Synopsis

Jimmy the Hand, boy thief of Krondor, lived in the shadows of the city. Though gifted beyond his peers, Jimmy is merely a pickpocket with potential—until he aids Prince Arutha in the rescue of Princess Anita from Duke Guy du Bas-Tyra, and runs afoul of ""Black Guy's"" secret police. Facing a choice between disappearing on his own or in a weighted barrel at the bottom of Krondor's harbor, Jimmy chooses the former. Forced to flee the only home he's ever known, Jimmy finds himself among the unsuspecting rural villagers of Land's End, where he hopes to prosper with his talents for con and thievery. But Land's End is home to many who tread the crooked path—and to a dark, dangerous presence even the local smugglers don't recognize. And suddenly Jimmy's youthful bravado and courage are leading him into the maw of chaos . . . and, quite possibly, to his doom.

Goodreads review by Bradley on May 04, 2019

Solid enough. I mean, this is the young Jimmy right after he helps out Arutha back in the first books. By all rights, it ought to be a simple cashing in on one of the best characters in Feistland, and for the most part, it is. The novel reads episodic and pits Jimmy against his worst enemy -- himself......more

Goodreads review by Matthew on May 06, 2022

I have slowed down a bit on my progress through the works of Raymond Feist; it did take me almost a year to read this one (which is a bit crazy for a book that isn’t even 400 pages). I would like to think that this does not relate to any reduction in the quality of the story, but the last few books......more

Goodreads review by Baal Of on May 11, 2023

Some years back I read the first couple books in Stirling's Emberverse series, and did not like the second book at all, so I expected that this collaboration would perhaps not be my favorite of this arc. However, Stirling seems to have moderated some of Feist's worse writing tics, which made this vo......more

Jimmy the Hand is the third and final book in the Legends of the Riftwar subseries that takes place during Feist’s original Magician novel. This one is co-written with S. M. Stirling. The story is set shortly after Jimmy and Arutha’s first encounter during Magician, starting right around the part wh......more

Goodreads review by Tincangoat on December 05, 2011

Jimmy the Hand is the third Rift war collaboration book (outside the Janny Wurts Empire series) that Feist wrote with different authors. This time the author is S. M. Sterling. Sterling is the author of Dies the Fire, the only other book I’ve read penned by him. Overall, Jimmy the Hand is an OK read.......more
