Description

Gene Wolfe's Return to the Whorl is the final volume of his ambitious SF trilogy The Book of the Short Sun. Narrated by Horn, who has embarked on a quest to find the heroic leader Patera Silk, the story takes a complex and shifting journey through space and time.

Horn's identity has become ambiguous, and the telling of the story is equally complex, blurring the lines between past and present. As the trilogy comes to a strange and seductive climax, Wolfe's major new fiction brings a sense of resolution to the series.

With its unique blend of science fiction and philosophical exploration, Return to the Whorl is a thought-provoking and challenging read that will appeal to fans of complex and thought-provoking fiction.
