Extended description

It is a world of perpetual night, for the sun has died and no stars dot the ebony sky. Mankind's last bastion is a huge habitat called the Great Redoubt. It is found in the last habitable region on the dead Earth, at the bottom of a 100 mile deep valley. Strange creatures prowl the darkness awaiting any adventurer that might wish to leave the Redoubt and explore. Few ever do. Of those few, far fewer ever return.
Before that time the dying sun hung perpetually in the sky shining down into the Valley, for the Earth had stopped turning.
Before that time, when the world turned so slowly a day took a full year to complete, huge mobile cities chased the sun and it's life giving light across the world.

These are the epochs of the Night Land. Our world and species clinging to life at the end of time. These are stories from those final days and of those that lived them.

Review by: Andy Robertson on Feb. 21, 2012 :
Good stories based in a fantastic fictional universe!!!

Delaney's collection showcases a strong imagination and a good competent storytelling ability. The only problem is that the anthology is too short and fragmentary - there is far far, more to write about in the Night Land!! It's impossible to get a feeling of the immense spans of time and the dramatic scenarios involved from just these few tales. Hopefuly we'll see more from him in future
