A Dark and Hungry God Arises: The Gap into Power

The Gap Cycle, Book 3

By: Stephen R. Donaldson

Narrated by: Scott Brick

A master storyteller, Stephen R. Donaldson established a worldwide reputation with his unforgettable, critically acclaimed fantasy series The Chronicles Of Thomas Covenant. Then, with The Real Story and Forbidden Knowledge, he launched a thrilling new science fiction series. Now the galactic epic continues as humanity struggles against the forces of ultimate evil - and its own dark nature.

The stage is set for confrontation at Billingate - illegal shipyard, haven for pirates and brigands, where every vice flourishes and every appetite can be sated. Gateway to the alien realm of the Amnion, the shipyard is a clearinghouse for all they require to fulfill their mutagenic plans against humanity. It is here that the fate of Morn Hyland is to be decided amid a kaleidoscopic whirl of plot and counterplot, treachery and betrayal. As schemes unravel to reveal yet deeper designs, Morn, Nick, and Angus' lives may all be forfeit as pawns in the titanic game played our between Warden Dios, dedicated director of the UMC Police, and the Dragon, greed-driven ruler of the UMC.

Here, the future of humankind hangs on the uncertain fortune of Morn Hyland in a daring novel of epic power and suspense, relentlessly gripping from first page to last.

amazing

makes star wars look like Disney. best sci fi saga ever. Angus is one of the most interesting characters ever. loved it.

Outstanding

Would you consider the audio edition of A Dark and Hungry God Arises: The Gap into Power to be better than the print version?

I read these books when they were published in the 1990's and had to wait about 18-24 months for the next one to come out, and they were all great. I gave them to a friend of mine and he said it might be the best story he had ever read.

This audio is as good as the book.
Highly recommend this series.

Digging deeper and getting darker

Guys the brutality, grittiness and dark foreboding just keeps on a-truckin'. I make light of my reviews but one real thing I want to convey is that our boy Donaldson is a master at character depth. He just keeps introducing more and more of 'em and not an ounce of effort is spared at making them part of the story and some one you'll care about. Anyway you'll get some pretty sick twists and turns out of this one, the whole time noticing that the already stacked odds are just getting higher and higher for both the good, bad, and ugly. If you haven't noticed it by now you gotta tip your hats to our man Scott Brick. Ole Donlandson can make you love or dislike the human characters with his excellent writing, but DAMN Scott makes you HATE the Amnion characters with his top notch narration. I can guarantee, with 100% certainty that whether it is affection or loathing these will be the character you have the most feeling for in scifi.

A great read!

This book picks up speed in this series. It makes you demand to read book four.
