About this title

Synopsis

Foretold to help the beleaguered natives of Nextdoor overthrow their oppressive godlike rulers, Edward Exeter must destroy the god known as Zath, whose source of strength is in human sacrifice

Reviews

The conclusion of the trilogy The Great Game resembles its predecessors, Past Imperative (1995) and Present Tense (1996), in being tightly written, intelligent, and original. Edward Exeter reaches the climax of his quest to be the liberator who will slay Zath, the self-appointed god of death. As often in tales of prophets and heroes, the supporting cast accounts for more than half the story's interest; it includes, among others, the progressively less naive Julian Smedley, the lusty Amazon Ursula Newton, Eleal Singer, and Dommni Houseboy, with his engaging Anglo-Indian speech patterns. Duncan also works out many of the implications of the previous volumes, makes the logistics of a crusade come alive, and draws on what is clearly extensive knowledge of history, folklore, and comparative religion. The Great Game, though not Duncan's most accessible work, may prove to be his most durable. This volume provides a decisive and satisfactory end to it. Roland Green

Store Description

Transformer Books is now trading as a mail order seller almost exclusively. Specialist subjects are sciences, foreign languages, and science fiction and fantasy, with substantial selections also in crime fiction, academic and general interest. Enquiries by mail or email are welcome; especially since only a portion of the stock is listed online so far. For environmental reasons we make it a policy to recycle whatever packaging materials we can. Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping rates are now based on 500g book, to be fairer in these days of steadily increasing postage prices, to buyers of average and smaller sized books; for heavier books we will Request Extra Shipping to the correct amount. Similarly cost of a 2nd book is based on an increment of not more than 500g, and we will request Extra Shipping if a combined parcel will cost more. Surface mail virtually does not now exist, and the distinction between Priority and Economy is now between Airmail Tracked/Signed delivery and Standard Airmail. We now use Request Additional Shipping for the tracked/signed supplement as well as on higher weights, since the postal services are in chaos at present and are currently unreliable regarding losses. Unfortunately booksellers have no influence on the postal services. Current Conditions. Since international postal services are almost universally in chaos at present, largely Covid-generated, with huge delays and some losses, I have removed the Standard airmail option from non-European destinations for the duration.
