Publisher's Summary:
Robert Silverbergs enduring classic about one mans journey to find salvation for a planet on the brink of destruction.
Roum is a city built on seven hills. They say it was a capital of man in one of the earlier cycles. I knew nothing of that, for my guild was Watching, not Remembering.
For a thousand years, mankind has lived under the threat of invasion from an alien race. After the oceans rose and the continents were reshaped, people divided into guildsMusicians, Scribes, Merchants, Clowns, and more. The Watchers wander the earth, scouring the skies for signs of enemies from the stars. But during one Watchers journey to the ancient city of Roum with his companion, a Flier named Avluela, a moment of distraction allows the invaders to advance. When the Watcher finally sounds the alarm, its too late: the star people are poised to conquer all.
And so with the world in turmoil, the Watcher sets out alone for the Hall of the Rememberers, keepers of the past, where humanitys last hope for survival might be hidden.
Nightwings is Robert Silverberg at the top of his form, and when Silverberg is at the top of his form, no one is better. A haunting, evocative look at a crumbling Earth of the far future and a human race struggling to survive amidst the ruins, full of memorable characters and images that will long linger in your memory.George R. R. Martin
