LIGHT A LAST CANDLE is so jam-packed with so many rich ideas, so many new concepts, so many differing cultures, layer on layer, that in the hands of a less terse writer its material might have encomapssed several novels. Here is a world full of strange creatures - some that are offshoots of mankind and others that seem utterly Alien. And some that really are. Here are societies totally primitive, others that live a subterranean life, Mods living a happy, bucolic existence, and something that dwells in a shining, quivering crystal as large as a city. And still more. Through it all runs a thread of excitement and danger that is capped with an ultimate defiance. Welcome, Vincent King!
