Another excerpt from Scott Bakker's GREAT ORDEAL

A second excerpt from Scott Bakker's The Great Ordeal has been released, this time via Pat's Fantasy Hotlist.

This excerpt catches up with Drusas Achamian and Mimara as they approach Ishual, the fortress-home of the Dunyain and the birthplace of Ansurimbor Kellhus. This is a pretty revelatory excerpt (the Dune influences can be seen here as well), ending on one hell of a cliffhanger.

The Great Ordeal will be released on 5 July in the US and 29 September in the UK.
