The Shadow and Night
The Shadow and Night | Chris Walley
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
In the first book in the epic Lamb among the Stars series, author Chris Walley weaves the worlds of science and the spirit, technology and supernatural into something unique in science fiction. Twelve thousand years into the future, the human race has spread across the galaxy to hundreds of terraformed worlds. The effects of the Fall have been diminished by the Great Intervention, and peace and contentment reign under the gentle rule of the Assembly. But suddenly, almost imperceptibly, things begin to change. On the remotest planet of Farholme, Forester Merral D’Avanos hears one simple . . . lie. Slowly a handful of men and women begin to realize that evil has returned and must be fought. What will this mean for a people to whom war and evil are ancient history? Thus begins the epic that has been described as “If C. S. Lewis and Tolkien had written Star Wars.” The Shadow and Night was previously published in two volumes: The Shadow at Evening and The Power of the Night.

I actually thought I didn't have an #augusthaul. Then I remembered the Kindle. Bought 3, read one. So much for not adding to the (virtual) TBR pile. At least they don't take up shelf/floor space! #augustphotochallenge #day30

Mehso-so

Still unsure about this one. It's an interesting premise: thousands of years in the future, sin has been eradicated, humanity is united and peaceful, happy to follow prescribed tradition. Then evil begins to rear its head. I was distracted by the theological implications of the proposed world, and had issues with the portrayal of a sin-free world & sin's subsequent return. Also clunky dialogue. Book club pick: should at least be a good discussion!

DebReads4fun I read this book a few years ago. Your book club should enjoy a lively discussion. 8y
BarbaraJean @DebReads4fun Yeah, I'm looking forward to discussing the ideas it brings up! 8y
