The New Shadow - LoTR sequel (napusten)

[Idhrenion]

The story starts in Gondor with Borlas. This created a problem with timing because the book is during the reign of Eldarion, making Borlas around 200 years old.

Borlas becomes concerned with a secret society formed among the boys of Gondor. They have taken to dressing up like Orcs and doing Orcish things such as cutting down trees with no reason. There are also rumors about a man called Herumor, which is Quenya for "Dark Lord", the leader of the cult. Tolkien called it a Satanic cult, so it was presumably a revival of the worship of Morgoth, Sauron, or both.

The story continues to a point where Borlas receives an invitation from Saelon, a young man his son grew up with, to attend a secret meeting. The meeting is presumably with the cult, though it's unknown whether Saelon is a member or wants help to destroy it.
Prica je otprilike vek od krunisanja Aragorna...
Nasao sam ovo na netu i malo me zainteresovalo... sta vi mislite??

Dobro je što ovo nije napisano, ne vidim svrhu ovakve priče osim da pokaže kako su prethodna doba bila super, awesome & cool, a "Neprijatelji" stvarno zajebani i opasni. Ceo zaplet sa kultom iz današnje perspektive deluje kilavo, a i previše rišćanski čak i za Tolkina.

Herumor, shrumor , humor

Posle Saurona svi ostali su sitne zverke, cak i da je jedan od utvara prstena uspeo da vaskrsne, a ne bi bas mogao, a i kad bi - onda bi jedino Tolkin na to imao pravo da ucini. Zapravo ne znam ko uopste ima pravo da pise nastavke LOTR ili bilo kakvu pricu iz srednje zemlje ili van nje?
Cak se ni Kristof na to nije usudjivao.

Ma koliko prizeljkivali nesto novo iz tolkinovog univerzuma ovakvi "nastavci" ne mogu nikad biti dovoljno dobri.
Vise bi np. imalo smisla da se napise neka prica iz istorije SZ, nego da se nastavlja, mada takvih nezvanicnih prica ima dosta.
Ipak, mislim da bi kupio knjigu da tako nesto izadje.
