Short description

Book Four of the acclaimed, 5-star rated Dark Pilgrim series. Science fiction at its best

Extended description

The end is near. Hundreds of planets have been laid waste by the Drek and the virus. The Restoration begins in earnest its campaign to destroy The Church of the Blessed Prophets. Lord Comte Mishi's rebellion against what's left of the Imperium gains solid ground as the Lord Cardinal Nerodia presents the Lord Marshall Bhagavan in chains. Ailanthus' band of friends grows smaller and smaller with death, betrayal and self-sacrifice, while his responsibilities grow larger and larger and he learns fully the distorted history of humans and Dwad-Mehstiv and what he must do to save the last remnant of humanity. Thus continues the saga of Ailanthus and Tethys, two friends caught up in a universe that wants more from them than they are willing to give.

Review by: Susan Uttendorfsky on Aug. 28, 2012 :
Ubtrent has compiled another crowd-pleaser with this fourth title in the Dark Pilgrim series! The exceptional writing incorporates rich, vibrant details and imaginative, note-worthy characters. Confusion and chaos rule – each character starts out with a firm purpose but is forced to adjust quickly to deal with unexpected complications. A subtle touch of humor pervades; a large, insectoid assassin frustrated with his error thinks, “It was enough to make him molt right there on the spot.” This transitional book has a little less action than the previous volumes but is jam-packed with information and the plot twists will make any reader of this series gasp with delight and shock. Ubtrent has a first-rate ability to weave multiple sub-plots throughout the series, each of which branches into additional scenarios. His accomplished introduction of new, distinctive characters as preceding ones meet their unexpected demise continues to enchant this reader.
