Antiphon

The Psalms of Isaak, Book 3

De: Ken Scholes

Narrado por: Scott Brick, Gabrielle de Cuir, John Rubenstein, Stefan Rudnicki

Nothing is as it seems to be.

The ancient past is not dead. The hand of the Wizard Kings still reaches out to challenge the Androfrancine Order, to control the magick and technology that they sought to understand and claim for their own.

Nebios, the boy who watched the destruction of the city of Windwir, now runs the vast deserts of the world, far from his beloved Marsh Queen. He is being hunted by strange women warriors, while his dreams are invaded by warnings from his dead father. Jin Li Tam, queen of the Ninefold Forest, guards her son as best she can against both murderous threats, and the usurper queen and her evangelists. They bring a message: Jakob is the child of promise of their Gospel, and the Crimson Empress is on her way.

And in hidden places, the remnants of the Androfrancine order formulate their response to the song pouring out of a silver crescent that was found in the wastes.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The third installment of Scholes's grand-scale Psalms of Isaak saga ... expands the genre-blending narrative in glorious style.... A diverse cast of dynamic characters, a tantalizingly labyrinthine mystery, a world full of wonders, and powerful symbolism and imagery power this seamless merging of epic fantasy and science fiction." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

"Scholes continues to show his deft hand at crafting characters, and his penchant for the surprising plot twist is displayed to good effect." (RT Book Reviews)

a significant volume that move the story far.

I feel as if I have completed two volumes. I was already surprised the book hadn't ended a while back when I found I still had over 8 hours left. The book answers many questions while still leaving you with many more give your new understandings.
