SYNOPSIS:
From the international bestselling author of The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant comes an extensive and all original new fantasy novella.
Augur's Gambit is a tight and action-filled novella of more than 40,000 words. A novella with all the rich word-building and acute characterisation that readers have come to expect from the man who re-invigorated the whole genre in the 1980s and went on to write one of Fantasy's landmark series.
Revelling in the sense of freedom that comes from writing a new creation after the massive, controlled effort of the ten book epic of the Chronicles this is a novella that will both delight existing fans and win new readers for Donaldson's uniquely rich and intelligent fantasies.
REVIEW:
A novella by Stephan in his Thomas Covanent series and is a title that fans will devour in a short time. IIt's delightful, has a solid story arc and for any fan will be a little gem to help escape from the real world. As usual with Stephen you get magical dialogue, top notch prose and its all welded together with an arc that will more than fire the imagination. Cracking.
