Geoff Taylor was born in Lancaster, England in 1946. He studied Graphic Design at Chesterfield College of Art. After five years or so of working in advertising agencies in Nottingham, Geoff turned to illustrating book covers for most of the top fantasy writers of our time, both adult and children's fiction. Geoff was one of the illustrators for the legendary Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of "The War of the Worlds" album. Since 1994 he has added to some of the rich imagery of "Games Workshop" and the Black Library. Perhaps his true passions are best reflected in his wildlife paintings, especially wolves.

Aus dem Klappentext

Millions huddle in Coldharbour, waiting for the huge and terrifying Roar.

Milo, the silver child, is the first line of the Earth's defence. Under his
wings, Helen probes the Roar's mind, while the twins, Emily and Freda,
struggle to free the mysterious Protector. Walter's task is the hardest of
all - keeping the others alive for long enough to find a weapon to defeat
the Roar. Only Thomas can release that weapon - if he can finally discover
the true purpose of his remarkable gift.

But a second enemy is also ranged against them. As the Roar approaches from
space, her firstborn, Carnac, is crawling from the depths of the Earth.
Only a small number of children, the drill-handed Unearthers, led by Tanni,
stand in his way.

The Silver Sequence is brought to a thrilling conclusion in this third and
final book, which is at once exhilarating and atmospheric - fantasy writing
at its most satisfying.
