About this product

Product Information

The spellbinding sequel to The Golden Compass , the modern fantasy classic that Entertainment Weekly named an "All-Time Greatest Novel" and Newsweek hailed as a "Top 100 Book of All Time," continues the epic adventure, catapulting readers between worlds, and toward a devastating discovery. Lost in a new world, Lyra finds Will--a boy on the run, a murderer--a worthy and welcome ally. For this is a world where soul-eating Specters stalk the streets and witches share the skies with troops of angels. Each is searching--Lyra for the meaning of Dark Matter, Will for his missing father--but what they find instead is a deadly secret, a knife of untold power. And neither Lyra nor Will suspects how tightly their lives, their loves, their destinies are bound together...until they are split apart.

The mysteries deepen and the wonders grow even more extravagant." -- The Washington Post "Pullman's imagination soars . . .

Devilishly inventive." -- The New York Times Book Review Don't miss Philip Pullman's epic new trilogy set in the world of His Dark Materials! ** THE BOOK OF DUST ** La Belle Sauvage The Secret Commonwealth

I originally received the wrong book with a very similar title from the same author, but this seller took care of things immediately and got me the correct book in the condition advertised.

The seller and I were able to arrange a very easy pick up point, as we reside just a few miles apart in the Las Vegas area. Communication was fast and easy, especially as this was the sellers first direct hand delivery as opposed to putting this Bible into the mail. The Bible appears brand new which is a wonderful surprise. In addition to the Bible purchased, we were blessed with the surprise 'bonus' of some beautiful 3-D printed bookmarks for our family. My sincerest THANK YOU!!!

  • Kept my Interest

    I read in just a few days. Was curious why the church stepped in to ban the movies years ago. While the books are just a story, I appreciate an author who has his eyes open to the way things are when compared to real life. Church goes after people to silence them in book, church silences movies being made in real life...the list goes on. Great book! Definitely recommend. Already passed it on to the next reader.

  • The Subtle Knife

    This is the second in Pullman's His Dark Materials series. It introduces Will from our universe as well as travel between the intermingled universes. He meets Lyra (The Golden Compass) in a universe over run with soul eating Specters and acquires the title tool which enables him to cut through to other universes. Lyra devotes herself to his quest to find Will's long lost father and learns more about her own parents' schemes and the danger she faces. I had first read The Amber Spyglass and found the children so enchanting and the other univeses so imaginatively created thatI wished to encounter them again.

  • Typical 2nd book of trilogy

    I think most trilogies follow a pattern - the first book is usually the best, the second book is usually all over the place, and the third book attemps to wrap it all up. This series is no different; this book is definitely all over the place. But it's still a good adventure. It's really heavily anti-Church in this book though.

  • Great Book!

    When I was a teenager, this book was great. Read in series with the Golden Compass and the Amber spyglass, it is an exciting series. Great for young readers, and older readers alike. :) One of my favorites as a kid for sure!

  • The Subtle Knife

    This is the second book of "His Dark Materials" trilogy by Philip Pullman. I'm reading the whole trilogy. What an imagination! What a trip! Though sometimes billed as a book for children and/or teens, it's equally exciting for adults.
