Rice's works (e.g., Memnoch the Devil, Audio Reviews, LJ 10/1/95) have ascended to the best sellers lists, and this one is no different. As usual, her central character, a human being in the ancient world, has been made immortal by ancient magic. Yet immortality has its limits. In this case, Aziel, a Jewish boy in Babylonian exile, is sacrificed in a ceremony that houses his living spirit in gold-plated bones. He can be summoned to do his master's bidding, however. Soon, Aziel is called forth by a cult leader as the second millennium approaches. Aziel hates his evoker's aims and realizes that he has free will and powers that he has never tested. Can he save the world from destruction and spiritual bondage?...For most popular collections. James Dudley, Copiague, N.Y.
