CRUICIBLE OF THE DRAGON GOD - MIKE WILD

PUBLISHER: ABADDON

JACKET TEXT:

Hordes of a deadly and unknown species of predator swarm across Vos and Pontaine, killing and destroying everything in their path. Where have they come from? Is there a connection with the Final Faith airship in the Drakengrat Mountains?

What was 'the mistake'? Exactly what are the k'nid ­ and how can they be stopped? New questions for Kali Hooper and her friends to answer ­ but doing so will prove far from easy. From a labyrinthine dwarven deathtrap to a besieged and battle-torn Andon, a haunted ancient limbo at the end of time and the aquatic lair of a vast serpent, Kali must battle her way to a place in the clouds that legend calls the Crucible of the Dragon God. And there she must confront the past itself, for the Crucible holds a secret kept even from the Old Races themselves ­ a secret so staggering that she is about to discover the true reason her world is called Twilight...

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Mike Wild is much older than he has a right to be, considering the kebabs, the booze and the fags. Maybe it's because he still thinks he's 15. Apart from dabbling occasionally in publishing and editing, he's been a freelance writer for ever, clawing his way up to his current dizzy heights by way of work as diverse as Doctor Who, Masters of the Universe, Starblazer, 'Allo 'Allo! and ­ erm ­ My Little Pony. Counting one Teen Romance, one ABC Warriors and two Caballistics Inc, The Clockwork King of Orl is his fifth novel. However, only his beloved wife and tuna-scoffing cat give him the recognition he deserves.
