New Sun by Steve Jackson Games

Delve into a civilization built atop the remnants of countless societies spanning millennia. Experience a world where time travel is commonplace, yet time itself is no longer tracked. Navigate a realm where the ordinary, the advanced, and the supernatural coexist - a place where elite classes engage in deadly duels using alien flora. Picture a crossroads in time where two potential futures teeter: one a Golden Age of renewal, the other an eternal winter. The New Sun Awaits. GURPS New Sun delves into the world of Gene Wolfe's acclaimed science fiction masterpiece, 'The Book of the New Sun'. It chronicles the Age of the Autarch, a time unlike any other, filled with both delicate beauty and savage cruelty. Its world of Urth is a blend of technology and sorcery, where swords and lasers share space with clones, concubines, cowboys, Indians, knights, ladies, mechanical beings, and sailing starships. GURPS New Sun also recounts the tale of Severian, a humble journeyman in the Torturers' Guild who ascends to become the central figure in the Age of the Autarch - and in all of time. Throughout, readers will become acquainted with the exotic language and thought patterns that made 'The Book of the New Sun' a science fiction landmark. Tomorrow... Is Today.
