Stone and Sea: Book Two of the Stone Trilogy - Softcover

Stone and Sea (The Stone Trilogy No. 2)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. 400 pages. Cover worn, Text tanned. Light foxing IN A WORLD BEYOND THE WORLD, DRAGONS AND WONDERS: the second book in a fantas y trilogy of huge charm and dynamism, and great potential. The Turned World has become our own world, almost. The story begins in the 19th century with the erup tion of Krakatoa -- and the reader is hurled, brilliantly, BETWEEN worlds. Throu gh a series of fabulous landscapes our heroes arrive at the Wall. This is the wo rld of Stone, called Amara -- and a world as coherent as McCaffrey's Pern yet as relevant to the reader's own view of the universe as John Crowley's Aegypt seri es. Edwards is a very significant writer in this respect. The Wall shelters enti rely new and strange creatures, such as the Tam, insectile beings that evolve ra pidly to sentience whenever there is a breach in the Wall, which they repair and then revert. There are stone-age human settlements in extraordinary buildings, plant life between the cracks in the stones of the wall -- and the dragon descen dants of characters from the first series. The story is action-packed and the pl ot extremely strong. Added to this, the central characters develop in totally co nvincing if startling directions. Artikel-Nr. 6907o
