The Gap Cycle

Stephen R. Donaldson

5 books

The Gap Cycle is one of science fiction's most unflinching space operas — a brutal, morally complex saga of humanity's conflict with an alien race called the Amnion, told through characters who are alternately victims and perpetrators of shocking violence. Donaldson deliberately inverts reader sympathy, forcing you to inhabit the perspectives of people doing terrible things for comprehensible reasons. It is difficult, demanding, and extraordinary.
