Customer Reviews

consider republishing entire series

Im writing this largely to urge publisher to reprint the entire series...Closs is wonderful at historically revivifying a long dead culture and surely if one book has been reprinted it is nothing but cruelly frustrating to readers not to reprint the rest!

A POWERFUL AND MOVING NOVEL OF A DOOMED ERA

The first novel of The Tarn Trilogy. The time is the Dark Ages. A small population of Pagan scholars are threatened by the unstoppable horrors of approaching Christian crusaders bent on erradicating all heretics. Ancient knowledge is threatened and a way of life is on the brink. A brilliant and moving beginning to an impressive trilogy of a tragic time. A work of great mystical power. Presently out of print and difficult to obtain, but a great and moving work. The Tarn Trilogy Vol I. - High Are the Mountains. Vol II. - Deep Are the Valleys. Vol III. - The Silent Tarn.
