The Amber Spyglass: His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman

***** Includes a preview of THE BOOK OF DUST, the long-awaited new novel from Philip Pullman set in the world of His Dark Materials, and hailed by the New York Times as "a stunning achievement."*****


The unforgettable His Dark Materials trilogy that began with The Golden Compass-the modern fantasy classic that Entertainment Weekly named an "All-Time Greatest Novel" and Newsweek hailed as a "Top 100 Book of All Time"-and continued with The Subtle Knife, reaches its astonishing conclusion in The Amber Spyglass.

Throughout
the worlds, the forces of both heaven and hell are mustering to take
part in Lord Asriel's audacious rebellion. Each player in this epic
drama has a role to play-and a sacrifice to make. Witches, angels,
spies, assassins, tempters, and pretenders, no one will remain
unscathed.

Lyra and Will have the most dangerous task of all.
They must journey to a gray-lit world where no living soul has ever gone
and from which there is no escape.

As war rages and Dust drains
from the sky, the fate of the living-and the dead-comes to depend on
Lyra and Will. On the choices they make in love, and for love,
forevermore.
