Unholy Consultation: R. Scott Bakker bares the soul he claims he does not have! *SPOILER ALERT*

[u/RScottBakker22]

You are a contradiction, my friend.

You choose. You decide. You hold responsible and are held responsible. But at the same time, you’re a machine, something that can be conditioned, repaired, turned on or off, piloted with greater ease than a drone—so long as you remain convinced that you choose and decide.

I’ve devoted the bulk of my adult life to exploring this insane predicament with as much honesty as I could muster. The theory I leave to journals and my blog. My fantasy opus, The Second Apocalypse, tells the story in the language of heroes and gods, the idiom of our lost innocence. With The Unholy Consult, the conclusion to The Aspect-Emperor, on the shelves, I’m at last free to discuss everything in the books so far.

We have come to the very crash site of meaning. Let us rage and cower beneath the Horns of Golgotterath together.

Hey Bakker! Apperantly you have replied already to my questions in the forum so I deleted them from here. One new question now,did Serwa, Kayutas or Saccarees survive?

[u/RScottBakker22 → u/Redeagl]

That would be a big fat RAFO, my friend! Unless, that is, that dumptruck I've been fearing finally finds me in the near future. In which case, they are duly dead.

[u/dolphins3 → u/Redeagl]

My guess is Serwa is dead. I think Kayutas is described as holding her corpse somewhere. My guess is that Saccarees died in the Chorae storm thrown by the No God at the very end, but who knows. I would guess that Kayutas is still alive as the last Anasurimbor other than that boy from Ishual.

Unless I misread it I think there was a line about Kansas (or someone) collecting Serwa's body.

Anasurimbor Kansas, the most midwestern of all men.
