Warrior of the Altaii

 Warrior of the Altaii by Robert Jordan, 352 pages      

This is Robert Jordan's first novel that was  unpublished until now. The Altaii keep herds and raid. However, the watering holes on the Plains they roam are drying up. The warrior, Wulfgar, discovers that the Altaii could be destroyed if they don't change. 

They must take on the walled city of Lanta who has allied itself with the Morassa people (who also keep herds and raid).  

Near the end, you find out that there is a lot more to this world than meets the eye. It is intriguing but a tease that doesn't get explored further.

It is pretty good for a first novel. You can see glimpses of Jordan's Wheel of Time series in this book. The dynamic between women and men and a past that was better among other things.

I enjoy it a lot and wish it had been the beginning of a series. I would recommend it to fans of Robert Jordan and people who like fantasy.
