The Sinners of Erspia Barrington Bayley

THE SINNERS OF ERSPIA are the inhabitants of a bizarre world, ruled and guided by the hands of Ormazd and Ahriman, twin gods of good and evil. Histrina, a child of Ormazd, is taken by the evil hordes to a camp of terror where she meets Laedo, a man stranded far from home. Together they start on a hallucinatory journey to understand and escape the world that holds them prisoner. This is a novel about the susceptibility of the human mind and how it adapts to the extremes of terror and delight. A novel that could only have escaped from the astounding imagination of Barrington Bayley. 'Bayley is the zen master of modern space opera.' -- Bruce Sterling
