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. He now lives in Cumbria with his wife. Find out more from his website www.geofftaylor.btinternet.co.uk.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

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 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 is crawling from the depths of the Earth. Only a small number of children stand in his way . . .

The Silver Sequence is brought to a thrilling conclusion in this third and
final book.

'McNish has an extraordinary, inventive mind, matched by his skill in translating ideas, characters and raw emotions onto the page. Very disturbing, gripping, and ultimately uplifting, Silver World offers a wholly satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. Not for the faint-hearted, McNish takes the reader into uncharted territory, manipulating language in the most extraordinary way.'
