Download or read book Chronicles of the High Inquest: Homeworld of the Heart: The Fifth Novel in the Inquestor Series written by S. P. Somtow and published by Inquestor. This book was released on 2020-04-05 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After forty years, S.P. Somtow has produced a fifth novel in the Chronicles of the High Inquest, one of the most lauded galactic empire epics of the 1980s. Critically acclaimed yet never previously in print as a complete set, the series has passionate adherents - and they have finally persuaded the author to enrich the universe with more novels. Homeworld of the Heart is the first of a trilogy within a trilogy. The songs of Sajit were known and loved through the million worlds of the Dispersal of Man. He was the favorite of Elloran, most powerful, most compassionate of the godlike Inquestors - even, it was rumored, his lover. In his old age, Ton Elloran visits a backwater planet that purports to contain the tomb of Sajit. A nostalgic visit to his childhood companion birth planet, however, reveals that everything he thought he knew about his closest friend was wrong - and that there were at least two Sajits, their stories bifurcating and melding in an ever more complex skein of memory, desire, and loss. Homeworld of the Heart begins in a small village in a backworld - where a microscopic glitch in Inquestral management has caused two contradictory games of makrúgh to be played out. People bins are raining from the sky, a city is devouring another city, and a goddess must learn to become a whore as cultures and worlds clash. The Inquestor Series is like Game of Thrones - but on a galactic scale. For twenty centuries, the godlike Inquestors have ruled the million worlds of the Dispersal of Man, keeping all its disparate civilizations in precarious balance by playing the star-destroying game of makrúgh. Theodore Sturgeon said "Somtow deals with the greatest magnitude of concept since Stapledon ... I deeply envy anyone who has not read the tale of the Inquestors, for they have before them this transcendent experience." Orson Scott Card said of this series, "he can create a world with less apparent effort than some writers devote to creating a small room ..." and in Homeworld of the Heart Somtow revisits and vastly expands the teeming landscape of the Inquestor series.

Download or read book Chronicles of the High Inquest: The Throne of Madness written by Sp Somtow and published by Diplodocus Press. This book was released on 2020-06-25 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kelver had been chosen by a heretic to be the chosen one who would bring down a galactic empire that had lasted twenty thousand years and controlled a million worlds. He was sent to Uran s'Varek, the vast artificial sphere build around the black hole at the heart of the galaxy, to be trained in the ways of the High Inquest, the godlike elite who ruled the known universe.Instead, he fell in love with the beautiful, cruel White Inquestrix Siriss, and the violet-eyed boy Arryk - was entranced by the singing city of Shentrazjit - wept at the sepulcher of worlds - made love in a desert of powdered chocolate - and was finally possessed by the Throne of Madness, whose unimaginable power came from the deaths of stars.The Inquestor Series, a dazzling future history of a galactic empire of shattering beauty and brutality, was iconic science fiction of the 1980s by World Fantasy Award and Campbell Award winner S.P. Somtow, who created worlds, languages, cultures and spectacle. In the words of Analog magazine, "He may yet give us the greatest science fiction novel of all time."Forty years on, the series has come to life again, with additional novels, revised editions and new introductions and ancillary materials. Somtow's far-flung galactic civilization is a creation to rival Silverberg's Majipoor or Herbert's Dune. It is a universe with its own language and exotic customs, vividly etched characters and rich history that spans thousands of worlds and tens of thousands of years.The godlike Inquestors of the High Inquest had forsaken all that made them human. But one young Inquestor rediscovered the power of compassion and hastened the end of their ancient, starflung empire...."In a prose that evokes the spirited imagination of thesymbolist painters and poets, Somtow postulates a complex universe of immense scope ... upholds the author's place as one of SF's formidable talents."- Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: The majestic conclusion of the original Inquestor Series, S.P. Somtow's classic masterpiece of the fall of a galactic empire, returns in a new edition in time for the publication of new novels in the series. What is it like to rule over a million worlds, to uphold a civilization that has not changed in twenty thousand years? Haunted by the spirit of a sentient star. in the grip of the Throne of Madness, Kelver has tried to lead a revolution - but has godhood corrupted him? Published for the first time with Theodore Sturgeon's specially written introduction, this edition of The Darkling Wind completes the reissue in new paper, hardcover and digital editions of an iconic series which is now growing in breadth as a second trilogy emerges in the twenty-first century. In the long dark age that followed, the High Inquest would be remembered as a golden age. For the Inquestors had harnessed the unfathomable power of the heart of stars, sailing the overcosm in their delphinoid ships and tachyon bubbles to dance on the faces of suns. But the Inquest had its darker side as well. For these beings played a ruthless game with billions of lives, snuffing out worlds as chessplayers take pawns. Waging an unending war on the false utopias that tempt mankind, they sought to free humanity by enslaving it. At last, after countless centuries, the Inquest was torn apart. This is the story of the fall of that great empire, and of the rebel Inquestor who hastened its end.
