Each an acclaimed author in his own right, Larry Niven and Jerry
Pournelle have collaborated on some of the biggest bestsellers in
science fiction history, including the No. 1 "New York Times"
bestseller "Footfall, " as well as "Lucifer's Hammer, Inferno, Oath
of Fealty, " and "The Mote in God's Eye." Now Niven and Pournelle
have combined their award-winning talents and imaginations to
produce a masterpiece of epic fantasy that rivals the works of
Robert Jordan and David Eddings.
Set in the world of Niven's popular "The Magic Goes Away, " "The
Burning City" transports readers to an enchanted ancient city that
often bears a provocative resemblance to our own modem society.
Here Yagen-Atep, the volatile and voracious god of fire, holds
sway, alternately protecting and destroying the city's denizens. In
Tep's Town, nothing can burn indoors and no fire can start: by
accident -- except when the Burning comes upon the city. Then the
people, possessed by Yagen-Atep, set their own town ablaze in a
riotous orgy of destruction that often comes without warning.
Whandall Placehold has lived with the Burning all his life.
Fighting his way to adulthood in the mean-but-magical streets of
the city's most blighted neighborhoods, Whandall alone dreams of
escaping the god's wrath to find a new and better life. But his
best hope for freedom may lie with Morth of Atlantis, the enigmatic
sorcerer who killed his father!
Both gritty and exotic, "The Burning City" is unique fantasy
vision unlike any you have read before.
