Product Description

Product Description

'Sanctaphrax will be destroyed by the energy of the mother storm...' Far over the Edge, the Mother Storm is brewing - a storm more terrifying than any seen in the lifetime of any Edgelander. Sweeping in from the open sky, it must strike the source of the Edgewater River to bring new energy to the land. But in its way is Sanctaphrax - a magnificent city built on a floating rock and tethered to the land by a massive chain...Only one person can save the Edgelands from certain disaster: Twig, the young sky pirate captain who had dared to sail over the Edge - but returned with his memory shattered and his crew flung far and wide. But to recover his memory and take action, Twig must first find his lost crew. And this means a journey back into the Deepwoods - and beyond...


From the Back Cover

Take your imagination to THE EDGE!

Far out in open sky, a ferocious storm is brewing. In its path is Sanctaphrax - a magnificent city built on a floating rock and tethered to the land by a massive chain.

Only Twig – a young sky pirate captain who has dared to sail over the Edge – has learned of the approaching danger. But his perilous voyage destroys his sky ship, hurling his crew into and beyond the Deepwoods, and robbing Twig of all memory…

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant, 3 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Midnight Over Sanctaphrax (Edge Chronicles) (Hardcover)
After reading Harry Potter i felt it was the best series of books in the world! It really captured my imagination. I never thought that anything that happened in it would happen (readers will know what i mean). It was so good no other book comes close. It was really very very very touching. I never thought books could take you away from your real life like these ones do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, the best I have ever read this month!, 21 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Midnight Over Sanctaphrax (Edge Chronicles) (Hardcover)
Twig, now a sky pirate captain, finally finds his father, only to say goodbye... but before Cloud Wolf disappears, he tells Twig something. Mother Earth is returning, to refill the almost empty supply of Riverrise water, and Sanctaphrax must be unchained for her to reach there. Otherwise her strength would be wasted on the object impending her, and the Edgelands will dry out, and so all life will be destroyed...the problem is, the moment Cloud Wolf and his ship disappeared, there was an explosion, and Twig and his crew were scattered, each somewhere in the Edgelands...and all have forgotten what had happened on the Stormchaser, save the Stone Pilot- but she is far, far away... and time is running out......... Thumbs up! A must read, with a moral as well- No matter what happens, just believe in yourself, and most of all, follow your heart...

5.0 out of 5 stars Better and better!, 18 April 2002
By A. J. Watson "Bones" (Newcastle-on-Tyne, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Midnight Over Sanctaphrax: Bk. III (Edge Chronicles) (Paperback)
I should say that I'm a little (?) older than most readers, but just as captivated by this fabulous writer.
The 3rd book in the series is the fattest one yet, maybe getting just a little too big for the younger reader... But anyone hooked on the previous two books will not care - they will only wish it were even longer!
Read the prequel to learn more about Cloud Wolf.

Paul stewart's imagination is unleashed in this episode - there are more strange creatures, people and beasts than ever - and Chris Riddell's illustrations get better & better - I WISH I could draw like that!

I can't wait for the next volume ... will it be about Twig or Cowlquape?
