In a world scarred by an apocalyptic past, evoking a time both 2,000 years past and 2,000 years into the future, untold thousands gather for a crusade. Among them, two men and two women are ensnared by a mysterious traveler, Anasûrimbor Kellhus - part warrior, part philosopher, part sorcerous, charismatic presence - from lands long thought dead. The Darkness That Comes Before is a history of this great holy war, and like all histories, the survivors write its conclusion.

The Darkness that Comes Before drew thunderous acclaim from reviewers and fellow fantasy authors. Listeners were invited into a darkly threatening, thrillingly imaginative universe and introduced to one of the genre's great characters: the powerful Anasrimbor Kelhus. Bakker's follow-up, The Warrior Prophet enticed readers further into the richly imagined world of myth, violence, and sorcery. The startling answers to these questions are brought into focus here, in the conclusion to the trilogy.

When a Muslim cleric predicts planes will fall from the sky, America braces for a terrorist attack. But when the prediction proves true, the real cause is far more terrifying: a microbe that eats oil, effectively destroying all gas-operated mechanisms. Gillette, an epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control, understands the devastation that the microbe could wreak. But his far-more-chilling theory is that the microbe is synthetic and the work of terrorists.

Schon als kleiner Junge träumte Greg davon, Soldat zu werden. Heute ist er ein SEAL und gehört damit zu den legendären Spezialkräften der U.S. Navy. Jede einzelne Narbe an seinem stählernen Körper erzählt eine bewegende Geschichte. Die gefährlichen Einsätze meistern er und sein bester Freund Jasper mit Bravour. Die Adrenalinkicks und auch die Jubelrufe, die ertönen, wenn sie heimkehren, sind unvergleichlich. Bei so einem turbulenten Lebensstil bleibt allerdings kein Platz für eine Beziehung … nur für lockere, stürmische Bettgeschichten. Das ist jedenfalls Gregs Ansicht.
