Product Description
From Everquest's past comes the key to Norrath's future! The glory of the great elven city of Takish Hiz is no more, victim to the evil god Innoruuk's foul plot. A gruesome piece of Norrath's history, the elves' flight from the destructive wrath of the gods ended in disaster - and gave the Ocean of Tears its name. But one ageless being who witnessed the horror and survived that terrible journey swore an oath to exact revenge for this savage annihilation of an innocent people. He will assume many guises and wear many faces - orc shaman, human oracle, even emperor of the great Combine Empire itself - as he pursues his quest. Across the Ocean of Tears and beyond - for an eternity, if necessary - until he takes his vengeance upon Innoruuk.

 Ocean of Tears - good read June 27, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I was surprised by how much I liked the Ocean of Tears. It is set back in the time when Weille was the "free port" and during the formative days of the Combine Empire. Much lore is covered concerning the dark elves, Grieg and his invention of the spires, the Orcs and the high elves and many other facets of EQ1. This is wrapped around a story that is much more engaging than Rogue's Hour. While some of the die hards will disdain any attempt to translate their world of EQ1 into fiction, this is the best of the two published novels. It doesnt create new and unheard of lands and cities as was the case in Rogue's Hour. The Ocean of Tears uses the lands, cities and even spells of the original EQ and the Kunark expansion. I found that it brought back many fond memories of the landmark game.
Another EQ novel falls short. February 23, 2006

This book came out in October 2005. It's now the end of February 2006, and I'm going to be the first person to write a review? That's pretty sad, but I guess so many readers were burned by the previous lackluster attempt at an EQ novel that no one bothered with this one.
I was an avid Everquest player for 5 years, and the Ocean of Tears was one of my favorite areas...plus I've been reading fantasy since I was a small child. As I browsed through the bookstore the other day, I noticed this on the shelf and figured I'd pick it up and see. I'll keep this short and sweet...don't waste your time. If you want a real EQ experience, play the game. If you want real fantasy, dust off the Tolkien or Goodkind or Eddings.
ocean of tears February 24, 2006
i thought this book wasn't bad in all honesty a bit better then rogues hour but it was pretty cool to learn about the fall of the great combine empire and the feud between sanctus seru and katta kastelum, and the eventual creation of the city of freeport. the other book rogues hour was decent as well but i liked ocean of tears a bit more.
 Very Readable, January 16, 2007
The story is nearly epic in it's scope and yet its not a really long book. I enjoyed reading from the first page to the last and it was also fun as an EverQuest player to see the encounters taking place in familiar territory. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good magic and intrigue adventure story. Even if you don't have a clue about EverQuest you will still find it enjoyable. If you ever did play EverQuest and especially if you tried the enchanter class this is a must read. It is well written, has a good pace and leaves you wanting more when you are done.
