The fourth volume in the epic Spider World series

When the first three volumes in Colin Wilson's Spider World series appeared in the 1980s, they were published internationally to great critical acclaim. But the story was left unfinished -- until now!

The series is set in a future in which humans have lost command of the Earth to giant insects. In The Tower, a young man named Niall, starting from a precarious desert existence, learned to command unsuspected mental powers, forcing the dreaded Spider Lord to an uneasy standoff. In The Delta, Niall learned how and why humans had been dispossessed, and, to his astonishment, found himself unquestioned ruler of the spider's city. In The Magician, a powerful malign being poisons Niall's brother, who can only be saved if Niall can seek out and defeat this magician.

Shadowland is Niall's epic journey to save his brother's life and remove his realm from the dark shadow of the magician. Along the way, as in each of the previous volumes, he acquires a little more of the magical powers that are humanity's unclaimed heritage.

As in preceding volumes, Shadowland challenges outmoded thinking about the nature of time, human consciousness, evolutionary potential, global change, and the equality of species. Colin Wilson combines spellbinding storytelling with daring speculation, as only he can.
