Nekromantikerns Krig 1: Debut
Inkvisitionens hängivna härskaror under ledning av heliga exekutor fader Etlau har belägrat det gåtfulla Svarta tornet högt uppe på istundran i norr. Inspärrade i Västermörkrets mäktiga artefakt befinner sig den blivande Förintaren nekromantiker Fess och den lilla drakflickan Lokatten. I salen står ett stort vattenur som räknar den utmätta tiden till transformationen, medan Fess försjunker i dystra grubblerier kring begångna misstag och synder. Men även fader Etlaus galopperande galenskap tilldrar sig allt mer hans nyfikna intresse…
För att fördriva tiden undersöker Fess tornets kammare och gemak, men av någon anledning ryggar han tillbaka inför en marmortrappa, som verkar specialgjord just för honom och som leder rakt ner i tornets hemliga grundvalar.
I salen droppar vattenuret långsamt vidare. Kanske är det inkvisitionssoldaternas meningslösa död vid stormningen av tornet som ska få Kalken att rinna över och slutgiltigt bereda vägen för Förintaren? Men� finns det verkligen bara en? Samtidigt, på en helt annan plats i Mångfalden av världar, pågår ett brädparti mellan två fallna gudar…
Detta är den åttonde boken och inledningen till den stora finalen i Nick Perumovs hyperboliska, ryskwagnerianska fantasyopera.

About the author
Nick Perumov
76 books146 followersNick Perumov (Russian:
Ник Перумов
) is the pen name of Nikolay Daniilovich Perumov (Russian: Николай Даниилович Перумов; born 21 November 1963), a Russian fantasy and science fiction writer.
Perumov was born November 21, 1963 in Leningrad, USSR. He began writing short stories since he was a teenager, and after reading The Lord of the Rings in the early 1980s, he became a fantasy fan. After studying at the Leningrad Polytechnical Institute, Perumov worked at a research institute, and later as a translator.
In 1985-1991 he his debut 'Кольцо Тьмы ' (The Ring of Darkness), a fantasy triology, which consisted of two novels: Эльфийский Клинок (Elven Blade),Черное Копье (Black Lance)and Адамант Хенны. The events of the book took place in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, 300 years after the War of the Ring. Perumov initially regarded his novel as just a fan fiction written for friends, until one of his colleagues offered to publish it. In 1993 the duology, re-edited and renamed 'Кольцо Тьмы' (The Ring of Darkness) was published in Severo-Zapad publishing, which paid Perumov just $300. The Ring of Darkness has sold at least 100,000 copies, and ranked high in popularity among Russian fantasy readers. At the same time it also provoked a controversy in Tolkien fandom. Some Tolkien fans considered that no one has the right to write sequels to The Lord of the Rings and to change Middle-earth's history. Other critics argue that Perumov eroded the edge between Good and Evil by giving Uruk-hai humanlike behaviour.
After the success of his debut, Perumov decided to start a career of professional writer. He wrote the novel 'Гибель Богов' (Godsdoom), the first to be set in Упорядоченное (The Consistent), his universe of multiple connected worlds. The Consistent became the main locale of his following books, including the most known, 8-volume series Хранитель Мечей (The Keeper of Swords).
Perumov's books published in overall number of more than 4 millions of copies and translated to many languages, Northern and Eastern European mostly. One of his books, Godsdoom has also been translated to English. At Eurocon 2004 he was awarded as the best fiction writer of Europe.
Perumov now lives in the United States of America, where he works at a research center as a microbiologist. He claims writing is his 'hobby', while science is his work.

I didn´t get into this book as much as the ones before it, in the series that is. It felt as though not much (believe it or not) was happening. I suppose that I lacked the internal struggle that Fess has had in the other books. It became a bit, in lack of better words, obvious. I will still keep reading the series I think, but not with the same eagerness.

En fantastisk fantasyserie av episka mått. Jag har knappt kunnat lägga ifrån mig böckerna sedan jag började läsa den första i våras. Nu inväntar jag nästa bok som bör släppas inom kort.
