The Dying Earth by Jack Vance

Writer's picture: Alex OchmanAlex Ochman

Portrays a time in the distant future when the Earth's sun has dwindled to a cold red star and the laws of physics weaken to the point where magic and sorcery reappear and flourish


Seekers of wisdom and beauty include lovely lost women, eccentric wizards and man-eating melancholy deodands. Twk-men ride dragonflies and trade information for salt. There are monsters and demons. Each being is morally ambiguous: the evil are charming, the good are dangerous.
