Editor’s note American writer, once an engineer, often called the most demanding and rewarding author in science fiction and fantasy. The Book of the New Sun is narrated by Severian, a torturer exiled for an act of mercy, who crosses a far-future Earth under a dying sun that looks almost medieval; he claims to forget nothing, yet cannot be fully trusted. Dense, allusive and built for rereading. The first book is the most read and the lowest rated; The Sword of the Lictor rates highest. Read in order.
