Beskrivning

Lawrence brings the Broken Empire series to its devastating conclusionThe path to the throne is broken – only the broken can walk itThe world is cracked and time has run through, leaving us clutching at the end days. These are the days that have waited for us all our lives. These are my days. I will stand before the Hundred and they will listen. I will take the throne no matter who stands against me, living or dead, and if I must be the last emperor then I will make of it such an ending.This is where the wise man turns away. This is where the holy kneel and call on God. These are the last miles, my brothers. Don't look to me to save you. Run if you have the wit. Pray if you have the soul. Stand your ground if courage is yours. But don't follow me.Follow me, and I will break your heart.

Mer om författaren

Mark Lawrence is married with four children, one of whom is severely disabled. His day job is as a research scientist focused on various rather intractable problems in the field of artificial intelligence. He has held secret level clearance with both US and UK governments. At one point he was qualified to say 'this isn't rocket science … oh wait, it actually is'.Between writing and caring for his disabled child, Mark spends his time playing computer games, tending an allotment, brewing beer, and avoiding DIY.

Praise for Prince of Thorns:‘Dark and relentless, Prince of Thorns will pull you under and drown you in story. A two-in-the-morning page turner. Absolutely stunning… jaw-dropping’ROBIN HOBB‘Excellent – on a par with George R.R. Martin’CONN IGGULDEN‘[A] morbidly gripping, gritty fantasy tale.’Publishers Weekly‘Lawrence’s poetic prose is amazing, far and away the best of the modern fantasy authors’PETER V. BRETT

Värdig avslutning
Mark Lawrences Broke Empire-epos är på många sätt en helt fantastisk läsupplevelse. Det är en nyskapande, mörk och bitvis rolig fantasy-trilogi som även utmärker sig genom att vara väldigt välskriven. Prosan är helt enkelt på en nivå som ligger långt över det mesta annat i genren. Emperor är den avslutande delen, och det är en värdig avslutning. De båda föregångarna skulle jag gladeligen ha gett 5 stjärnor. Emperor får nöja sig med fyra. Det känns som att Lawrence tappar lite av berättelsens överraskande spontanitet när alla trådar ska knytas ihop. Det är dock fortfarande en mycket bra bok, som får avsluta en i stora delar briljant trilogi.
