she doent belive him. Later she tells him that she's a sorrcerer from another dimention. She explained that his great-times-a- thousand antcester was a Rahl and that he used the power of orden to send his enemies into aother world. She sais that in her world a evil man is trying to elimanate magic. She said that like technology, magic makes everyday chores simple. She sais that he wants to open a gate-way and smuggle guns and missles into his world to take the place of magic. One day a man buys all of Alex's painting and writes cruel and vulgar words on them to scare Alex off. Then Alex gets a call and find out that he's inherited a massive amount of land, over 50,000 acres. In his house when Alex was painting at night, a woman and 2 burly people try to kill him. Then the woman apeares and literally stabes the other woman in the back. Now Alex needs to see his crazy mother in a mental institution. But more problems come along. Read this book if you like action, violence and modern fantasy!
