Product Description

A new-cover reissue of the third book in the bestselling five-volume sf series created by the world-famous author of the Thomas Covenant chronicles -- and acclaimed as the 'best work of his career'. On a lonely planetoid in forbidden space, the players in a power game of mind-shattering proportions were heading for an explosive confrontation. After a terrifying encounter with the Amnion aliens, Nick Succorso had made for the safety of Thanatos Minor, the infamous bootleg shipyard where illegals from all over the galaxy came to repair their ships and indulge their exotic tastes in entertainment. But the Amnion were waiting, and for Nick, Morn Hyland and her force-grown son Davies, the safe haven would become a vision of hell. Meanwhile, Angus Thermopyle had been captured by the UMCP and turned into a deadly cyborg. Now, as the UMC controllers looked on from the sidelines, he was heading for Thanatos Minor, programmed to carry out a secret mission that could have nightmarish consequences for them all...

Sheer Excitement!5
This is the 3rd in the 5 book series, and for me the most action packed and exciting of them all. By now we (think) we know the characters very well and the ups and downs in this book keep you enthralled. Unlike the earlier books this one can appeal to a wider audience with a more standard sci-fi feel.

Best Donaldson Read5
In it's category, this gotta be one of the best books ever. I was totally absorbed, and went on to read the rest of the series. I was a little disappointed in the last book of the series, "This Day All Gods Die", but "A Dark and Hungry God Arises" had both extremely exciting plot development and excellent characters. I recommend the whole series to any serious SF reader. It is way better than the books of the Covenant series that I have read. Donaldson tends to be a bit longwinded, but the Gap series is so intense that you _want_ the length. Just superb.

Donaldson soars from 'The Land' to outer space in style5
This book is an exciting, gripping conclusion to the Gap series. It is superb!!. Donaldson at his darkest and best.
