About this product

Product Information

A Hugo and Nebula Award nominee, The Urth of the New Sun is the long awaited sequel to science fiction Grand Master Gene Wolfe's four-volume classic, The Book of the New Sun. We return to the world of Severian, now the Autarch of Urth, as he leaves the planet on one of the huge spaceships of the alien Hierodules to travel across time and space to face his greatest test, to become the legendary New Sun or die. The strange, rich, original spaceship scenes give way to travels in time, wherein Severian revisits times and places which fill in parts of the background of the four-volume work, that will thrill and intrigue particularly all readers of the earlier books. But The Urth of the New Sun is an independent structure all of a piece, an integral masterpiece to shelve beside the classics, one itself.

Gene Wolfe's four-volume magnum opus, The Book of the New Sun, is one of the modern masterpieces of imaginative literature--an evocation of a world so far in the future that magic and technology, poetry and science, are indistinguishable,a world heavy with time but yet bereft of hope, a world brought to life by Mr. Wolfe's unique blend of slightly archaic diction and ever-surprising vocabulary. Readers familiar with these volumes will find much to enjoy in The Urth of the new Sun., Gene Wolfe's new book soars, falls free, runs like the river that runs through it from universe to universe, between life and death and life again. The groundnote of it all is human pain, so that this fantasy has the weight of vision., " The Urth of the New Sun is a fine coda to what is arguable the finest piece of literature American science fiction has yet produced, the four-volume Book of the New Sun ." -- Chicago Sun-Times "Gene Wolfe's new book soars, falls free, runs like the river that runs through it from universe to universe, between life and death and life again.

  • The sequel

    This is book 5 of the book of the new sun. 5 books of great sci fi / fantasy. I've read it more than 3 times and know that I will again. This copy is a gift.

  • An excellent read

    Much easier to understand than the 1st 4 books in this series, but every bit just as fascinating. Things are much more than they seem in the first 4 books.

  • Sci-fy greatness

    Can't wait to finish the fifth book and then reread from book one. Crazy insane, like Dune on crack.
