The Judging Eye: Aspect-Emperor, cartea 01
Autor R. Scott Bakkeren Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2010 – vârsta de la 18 ani
Widely praised by reviewers and a growing body of fans, Bakker has already established his reputation as one of the smartest writers in the fantasy genre--a writer in the line stretching from Peake to Tolkein. Now he returns to The Prince of Nothing universe with the long-awaited The Judging Eye, the first book in an all-new series.
Set twenty years after the end of The Thousandfold Thought, Bakker reintroduces us to a world that is at once familiar but also very different than the one readers thought they knew. Delving even further into his richly imagined universe of myth, violence, and sorcery, and fully remolding the fantasy genre to broaden the scope of intricacy and meaning, R. Scott Bakker has once again written a fantasy novel that defies all expectations and rewards the reader with an experience unlike any to be had in the canon of today¹s literature.

Praise for R. Scott Bakker
"In a very short time, author R. Scott Bakker has proven that he is well on his way to building a universe that is arguably comparable with those created by the likes of Frank Herbert (Dune) and Isaac Asimov (Foundation)...a universe so satisfyingly detailed you [feel] as though you could slip inside." ?January magazine
"A journey unlike any other you have experienced. Part Dante's Inferno and part Conrad's Heart Of Darkness, this is fantasy literature like you've never read before." ?Blogcritics
