THE SUN IS DYING...
THE FABRIC OF SPACE-TIME IS UNSTABLE...
THE EARTH IS THREATENED...
On a dying planet in the far-distant future, Devy of the Turtle Tribe must recover his stolen Soul Egg. With his beautiful companion Vana and the plant-man Sloosh, he trails the Yawti who stole it across a nightmare swamp-jungle landscape.
Their fate is to encounter the ageless extraterrestrial Shemibob - who knows that the end is nigh.
And who knows the only escape...
Not since Jack Vance's classic stories of the Dying Earth has there been such a brilliant saga of Earth's endtime.
