Era Of Darkness: Volume II: Extinction - Ian Thompson - Bog

Hundreds of thousands of warriors have already perished in the war against the demon invaders. Now the conflict reaches a devastating conclusion... Queen Lar's defence of Tremok has inflicted massive casualties upon the demon hordes. In response, the invaders amass all their forces from across the world of Emeran to besiege and annihilate the walled city. The Demon Masters know that once Tremok falls, all hope is lost for Emeran. The raw heroism of Tremok's defenders faces a force which utterly outnumbers and outmatches them. Battles become more and more desperate. Human numbers dwindle in every slaughter. Survivors are exhausted and losing hope... Can the unexpected arrival of reinforcements possibly turn the tide of the conflict in Lar's favour? And what of the new demon reinforcements? More lethal warriors. More terrible weapons. More horrific allies... Yet, worse is to come... What has happened to Pec's expedition to the Demon Masters' citadel? Has an insidious betrayal consigned the nations of Emeran to extinction? The Era Of Darkness is about to consume Emeran forever. Reviews from this author's fantasy releases: ...for the Era Of Darkness saga: "Wow! The world Ian Thompson created for Era of Darkness is immense, and his cast of characters is huge. Luckily, Mr. Thompson is a fantastic guide. He drops you in the middle of the action and leads you through a world bracing itself against its inevitable demise. The action is intense, the battles are brutal, and the characters are complex and very real. What a great story! ...I did thoroughly enjoy this story, and I will be picking up Era of Darkness Volume II: Extinction. If you love heart-pumping action and vicious battles, you have to read this book. However, I must warn. The action is brutal and gruesome. If you're squeamish about blood (or organs exploding or bones shattering), you may want to avoid this one.""...vividly descriptive with an almost metered artistry...""...Fast and furious paced action fantasy. Great characters that you really care for. Battles are huge and bloodthirsty. Cool races and well-designed monsters. A cracking-good read... ""I was impressed by the quality of the storytelling... an enthralling mix... a solid read""...intense battles, incredible dark magic... so many twists and turns... I loved it""I was completely sucked in and captivated from the first page""...mixture of fantasy, mystery, loyalty that make it a one of a kind story""Wonderful characters and an even better story""This was my first peek at this series and author. I'll definitely be reading more from him. This is an interesting short read. Lots of action and sometimes gory descriptive details. It's a nice introduction to a couple of the characters and really sets the stage for what's to come. This appears to be a vast new world that I'm ready to learn more about."...for the Hector Reborn saga: "...I couldn't put it down. Amongst all the fantasy and action, the strongest part of the story is Hector's character. He is governed by honour and loyalty - which not only leads him into conflict, but leads him to cause a disaster. We see many sides of him, from his personal strength, to his heartbreak and loss, to a desperation to fix the terrible things he causes... to him being almost destroyed by another twist in the novel... very cleverly written - I highly recommend this book."
