 SF REVIEWS.NET: Wizard's First Rule / Terry Goodkind
Rahl is seeking the three boxes of Orden, which contain "a magic spawned from the earth, from life itself." He also wants the Book of Counted Shadows, because only one of the boxes will enable him actually to control the magic and use it to his ends and the Book tells which is which.
We learn that Richard's father was the one in possession of the Book of Counted Shadows, and that as a child Richard was made to commit the book to memory before his father burned it so its secrets wouldn't fall into the wrong hands.
Zedd now presents Richard with the Sword of Truth and informs him he is the Seeker, a figure who, in times of insurmountable strife, emerges as a man of heroic stature who must use the magic of the sword and his own experience and independent judgment to find a solution and save the day.

 Journey Book - WHOLE BOOK SPOILER the imporatnce of page 594
Their biggest problem now is that Richard knows what their plan is, plus he has a copy of Ordenic Theory which his probably the source of the Knowledge Darken had when he first put the boxes in play.
01-31-2005 05:04 PM however, now Richard knows what their plan is, he knows how they have accomplished what they did, and he has not only the book Chainfire, but also a book about the boxes of Orden themselves, so I would not discount his ability to outwit the SotD in their plan.
The Sister have seen Richard since then and he never behaved like he was a slave of Kahlan, hence he cannot be persuaded through the power of a confessor to reveal anything.

 Wizard's Rules
The Seeker is the only hope against Darken Rahl, ruler of D'Hara, from gathering the three Boxes of Orden that opens a gateway to the underworld and grants the opener the magic of power over all living, when the right box is opened.
She tells Richard that he is the son of Darken Rahl and grandson of Zed, that if he marries Kahlan, she will bear a male confessor child with the gift of wizards, and the veil is torn because Richard allowed Darken Rahl to open one of the Boxes of Ordin.
Then Since Darken Rahl suddenly appears from the land of the dead because he is Richard's true father and Richard is a Mud Person, Darken Rahl is able to return to the world of living as a spirit.

 USATODAY.com - Cable gears up for digital-ready TV sets
Van Orden played down worries that the cards are less secure than the boxes and will make cable systems more vulnerable to signal theft — a problem for satellite services.
CableCard's "convenience is a powerful tool to sell digital cable" packages that add about $10 to the monthly bill, says In-Stat/MDR analyst Gerry Kaufhold.
The products have slots for a CableCard — obtained from the cable company and similar to a laptop PC card — which will ensure subscribers get the services they ordered.

In its best moments, the book is quite entertaining, but often Mr Goodkind also wants to teach his teenage readers something about life, and the result is long monologues that are very preachy and, as a matter of fact, quite boring.
Maybe it is symptomatic that the best parts of the book are filled with fear, cruelty and sadism.
