Description
Harry Turtledove has become one of the most popular authors in SF today, with such bestsellers as The Guns of the South, How Few Remain, the Worldwar series, and The Great War: American Front. Widely hailed as the master of "alternate history" tales, he weaves his deep understanding of human history together with strong storytelling, a fantastic imagination, and a confident voice. Now Turtledove returns to the story of a World War in a world where magic works, with this moving sequel to Into the Darkness. Forthweg has been lost to the Algarvian and the Unkerlanter soldiers. Not satisfied to share the plundered Forthweg, Algarve invades Unkerlant and begins its slow push toward the Unkerlanter capital during the country's harsh winter. Away from the front, Algarvian soldiers corral Kaunians to send them west, toward Unkerlant, to work camps. The Kaunians left behind are worried about what the work camps might mean, but are assuaged by Algarvian lies. In Kuusamo, scholars race to find the relation between the laws of similarity and contagion, while the patient warriors of Zuwayza weigh the merits of siding with either the Algarvians or the Unkerlanters. Rumors abound about the Algarvian work camps, rumors most cannot believe are true. But the mages know, for they can feel the loss of life in their very souls. Turtledove's cast of characters takes on its own life as the reader sees the war from all sides and understands how the deaths and destruction benefit no one, not even the victors. In this world, the battle escalates and people tremble under the ... darkness descending.
