The Last Philosopher is a satirical high-fantasy story with heavy-handed attempts at humour. It revolves around the world of Huom and some of its quirkier inhabitants. It's the first book under the subtitle, Nothing is Everything. Before everything, it's assumed there was nothing, but what if there was no real difference between the two? Just two extreme philosophies from the first conflict.The planet Huom has been under observation for longer than should technically be possible. The primary watcher, a bitter black hole, is excited to see that there is finally a proverbial Darkness at the end of the tunnel.Meanwhile, on the planet, in the freezing mountains of Empris, Lyeasrakardsul, the oldest living sorcerer, suffers from devastating nightmares. At the same time, far away in the sandstone desert of Zenon, Herschel, a man filled to the brim with weird ideas, is escaping a prison filled with strange old men.What does all this have to do with arsehole Gods, hairy Dwarfs, frustrated Afreets, curious Knomes, lizard-women, and nude Áettar? Perhaps Nothing, perhaps Everything… but why can't it be both? Aspiring fantasy author and geek, retired due to a bunch of chronic illnesses.The Last Philosopher is my first book under the subtitle, Nothing is Everything.It's been called imaginative, funny, and unique. People have even gone so far as to compare it to Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett.My response to that comparison, is to go hide under the covers for a week with embarrassment. Nothing is Everything is the subtitle of the series of books by Nick East.
