THE DARKNESS THAT COMES BEFORE - R SCOTT BAKKER...

'Compelling... Keeps the pages turning. The final cinematic scene  of a vast landscape filled
with enormous armies  nicely sets the stage for book three of this daringly unconventional
series in the Tolkien mold.' - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY    'A journey unlike any other you have
experienced. Part Dante's "Inferno" and part Conrad's "Heart Of Darkness"  this is fantasy
literature like you've never read before.' - Blogcritics   A score of centuries has passed
since the First Apocalypse and the thoughts of men have turned  inevitably  to more worldly
concerns...  A veteran sorcerer and spy seeks news of an ancient enemy. A military genius plots
to conquer the known world for his Emperor but dreams of the throne for himself. The spiritual
leader of the Thousand Temples seeks a Holy War to cleanse the land of the infidel. An exiled
barbarian chieftain seeks vengeance against the man who disgraced him. And into this world
steps a man like no other  seeking to bind all - man and woman  emperor and slave - to his own
mysterious ends.   But the fate of men - even great men - means little when the world itself
may soon be torn asunder. Behind the politics  beneath the religious fervour  a dark and
ancient evil is reawakening. After two thousand years  the No-God is returning. The Second
Apocalypse is nigh. And one cannot raise walls against what has been forgotten...   A
startlingly original and assured epic fantasy debut. A tale of conspiracy  holy war 
empire-building and intrigue set in the most vividly imagined fantasy world since Tolkien's
Middle Earth.   Books by R Scott Baker:   Prince of Nothing Trilogy   The Darkness That Comes
