The Madman on the Rocks: A Forgotten Gods Tale #2: A Forgotten Gods Tale #5 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781957326023)

Deep in the deserts a storm brews. The whirlwind has come to An'kuruku under the guise of false freedom. A Prophet has arisen. He is the voice for change, rebellion, and liberation from the Conclave. People flock to his call, all eager to hear his vision for the future. It is a downward spiral from which they cannot escape.

The return of the Three has caused great carnage as their eternal battle for the soul of the universe continues. Beleaguered, the office of the Inquisitor General deploys Prekhauten Guard units to hunt down heretics and traitors in efforts to stop the coming war before it can begin. Tolde Breed is summoned with an important task. Hunt down and kill the heretic Inquisitor, Ursal Prowl. The quest will take him to the far reaches of the universe, to the hulking space station of Hawker's Gate where destiny awaits. There, together with a team of Prekhauten Guards, Tolde will witness the opening salvos of a conflict greater than any in human history.

Traitors and heroes engage in conflicts across the universe as the Three make their opening moves in what promises to be their last confrontation. The war has begun. Humanity is the prize.
