The First Feist Book I Ever Read: Krondor: The Betrayal

The first dose of Raymond Feist's world of Midkemia I ever got was not from a book. It was from an old computer game called Betrayal at Krondor. Back in the mid-1990s, we had a copy of the CD version of the game and I found it really interesting, especially the writing. The intro to the game mentions Feist, but I was too young to make the connection.

Then, one day, as I was wandering around in probably a Borders bookstore, I saw a book: Krondor: The Betrayal. I was taken aback. Was the game based on a book? Later on I would discover, no, it was the other way around, but I picked up that book and it made me into a Feist fan.
