Following the rousing success of his acclaimed Prince of Nothing trilogy, R. Scott Bakker returns to the awe-inspiring world of Eärwa with The Judging Eye (The Overlook Press / $26.95 / ISBN: 978-1-59020-169-5 / February 19, 2009). Set twenty years after the end of The Thousandfold Thought and in the same universe, The Judging Eye reveals that Anasûrimbor Kellhus, the Prince of Nothing, has now become Aspect-Emperor of a vast empire built on decades of conversion and bloodshed. He claims to hold the key to preventing the impending Second Apocalypse, but there are those who insist there is a darker truth to the nature of Kellhus’s Great Ordeal. Bakker’s work has been widely praised by reviewers and devoured by fans, and The Prince of Nothing series established him as one of the most craved writers in the fantasy genre. His work is infused with a philosophy and literary depth that has drawn comparisons to J.R.R Tolkien and Frank Herbert and placed his work firmly into the epic fantasy canon. Like Tolkien’s Middle-Earth and Herbert’s Dune, Bakker’s fully-formed world, foreign yet familiar, will stay with readers long after the story is over.
