Book excerpt: "Every night I dream of a world that is a paradise for all, but then I wake up and find myself still trapped within this reality. Why must my dreams stop existing when I am awake?" -- Dr. Jeremiah AbelWar has come. There is no hiding from it. There is no ignoring it. Humanity now walks this earth with Magi, Animagi, and Daemons, and humanity is now painfully aware that these other beings have abilities they can only dream of. Fear and mistrust chokes the air and clouds the minds of normally rational people.But there is something else, something that none could expect. Hope. Hope that the forces of Hand of Creation, that Dr. Abel, could make the world the better place that they promise. There is no telling how many must die, how much of the old world must burn, for this new world to rise.In The Magus War, Diary of a Magus Book Two, Dorian finds himself having to choose between sides that will preserve the world, or tear it down and make something new on its ruins. But when missiles face magic, soldiers face monsters, and the status quo faces idealism, will there even be the skeleton of a world left once the war is over? Can anyone survive such a war? Or the only possible outcome may be a barren world populated by ghosts and forgotten memories.

It is characterised by extreme violence, social disruption, human suffering, and economic destruction.In 2003, Nobel Laureate Richard E. Smalley identified war as the sixth (of ten) biggest problem facing the society of mankind for the next fifty years.In the 1832 treatise On War, Prussian military general and theoretician Carl von Clausewitz defined war as follows: "War is thus an act of force to compel our enemy to do our will."Nations customarily measure the 'costs of war' in dollars, lost production, or the number of soldiers killed or wounded. Rarely do military establishments attempt to measure the costs of war in terms of individual human suffering. Psychiatric breakdown remains one of the most costly items of war when expressed in human terms.This book contains thoughts of many remarkable personalities, and will give you a closer view of what war means.
