Thunderer is a warship that hangs above the city as a reminder of the power of The Bird, it features prominently in the first book.
A boy leaping from building to building following The Bird as it sweeps over the City finds that the Bird's power of flight is imbued in him. Arjun, a traveler from a far off land, has come to the City to find his God,a sound that his people (The Chorusmen) have dedicated their lives to emulating and projecting, but now has retreated from his people. Arjun was the last to hear it. The City itself has no borders and is constantly changing and being reshaped by Gods that roam the streets freely. At the center (edge? far side?) of the city is a mysterious Mountain that no one seems to be able to pinpoint the exact location of. Arjun is set on a path that spans the lifespan of the City and learns to travel through "doors" that are passages to times in the past present and future of the city. In doing so, Arjun releases a dark presence into the world. And it hunts him. :) On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 11:22 AM, Jerry Barnes <[email protected]> wrote: > > "LOVED THEM!
