Product Description
Product Description
On the vast waterworld of Aquasilva, the priestly Domain controls magic, weather, and history itself. Determined to crush every last spark of resistance against their despotic rule, they have launched a brutal Inquisition in order to root out dissent and heresy wherever they find them. With their army of fanatical holy warriors, the Sacri, the hooded Inquisitors advance across the globe, setting both books and human beings to the torch. Young Cathan, heir to the throne of Lepidor, has already escaped the Inquisition once. Now, as he and his companions embark on a hazardous voyage in search of potential allies, he finds himself keeping barely one step ahead of his vengeful foes. But the Domain is not the only power seeking Cathan. In decadent Thetia, a hidden conspiracy of dissidents plots to use him to further their own seditious purposes, while in his capital city of Selerian Alastre, the Emperor spins his webs of intrigue in the Imperial Palace....A sweeping epic that bears comparisons to both Tolkien and Frank Herbert, Inquisition confirms the promise shown by Anselm Audley's outstanding debut, Heresy, and establishes him as an exciting new voice in fantasy and science fiction.
About the Author
Anselm Audley was nineteen when HERESY was published in June 2001. Having studied at Millfield School, he is now at St John's College, Oxford, reading Ancient and Modern History.

Format:Paperback
This brings the Aquasilva we travelled in heresy more firmly into focus as a wholly new and diversely interesting place to be. The apogee of this book is Sarhaddon's oratorial exerpt, which I am reaching once again as I reread Inquisition before beginning Crusade. Anselm has brought the characters and their plight into being once again only this time we begin to truly identify and sympathise with their situation.

Nicely done!
1 Mar 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is the second book in the Aquasilva trilogy, following "Heresy", which ended with the rescue of Cathan, the Escount of Lepidor, and his companions just before they were about to be burned at the stake by the Domain, the dominant religion of most of the world. Cathan, Ravenna and Palatine are now considered heretics by the Domain, and if they are captured will be condemned to death or worse. The three enter into a seemingly hopeless battle against the relentless advance of the Domain and the impending threat of a Crusade that will cause destruction and death on a grand scale.
The Aquasilva trilogy is complex, fast paced and intelligently written. The author continues to refine and improve his writing throughout this book and its sequel. This series is enjoyable as well as thought provoking and I would highly recommend it.
