![]() ![]() What to do? Well, nobody's ever accused Anderson of writing bleak, hard-edged realism, and the oft-repeated mantra "the beginning is the end is the beginning" is as profound as he gets. ![]() Voo offers Adan an alliance against the frostwreths. Somehow, they still have magic worse, they're going to fight Queen Onn and her frostwreths first. Now, astonishingly, Queen Voo and her sandwreths show up to inform Adan Starfall, king of Suderra, that they are resuming their quest. Many years later, two continents, the Commonwealth of the Three Kingdoms and Ishara, fought bloody wars desultory raids across the sea continue. This caused great destruction, depleted the land of magic, and ultimately failed, after which they disappeared, leaving the world to humans. Long ago, the nonhuman wreths created humans (with whom they can interbreed) as servants, then occupied themselves with killing their hereditary foe, a huge, evil dragon. Anderson begins a new high fantasy series, Wake the Dragon, after recent diversions into science fiction ( The Dark Between the Stars, 2014, etc.). ![]()
