Delightful Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 7 minutes ago, Alfa said: The Way of Kings? (Talking about Dalinar and Nohadon) I was thinking that too but so far as we know Dalinar sees the past not the future.....unless Nohadons future counts.

Alfa Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 With time-travel such things as past and future turn even more subjective as they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle of the Forest Path Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 It's not the Dark Tower. And The Way of Kings was a red herring, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't happen to be Darren Shan's Cirque du Freak series, would it? (AKA The Saga of Darren Shan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle of the Forest Path Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 It happens not to be that. How about another hint, then? If all goes according to plan, it's only a thousand years till the next golden age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle of the Forest Path Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) Umm... no. Another hint then: Technology masquerading as religion. Conquest masquerading as trade. PS: it's been nearly a week, so if no-one gets it with this clue I'll move on to another story. PPS: it's a sci-fi story, so when I said "world" it actually meant "galaxy", but I thought using that straight out would have made it too easy.

Eagle of the Forest Path Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Sorry, it's still not in there. I was actually trying to describe Foundation by Isaac Asimov.
