The Last Dark

By: Stephen R. Donaldson

Narrated by: Scott Brick

Compelled step by step to actions whose consequences they could neither see nor prevent, Thomas Covenant and Linden Avery have fought for what they love in the magical reality known only as "the Land." Now they face their final crisis. Reunited after their separate struggles, they discover in each other their true power--and yet they cannot imagine how to stop the Worm of the World’s End from unmaking Time. Nevertheless they must resist the ruin of all things, giving their last strength in the service of the world's continuance.

Critic reviews

"Although richly allegorical, the novel's great strength is the warm humanity of its characters, who distinguish themselves by repeatedly confronting and overcoming their personal frailties. Donaldson's fans will find this fitting finale 36 years in the making." --Publishers Weekly

Praise for FATAL REVENANT:
"Difficult but worthwhile, this complicated and emotional continuation of the Thomas Covenant saga is exactly what Donaldson's fans have been hoping for." --Publishers Weekly

Praise for THE RUNES OF THE EARTH:
“[A] landmark fantasy saga.” --Entertainment Weekly

“A reawakening of a classic fantasy saga.” --Library Journal

“A trilogy of remarkable scope and sophistication.” --Los Angeles Times

“Startlingly original antiheroic fantasy resonating with echoes of both Tolkien and Philip K. Dick.” --Publishers Weekly

“An epic with page-turning intrigue.” --Detroit Free Press

“Impressive…filled with splendid inventions.” --Booklist

“The most important and original work of epic fantasy after Tolkien…Rich in paradox, metaphor and symbolism…Donaldson’s writing remains one of the most original and intellectually challenging works to have graced contemporary epic fantasy.” --SF Site

"Donaldson has met [readers'] high expectations...you might utter at the book's end: 'I want the next book right now.'" --Detroit Free Press

"Fans can celebrate." --The Kansas City Sta

Praise for THE CHRONICLES OF THOMAS COVENANT:
"A feast for epic fantasy addicts." --Publishers Weekly

"The most original fantasy since THE LORD OF THE RINGS." --Time Out

"I don't think a books like this come along more than a few times in a lifetime." --Marion Zimmer Bradley

thank you Scott for doing this last chronicle

the culmination of such a great work of literature was narrated perfectly. thank you

I believe

This was another great entry in the series, I highly recommend it in all forsooth.

INCREDIBLE!!

I read the first book the first time,in 1983. I now have finished the 6th reading of the series. Such an incredible story, and the characters are pure joy,and sorrow.

Wow, pulled it out in the end!

The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever is one of the great Fantasy literature series. Scott Brick’s narration is responsible for elevating this series to greatness and saving this book. A significant character change occurred when Linden Avery became a weak, whining joke. It was like the old Thomas Covenant in drag; thankfully, she returned to herself with the support of Stave (Superman) and the book's exciting ending, the story was saved. The book even left a slight, tiny, itty-bitty, minuscule chance for one more series. One word, “Aftermath.”

Outstanding

Thanks to Scott Brick for returning! Great finish to an amazing series. Well done sir
