The War of Octung is over, but the War of the R'loth is just beginning. Avery and his ragged band are on an island just recovering from the war when the R'loth strike a devastating blow, leveling the capital city and laying waste to the island. Avery and the others flee, only to be captured by mutant pirates who worship the R'loth. What is the R'loth's plan, and how can Avery's group hope to combat it? The terrible wrath of the gods of the deep is sweeping the world, and within weeks the entire planet will succumb . . . unless Avery and his friends can stop them. But it won't be easy. Pirates, giant starfish, infested jungles, sinister cultists, spies, and awful, otherworldly gods stand in their way, and that's just for a start. Volume Three as a print book corresponds to the Omnibus of Volumes Six, Seven and Eight of the Kindle books -- in other words, the third omnibus. The author originally wrote this section of the story together and recommends the omnibus versions as the optimum way to read the series.
