Product Description
After terrible atrocities by both sides, the series of skirmishes between Tierra and Uraba has spread and intensified, erupting into a full-blown crusade and irreparably dividing the known world. Now that the Uraban leader, Soldan-Shah Omra, has captured the ruined city of Ishalem, his construction teams discover a priceless ancient map that can guide brave explorers to the mysterious Key to Creation. Omra dispatches his adoptive son Saan to sail east across the uncharted Middlesea on a quest to find the Key. In Tierra, Captain Criston Vora sets out to find the fabled land of Terravitae. But Criston cannot forget his previous voyage that ended in shipwreck and disaster, and the loss of his beloved wife Adrea, who - unbeknownst to him - fights to survive palace intrigues and constant threats against her life in far-off Uraba. For Adrea is now the wife of the soldan-shah - the sworn enemy of Tierra ...

I found the first book, The Edge of the World (Terra Incognita 1), in a big mall in the center of Krakow. There was an American book store, and I wanted to read The Sword of Truth in English (I am from France). They didn't have the first book, and I was disappointed... But then I saw it, the sign of the double sea serpent, the name "The Edge of the World"... I was in awe when I took the book in my hands. I read the presentation on the back cover, and I knew I had to read this book. I was always fond of sailors, of big adventures, of complex relationships between countries... I am very happy I bought it. And once you finish to read the first book, you cannot wait to start the other one!
I didn't finish the second one, but it's wonderful. The story is great, with deep characters, nice twists and a lot of great moments. It's a vast world the author handles very well, and brings the reader a pleasant and enjoyable experience. It is very interesting, in so far that it's at the same time a fantasy novel, but represents also reality, with the two countries making war, their religion... And also in the way the people live, act and so on. It's as if the story took place a long time ago on earth, when the world wasn't yet fully discovered, and where, maybe, creatures such as sea serpents existed.
It's a great book. I thank Kevin J. Anderson for bringing us such a nice piece of art!

Known perhaps more for his Dune work, Kevin's fantasy offering may not be something that you're too aware of. Here in the second tale in his Terra Incognita series the tale picks up where the original left off leaving the reader without chance to gather breath.
The prose is sharp, the descriptiveness ideal and characters that really leap off the page to make them a cast that you just can't wait to adventure with. Whilst there's a great round up of previous events at the beginning you really have to read the original to get the most out of the careful world building as its on a similar scale to Erikson's Malazan world. Hopefully some of the awards will recognise this as it really does deserve some recognition.
