Come back to the Named Lands in this compelling sequel to Ken Scholes amazing novel Lamentation.
It is nine months after the end of the previous book. Many noble allies have come to the Ninefold Forest for a Feast in honor of General Rudolfo's first-born child. Jin Li Tam, his wife and mother of his heir, lies in childbed.
As the feast begins, the doors of the hall fly open and invisible assassins begin attacking. All of Rudolfo's noble guests are slain, including Hanric, the Marsh Queen's Shadow. And on the Keeper's Gate, which guards the Named Lands from the Churning Waste, a strange figure appears, with a message for Petronus, the Hidden Pope.
Thus begins the second movement of The Psalms of Isaak, Canticle.

      In this sequel to LAMENTATION, the Named Lands are ravaged by political unrest and may be nearing total collapse. General Rudolfo must find a way to stop the uprisings, but danger lies around every corner. This gifted group of narrators allows the story to breathe more expansively that it might with a single narrator. The direction is a bit unconventional as, in addition to performing assigned characters, each narrator tackles short chunks of the narrative as it relates to his or her character. William Dufris and Scott Brick are particularly strong at reading narrative, while Maggie-Meg Reed sounds more comfortable performing in a specific role. Stefan Rudnicki displays his inherent performance ability, diving headlong into character and never looking back. Overall, the production is largely compelling, and the story benefits from the approach. L.B. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine

      Starred review from August 24, 2009
      The sequel to Scholes's stellar debut, 2008's Lamentation
      , ingeniously fuses epic fantasy and postapocalyptic science fiction. Magicked assassins kill numerous leaders from across the Named Lands and send the region into economic and political turmoil. Amid the chaos, Jin Li Tam gives birth to General Rudolfo's son, sickly Jakob. As Rudolfo sets out in search of a cure, young Marsh Queen Winters ascends the throne of her people only to realize her past has been an elaborate lie; former Androfrancine Pope Petronus risks his life to bring some semblance of peace to the realm; and Nebios ben Hebda uncovers bombshell revelations regarding the Order's “metal men” and the history of the Old World. Abounding in prophecy, myth and mystery, this grand-scale saga is a towering storytelling tour de force.
