His Dark Materials III.
The Amber Spyglass forms the third and concluding volume of Philip Pullman’s masterpiece, the His Dark Materials trilogy, which was begun by Northern Lights and continued in The Subtle Knife.
Lyra and Will, the ordinary children who were left in such extraordinary danger at the end of Book Two, find themselves in the final part of the story facing even greater perils. But there are old friends who come to their aid, not least Iorek Byrnison, the armoured bear, and the scientist Dr Mary Malone. There are new allies: the Gallivespians, hand-high dragonfly riders with poison spurs, and the mulefa, strange wheeled creatures with the power to see Dust. And there are new dangers, including a journey to the worst world of all - a journey that exerts a terrible cost on both children.
But they will not be children for much longer. And as they come to the end of their childhood, not only are they vulnerable to the Spectres, those shimmering destroyers of adults’ daemons, but they have to face, without knowing it, the challenge posed by the fate that has been approaching Lyra all her life.
And the survival of everything finally comes to depend on one simple action: one simple response to one simple story.
