Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

In the shattering climax to Canadian author Bakker's magnificent fantasy saga (after 2005's The Warrior-Prophet), the Holy War army has finally reached the gates of the holy city of Shimeh. The warrior-prophet, Anasûrimbor Kellhus, learns that the Thousandfold Thought, a great "transition rule" that promises to transform the two warring faiths of Inrithism and Fanimry, offers the only way to bring peace to the world of Eärwa and avoid a Second Apocalypse. Amid all the bloodshed and battle, Kellhus continues to respect his friend, the sorcerer Drusas Achamian, despite the conflict that arises when Kellhus takes "the whore Esmenet," hitherto Achamian's woman, as his consort. Esmenet's wavering love between the two men lends poignancy and personal depth to an epic story notable for its lack of melodrama. A large and varied supporting cast of heroes and scoundrels add further emotional realism. The Prince of Nothing trilogy is a work of unforgettable power. (Jan.)

Edmonton Journal

'"The Thousandfold Thought" stands as a sterling conclusion to the Prince of Nothing series, a work that sets its author apart as one of the finest fantasists writing today. It is a profound and massive achievement, a work of both narrative and philosophical imaginative sweep.' --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars Prince of Narcissists, Sep 10 2007

By	Mike Perschon (Edmonton) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Thousandfold Thought (The Prince of Nothing, Book 3) (Paperback)

R. Scott Bakker's third installment in the Prince of Nothing series should have been called "The Thousand Self-Absorbed People", since almost all the characters are literal narcissists, or under the sway of one. While this "realist" approach to the fantasy epic felt fresh in the first two installments, I found the third nigh unreadable due to the preponderance of the character's selfish actions; is anyone besides Achamian pursuing a higher goal here? As for Kellhus, the ostensible protagonist of the series, the unbeatable Messiah motif gets old really fast. It's why Superman doesn't really work once the origin and initial revelation is unpacked. If you can't beat him, there's no tension, and no one cares. If I want Philosophy, I'll take a class. While the first book was incredible and the second really well written, the third is simply beating a dead horse.

3.0 out of 5 stars A well-written series that falls flat in the end..., Feb 6 2009

By	Why Not (Toronto, ON, Can) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Thousandfold Thought (Mass Market Paperback)

I thoroughly enjoyed ploughing through Bakker's trilogy: the characters were strong, interesting and distinctive, the storyline was epic, compelling, intelligent and unique, the writing itself was of good quality...

I was truly looking forward to the end, to seeing how everything turned out for everyone involved! What was Bakker going to do with such a unique story?! How were his fascinating characters going to end up?!

And then ... when the end came near ... nothing but a surprisingly flat disappointment.

I did enjoy the trilogy for the most part - this is a refreshingly unique spin on fantasy, steeped in philosophy, quite original, an enjoyable read - but hopefully if you read the series you'll enjoy the ending (was there an ending?!) more than I did!

5.0 out of 5 stars A triumphant war...yet stained., Oct 21 2008

By	Ali Siddiqui (Mississauga, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Thousandfold Thought (The Prince of Nothing, Book 3) (Paperback)

Scott Bakker, has finally brought the epic trilogy to its end. Through war, strife, heart-ache, numerous betrayals and revelations the characters have finally reached their goal. The Holy City of Shimeh. I loved this book, however, I have to say I was a bit disappointed by the rushed ending. Perhaps Scott was having to deal with a deadline or perhaps not...it maybe that he intends to produce a fourth book as the conclusion really does lend itself for explanation.

All the beloved characters had all of their "tracks" neatly tied but some left me wanting more, especially concerning my favourite character Achamian who is left desolate and alone once again. The ending certainly makes one feel absolute pity for him...I won't spoil it but it is a real heartrending scene. If anything the odd turns in the book are made up for by the awe inspiring Glossary in the back of the Paperback book. It really helps that this time instead of dividing names and places by their factions and allegiances as in the previous two books the glossary for the third is all alphabetical which makes it easier to go through.

I highly recommend this book to fans of Steven Erikson's Malazan books. Because Scott and Steven are going to revolutionize Canadian literature and I can't wait.
