Before legally changing his name, Simon Hawke wrote as Nicholas Yermakov. This new edition of FALL INTO DARKNESS is back in print after over 30 years. Novi’kavkaz, an Earth colony, lost contact with its home planet when ships ceased to arrive without explanation. As time passed, the society stagnated, leading to a regression in technological progress over two millennia. By then, even the planet's history had faded, leaving behind remnants of a once-advanced civilization. The few surviving artifacts were mostly inoperative, shrouded in mystery. Novi’kavkaz’s culture had begun to decay long before the machines failed or the ships stopped coming. After two thousand years, society was split into an upper and lower class: the rulers and the ruled. Among them were the Z’kazan, a warrior class serving the indulgent nobility while enforcing order among the working class, bound by a strict code of honor. A significant breach of this code triggers a series of events that alters the destinies of three young A’drei: the conflicted prince who reluctantly faces his royal fate, R’uslahn, the Z’kazan son consumed by an unquenchable thirst for vengeance, and his younger brother M’ikhail, who yearns for elusive peace. Their intertwined fates begin with the casting of a gauntlet.
Will, the fledgling playwright and poet, and Tuck, the would-be actor and rest-of-the-time ostler, have been enjoying their lives on and behind the stage...if only it wasn't for the occasional interruptions: plague, the closing of the theater for reasons of law or finance, and the occasional murder. As luck would have it, the dramatic twosome must once again play detective in a case that involves the fates of those near and dear to their hearts as well as certain hoped-to- have-been--forgotten family members . Christopher Marlowe's The Jew of Malta is all the rage on the London stage, and the young bard wishes to rise to the competition. With companion Tuck at his side, Will makes a sojourn for research purposes into the Elizabethan underworld, where contracts are blood bonds and the quality of mercy is stretched to its very limits. He becomes embroiled in a tangle of unlucky young lovers, anti-Semitism, and rogue justice.
