Book description
The third instalment in the GAP sequence: Stephen Donaldson's
fascinating universe peopled with characters of a passion and intensity
only he could create. After a terrifying encounter with the Amnion
aliens, Nick Succorso made for the safety of Thanatos Minor, the
infamous bootleg shipyard where illegals from all over the galaxy come
to repair their ships (and indulge their exotic tastes in
entertainment). But the Amnion are waiting, and for Nick, Morn Hyland
and her force-grown son Davies, the safe haven has turned into a vision
of hell. Now Angus Thermopyle heads for Thanatos Minor, programmed to
carry out a secret mission that could have nightmarish consequences for
them all... Stephen Donaldson lived in India for 13 years with his
father, a medical missionary, who worked extensively with lepers; it was
here that he conceived the character of Thomas Covenant. He was awarded
the John W. Campbell Award as Best Writer of the Year for The Chronicles
of Thomas Covenant The Unbeliever, which, with the sequel trilogy,
became instant bestsellers. He is also the author of the fantasy duology
'Mordant's Need', the SF epic quintet 'The Gap', and a number of
mysteries written under the pseudonym Reed Stephens. He won the World
Fantasy Award in 2000.
