The Fall of Tartarus by Eric Brown
$8
SHIPPING OFFERED
"In myth, Tartarus was the lowest region of hell. In reality it is a world about to die...
I'd heard many a tale about Tartarus Major, how certain continents were technological backwaters five hundred years behind the times; how the Church governed half the planet with a fist of iron, and yet how, across scattered islands and sequestered lands, a thousand bizarre and heretic cults prospered too.
I'd heard how a lone traveller was hardly safe upon the planet's surface, prey to wild animals and cut-throats. Most of all I'd heard that Tartarus was a dying world, one that would be annihilated when its sun exploded in the magnificent stellar suicide of a supernova.
These are the stories of the people who are leaving Tartarus, those have decided to stay and those who are arriving on the planet for the apocalypse."
Very good condition. Minor creasing on cover and slight age discolouration. Black texta mark on bottom pages of book.
