Shadowland
Spider World 06
by Colin Wilson
a.b.e-book v3.0

Note from Scanner: Even though the back cover says this is the fourth book, it is
numbered 6 because the first book was originally published in three pieces: The Desert,
The Tower, and The Fortress. It was later released as a single collection entitled The
Tower. Since I scanned all of the books, I numbered them 01-06 to avoid confusion.

Back Cover:

Shadowland: 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.
