Philip Jos Farmer, bestselling author of Riverworld, introduces the climatic volume of fantastic adventure within the confines of THE DUNGEON Escape-and victory? Fleeing from the mysterious creators of the Dungeon, Clive Folliot breaks through to the ninth level suddenly, completely alone. Stranded in a freezing polar wilderness, he faces certain death from the cold, but one urgent question drives him onward. His new surroundings bear frightening similarities to the world Clive left behind so long ago. Has he fought through the entire Dungeon-only to discover that the Earth itself is the ninth and final level? Joined by a monster more horrible-yet more human-than anything else he has yet encountered, Clive struggles to find his missing comrades and to triumph at last against the murderous masters of the Dungeon THE FINAL BATTLE by Richard A.
