The
Amber Spyglass brings the intrigue of The
Golden Compass and The
Subtle Knife to a heartstopping close, marking the third and final volume
as the most powerful of the trilogy. Along with the return of Lyra, Will,
Mrs. Coulter, Lord Asriel, Dr. Mary Malone, and Iorek Byrnison the armored
bear, The Amber Spyglass introduces a host of new characters: the Mulefa,
mysterious wheeled creatures with the power to see Dust; Gallivespian Lord
Roke, a hand-high spy-master to Lord Asriel; and Metatron, a fierce and mighty
angel.
This final volume brings startling revelations, too: the painful price Lyra
must pay to walk through the land of the dead, the haunting power of Dr. Malone's
amber spyglass, and the names of who will live - and who will die - for love.
And all the while, war rages with the Kingdom of Heaven, a brutal battle that
- in its shocking outcome - will reveal the secret of Dust.
"Pullman [is] a big deal, and so is this final volume of the 'His Dark Materials'
trilogy." - Newsweek
