Keeps getting better
Covenants destruction of the staff of law in the first chronicles set into motion events that caused the "land" to evolve into something no one could have predicted. I'm almost done with "The Wounded Land" and the 2nd chronicles is starting out even better than the last, which says quite a lot.

A hero you can hate.
Thomas Covenant is a most complicated hero.This is book 4 of a six book original saga so is not a stand-alone book.Trying so hard to understand, and do the right thing, and seemingly causing more pain than he alleviates he none-the-less is the only hope, resisting and persevering at the same time.Read these books if you like fantasy, angst, evil and courage.Gary Plesea ...

Product Description
Last Drink Bird Head is a variation on a surrealist writing game: we gave the phrase to over 70 writers and asked them "Who or what is Last Drink Bird Head?" The results run the gamut from the hilarious to the terrifying, with each writer bringing their signature style and voice to the enterprise.

Product Description
A new-cover reissue of the fourth 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'.Events were not moving as the Amnion had intended. Once again humans had been false in their dealings with the aliens.As the planetoid Thanatos Minor exploded into atoms, the Trumpet hurtled into space only one step ahead of hostile pursuers. On board were Morn Hyland and her force-grown son Davies, cyborg Angus Thermopyle and Captain Nick Succorso -- old enemies thrown together in a desperate bid for survival.For both the Amnion and the UMCP, the immediate capture of the fleeing ship and the secrets it contained was imperative. But for Trumpet's exhausted crew the only hope lay in an illegal lab in the distant binary solar system of Valdor Industrial. It would be a journey of unpredictable danger -- from which not all would return... ... Read more

Read More Than One Novel by One.
I can call this novel a link among the science fiction novel's. It is full of fantastic events and very interesting. You can travel through the worlds from one galaxy to another, and take part in a war between the human kind and robots, one of the human dreams'. After Reading This book I ask this question again from myself: Is that true, Can robots disturb human's bright technology?
