Description
The long-awaited sequel to Gene Wolfe’s four-volume classic, The Book of the New Sun. We return to the world of Severian, now the Autarch of Urth, as he leaves the planet on one of the huge spaceships of the alien Hierodules to travel across time and space to face his greatest test: to become the legendary New Sun—or die. The strange, rich, original spaceship scenes give way to travels in time, wherein Severian revisits times and places that fill in parts of the background of the four-volume work and will particularly thrill and intrigue readers of the earlier books.
The Urth of the New Sun is an independent work, a singular masterpiece to shelve beside the classics.
