This Day All Gods Must Die: The Gap into Ruin

The Gap Cycle, Book 5

De: Stephen R. Donaldson

Narrado por: Scott Brick

Hailed as his greatest work ever, Stephen Donaldson's best-selling Gap series is rapidly attaining the status of a classic. Now, one of the most exhilarating space epics ever told comes to a shattering climax in a thrilling tale of high adventure, powerful emotion, and labryrinthine intrigue.

As the conflict between humankind and the Amnion aliens heads for crisis, Morn Hyland, cyborg Angus Thermopyle, and the survivors on board the crippled starship Trumpet must return from deep space to Earth. Only they can prevent the titanic struggle between UMCP director Warden Dios and Holt Fasner, the corrupt head of the UMC, from precipitating all-out war with the Amnion - and leaving humanity to pay a terrible price.

As Dios in Earth's orbit and Morn in deep space both make far-reaching decisions, the Amnion act with swift fury, and suddenly Earth stands threatened with fiery destruction.

Finish Strong, a masterpiece of dark scifi

Firstly, come on guys... this title... "This Day all Gods Die" how bad ass is that? You know you gotta buckle up and put on your adult diapers when you read that. Look by now, many of you will have read more than a few series, and you'll know that sometimes the final installment is not always the best book in the series. This is not the case here. This is the book you have been working toward. You put in the time and this book will pay out all your wants and desires. Except maybe a date with a curvaceous redhead, you'll still have to work for that one brother. Ok ok I'll get serious. This is the strongest book in the series and it will leave nothing hanging and not leave you wanting. You want dark grit? - here you go sir. You want epic heroics? - here's a double serving on the house my good man. You want an evil bastard or two to get their come-uppings? - Try aisle six madam we are fully stocked and open 24 hours a day. My point is that Donaldson does not say, "well my characters will take the high road", no they need to get shit done. Ole Scott Brick brings every gritry feeling to life with these characters, and I promise you it is a performance that rivals any crap they have in the theaters. YOU WILL LOVE AND HATE THE CHARACTERS OF THIS BOOK AND SERIES MORE THAN ANY OTHER YOU HAVE READ. I promise yall. Angus, love him or hate him, I won't judge you, will dole out what you need. Morn has been through the shit and back; we all want to see if she ever gets any kind of happy ending. Davies, will he ever get his head on straight? Man just read the book and find out. If you make it to the end this book you will forever make want more like it. Don't worry ole UD (me) know's what you need. To conclude this is the crown jewel of Dark scifi in an amazing dark scifi series. Worth the read, but hell if you made it this far you already know that.

Remember kids if it ain't a run on sentence it ain't worth writing. Watch out for gap sickness and keep on trucking in Dark scifi.

If you like gritty nasty Sci fi

Don't read if you only like sanitized Sci fi, with that said this book being the last let up on the misery, it needed to and is the best book in series. This book was the reward for the endurance of the first 4

A truly great story

This entire series is at the very top of the pyramid of Science Fiction. It has Fabulous characters, deep moral challenges, intelligent sub-plots and a powerful read-in-between-the-lines commentary on humanity.
Scott Brick is the voice of Stephen R Donaldson… his work here as well as on the Thomas Covenant books is nothing short of astounding.
I could not recommend this more.

The Grand Finale!

But the title is actually "This Day All Gods Die"....the word "Must" isn't in it.

This was a wild series! I almost quit after the first book because it was so brutal, but I’m so glad I stuck with it. This was epic and dramatic on such a grand scale! I am now a huge fan of Donaldson and also Scott Brick is the man! Glad to see he performs Donaldson’s other works
