Description
Gene Wolfe's The Book of the New Sun is a major work of twentieth-century American literature, presenting a truly alien social order that draws the reader in and refuses to let go. This new Tor Essentials edition features a new introduction by historian and novelist Ada Palmer, and is a testament to Wolfe's enduring influence on the science fiction genre.
The epic tale follows Severian, a wandering pilgrim driven by a powerful and unfathomable destiny, as he carries out a dark mission far from his home. The Citadel of the Autarch brings the story to its harrowing conclusion, as Severian clashes in a final reckoning with the dread Autarch, fulfilling an ancient prophecy that will alter the realm of Urth forever.
Wonderfully vivid and inventive, this is a story of the heroic epic, with an extraordinary hero at its centre. The Sword of the Lictor is the third volume in Wolfe's remarkable series, and is a worthwhile read for fans of science fiction and fantasy.
