Author of 'The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant', one of the most acclaimed fantasy series of all time, master storyteller Stephen R. Donaldson returns with this exciting and long-awaited new series that takes us into a stunningly imagined future to tell a timeless story of adventure and the implacable conflict of good and evil within each of us.
Angus Thermopyle was an ore pirate and a murderer; even the most disreputable asteroid pilots of Delta Sector stayed locked out of his way.ย ย Those who didn't ended up in the lockup--or dead.ย ย But when Thermopyle arrived at Mallory's Bar & Sleep with a gorgeous woman by his side the regulars had to take notice.ย ย Her name was Morn Hyland, and she had been a police officer--until she met up with Thermopyle
But one person in Mallory's Bar wasn't intimidated.ย ย Nick Succorso had his own reputation as a bold pirate and he had a sleek frigate fitted for deep space.ย ย Everyone knew that Thermopyle and Succorso were on a collision course.ย ย What nobody expected was how quickly it would be over--or how devastating victory would be.ย ย It was common enough example of rivalry and revenge--or so everyone thought.ย ย The REAL story was something entirely different
In 'The Real Story', Stephen R. Donaldson takes us to a remarkably detailed world of faster-than-light travel, politics, betrayal, and a shadowy presence just outside our view to tell the fiercest, most profound story he has ever written.
