Now, in \u003ci\u003eThe Last Guardian of Everness\u003c\/i\u003e, this exciting and innovative writer proves that his talents extend beyond SF, as he offers us a powerful novel of high fantasy set in the modern age. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYoung Galen Waylock is the last watchman of the dream-gate beyond which ancient evils wait, hungry for the human world.  For a thousand years, Galen's family stood guard, scorned by a world which dismissed the danger as myth. Now, the minions of Darkness stir in the deep, and the long, long watch is over. Galen's patient loyalty seems vindicated.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat loyalty is misplaced. The so-called Power of Light is hostile to modern ideas of human dignity and liberty. No matter who wins the final war between darkness and light, mankind is doomed either to a benevolent dictatorship or a malevolent one. And so Galen makes a third choice: the sleeping Champions of Light are left to sleep. Galen and his companions take the forbidden fairy-weapons themselves. Treason, murder, and disaster follow. The mortals must face the rising Darkness alone. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn ambitious and beautifully written story, \u003ci\u003eThe Last Guardian of Everness\u003c\/i\u003e is an heroic adventure that establishes John Wright as a significant new fantasist.
