Neq the Sword
-is th?e third book of a trilogy
by Piers Anthony

An age of darkness was descending upon the Empire. Soon there would be no food, no weapons and no honour - the laws of the nomads were forgotten in the struggle to survive.

Neq was the greatest of warriors. No man faced his sword without feeling the sting. Yet even he could not save the Empire alone, he needed the help of those who had begun its destructions... the great leaders who had thought only of war. And so Neq travelled many dangerous miles to find them, knowing that upon his journey rested the future of the world...

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
