But to do that he must defeat his ancient enemy, the Unmaker, whose cruel whispers and deadly plots have threatened Alvin's life at every turn.

For Alvin has had a vision of the city he will build, and he knows that he cannot build it alone. But the Unmaker is not through with Alvin. If that spirit of destruction cannot stop him by magic, or war and devastation, then it will try to crush the young Maker by simpler means - more human means. By lies and innuendo, and by false accusations, Alvin is driven from his home back to Hatrack River, only to find that the Unmaker has been there before him, and that he must now stand trial for his life.

Reviews for "The Nick Anderson-Orlando Magic Partnership: How It Changed the NBA"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with Nick Anderson's performance on the Orlando Magic team. He consistently underperformed and failed to make an impact on the court. His shooting was way off, and he often missed easy shots. I was expecting so much more from a player with his experience and reputation. I hope the team finds someone better to fill his position.
2. Mark - 1 star - Nick Anderson's time with the Orlando Magic was a total disaster. He was extremely inconsistent and lacked the necessary skillset to be a valuable player. He had poor shooting percentages, made careless turnovers, and didn't contribute much to the team's success. I regretted the money I spent on tickets just to watch him play. I believe the Magic would be better off without him.
3. Jessica - 2 stars - As a die-hard Orlando Magic fan, it pains me to say this, but Nick Anderson was a liability on the court. His lack of hustle and poor decision-making hurt the team in crucial moments. He often seemed disinterested and didn't provide the energy and leadership the team needed. I don't think he lived up to the expectations set for him, and I wasn't sad to see him leave the Magic.
