In The Wanderer's Last Journey, the fourth volume of the youthful grown-up Orfeo Saga, Murray Lee Eiland, Jr., delivers an energizing, fast-paced historical fantasy that will probably please committed fans of the series. 

The Wanderer's Last Journey opens with a burst of activity. Traders from an outside land have arrived Linnaeus' kingdom, where Orfeo and Clarice are at present residing. Soon a scuffle ensues, amid which Orfeo is abducted. Keeping in mind the end goal to get Orfeo back, Clarice has no decision however to send for Daryush, the Kassite. She and Semria, Daryush's better half, join Daryush on the quest when he arrives at court. Soon, Zurga joins the search as well. He first looks for clues first at home and after that travels to Egypt. There, he learns that foreigners from across the sea have abducted Orfeo; he soon enlists a team to go and rescue Orfeo. 

In the interim, on the ship, Orfeo is dealt with respectfully, yet he still has no thought why he has been taken. Following thirty-four days at sea, he arrives to what appears to be the New World, and is dealt with as a divine being; yet that does not stop him from arranging his escape. In any case, that too rapidly turns out to be a ruse: Orfeo has been taken by the King of Ixtlan. 

The ships that sought out to discover Orfeo-Zurga's and Daryush's-each persevere through harsh seas, little data, and mutinous crews to locate the quite adored and sorely missed Orfeo. They meet in the kingdom of Nastase, and instantly set out to discover Orfeo. However achieving the sanctuary where Orfeo is being kept, they swing to find that someone has set their ship ablaze. 

With Orfeo rejoined with his dearest Clarice, as well as her companions, the gathering begins to arrange their escape. Rotating chapters uncover that the Kings of Nastase and Ixtlan are cooperating to recover Orfeo. However, their inner strife brews over into a common war, and thus allows Orfeo, Clarice, and their companions to escape the confines of the castle and board close-by ships. Tragically Zurga, battling valiantly and bravely, is murdered in the process. 

After a somewhat hostile excursion, the gathering returns home safely, and is welcomed by King Linneaus and Orfeo's elderly mother, Hermia. They cover Zurga in incredible solemnity and respect. 

With Orfeo and Clarice safely home, Daryush and Semira venture out back to their country where they experience adventures of their own. In the wake of deposing a distraught King, the combine assumes their legitimate seats of force. 

The scene then shifts back to Orfeo and Clarice at Pylos. As in all experience stories, peace and serenity have been short-lived, and a minor war with neighboring Sparta soon erupts. In any case, the heroes guard Pylos with strength and dauntlessness, and the Spartans are compelled to withdraw. In any case, while all seems well, an ominous cliffhanger leaves the peruser anxiously anticipating the following volume in the series. 

While The Wanderer's Last Journey is at times confusing in its transitions amongst characters and various adventures, it provides a pleasant read for gave fans of the series and readers of youthful grown-up historical fantasy.
