A Sequel to Oblivion?

That's right people. There's actually a novel (not a video game, sorry to disappoint) that's actually a direct sequel to Oblivion. It's called The Infernal City...


...and it's written by Greg Keyes. Now, it's hard for me to explain the exact plot, so I'll let the synopsis on the back of the book explain it all.

"Four decades after the Oblivion Crisis, Tamriel is threatened anew by an ancient and all-consuming evil. It is Umbriel, a floating city that casts a terrifying shadow–for wherever it falls, people die and rise again.

And it is in Umbriel’s shadow that a great adventure begins, and a group of unlikely heroes meet. A legendary prince with a secret. A spy on the trail of a vast conspiracy. A mage obsessed with his desire for revenge. And Annaig, a young girl in whose hands the fate of Tamriel may rest…." (Cover Art & Synopsis)

Now for those of you that didn't know. Oblivion was one of the best selling and amazingly detailed RPG's (Role Playing Game) of all time. It was released on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, and had two additional expansions (The knights of the nine and Shivering Isles). This game here is not only one of the best RPG's I've ever played, but most definitely one of my favorite and one of the most well designed and interactive.

Up to know I've read about two chapters of the book and it definitely does not disappoint. Just in case it didn't mention above the story takes place four decades after Oblivion, and for something original it's quite amazing. I can't wait until the second book comes out, but for now I think I'm going to relax and read this.
