The Final Sacrifice: Book 7 of The Redemption (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Klare has been restored to life, but in the process, Delgart has wandered off in the company of a heretofore unknown traitor; Klaybear and Thal's bodies have been recovered from the space in between space and time, but their minds are gone, and where they have gone, we do not yet know; the reclusive vedi race has broken its long isolation to aid the people of the land because of the appearance of 'white ponkolum', or servants of Gar who have renounced him and joined the chosen in service to The One. Battle is coming, the final battle to decide the fate of the world; the remaining chosen must gather the survivors to the newly restored city of Shigmar, and prepare to face the final assault of the forces of Gar.

Autor

Who am I?a question I often ask myself, without ever coming up with a satisfactory answer: am I just a husband, father, professor, scholar, writer, poet, or some combination that changes from moment to moment, depending on the day, and time of day. . . . Nah, not reallybut it is an intriguing way to beginkind of mysterious and tormented, with a hint of instability that promotes empathy in the reader, and lets all of you know that I am a professor of English, down to my bones, and I cannot help but play around with language. My areas of specialty are 19th-20th century British Literature, the novel, Tolkien & fantasy; my dissertation was on Tolkien's 1939 lecture "On Fairy-stories" in which he created a framework, as I discovered, for the epic fantasy that I used to critique several modern/contemporary works of fantasy, including Tolkien's. I have taught at the university level for 14 years. My wife, of 30+ years, is an elementary school teacher. As a poet, I am much like Wordsworth, while as a novelist, I am more like his pal Coleridge, both of which illustrate the influence of my education and areas of expertise. My poems are predominantly narrative in nature, reflecting, no doubt, the overwhelming impulse to tell a story, using the compact, compressed form of the poem to narrate significant moments in the daily life of the poet. As a novelist, my biggest influence is Tolkien, flowing out of my study of his ideas for what he called a "fairy-story" for adults, what we term epic fantasy.
