The Lost Road and Other Writings by J.R.R. Tolkien, John Howe
As friends and fellow members of the literary circle known as The Inklings,J.R.R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis embarked on a challenge. Lewis was to write on "space-travel" and Tolkien on "time-travel. Lewis' novel, Out of the Silent Planet, became the first book of a science fiction trilogy. Tolkien's unfinished story, "The Lost Road" chronicles the original destruction of Númenor, a pivotal event of the Second Age of Middle-earth.
In this fifth volume of The History of Middle-earth.
Christopher Tolkien traces the history of Middle-earth, bringing the land -its topography and ever-clashing forces- to the state readers recognize from The Lord of the Rings.
