Stephen R. Donaldson Knihy

Morn Hyland leert op het ruimteschip van Nick Succorso de wereld van een geheel andere kant kennen: er is corruptie tot in de top van de politiemacht en er zijn clandestiene contacten met de vreemde Amnion in de Verboden Ruimte, waar kanker en mutaties de ruimtevaarders bedreigen. Morn moet op het piratenschip vechten voor haar bestaan, voor de beheersing over haar geest en voor het kind dat ze bij zich draagt. En ze vecht met - letterlijk - alle middelen. Ze wordt diep vernederd, maar komt tot ongelooflijke prestaties wanneer de aandrijving van het schip beschadigd blijkt en er een virus in de computer woedt...

The third instalment in the GAP Stephen Donaldson's fascinating universe peopled with characters of a passion and intensity only he could create. After a terrifying encounter with the Amnion aliens, Nick Succorso made for the safety of Thanatos Minor, the infamous bootleg shipyard where illegals from all over the galaxy come to repair their ships (and indulge their exotic tastes in entertainment). But the Amnion are waiting, and for Nick, Morn Hyland and her force-grown son Davies, the safe haven has turned into a vision of hell. Now Angus Thermopyle heads for Thanatos Minor, programmed to carry out a secret mission that could have nightmarish consequences for them all...

A continuation of the adventures of Thomas Covenant that began in The Wounded Land and The One Tree.

Již dvakrát byl Thomas Covenant povolán do podivného světa, kde působí magie. Dvakrát se spojil s Pány z Libokamu v boji proti Pánu Zlorovi, pradávnému nepříteli Končiny. Nyní se vrací znova – do země pustošené Zlorovou armádou. Pánové jsou obklíčeni a bezmocní a Zlorovu vítězství už zdánlivě nic nestojí v cestě. Jediný, kdo může běh událostí zvrátit, je Thomas Covenant. Aniž by sám věřil ve vítězství, rozhodne se nepříteli postavit. Doprovází ho obr, strážce krve a šílená žena, jíž kdysi ublížil. Pán Zlor přebývající ve svém Útulku je přitom s každou další porážkou sil bojujících za Končinu silnější a silnější.

Twice before he had been forced to join with the Lords of Revelstone in their war against Lord Foul, the ancient enemy of the Land. Now he was back. This time the Lords of Revelstone were desperate. Without hope, Covenant set out to confront the might of the enemy, as Lord Foul grew more powerful with every defeat for the Land....

He called himself Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever, because he dared not believe in the strange world on which he suddenly found himself - the Land. But only the mystic powers of the white gold he carried could protect the Lords of the Land from the ancient evil of the Despiser, Lord Foul.
