Synopsis
Venture into a dying Earth where the sun is extinguished, and the last of humanity cowers within a colossal metal pyramid against a blackened world of cosmic horrors.In the unfathomable future, the sun has long since burned out. The remnants of mankind survive within the Great Redoubt, a towering fortress of grey metal standing seven miles high, besieged by monstrous entities and silent forces of pure evil lurking in the eternal dark of the Night Land. From this heavily guarded sanctuary, a young man armed with the rare gift of Night-Hearing intercepts a mysterious, telepathic signal. Across millions of miles of monster-infested wastelands, another refuge—the Lesser Redoubt—is calling out. To his shock, the voice in his mind belongs to the reincarnated soul of his lost love from a forgotten age. As the Earth-Current powering her distant sanctuary begins to fail, he must choose between the safety of the fortress and an impossible, heroic quest into the pitch-black abyss.Why you will love this: This staggering visionary epic is a masterpiece of early Science Fiction / Fantasy, blending dark fantasy, weird fiction, and post-apocalyptic cosmic terror.
