I curse you, Quint, the apprentice! You, and all your kind! You think you're safe ... but I can smell your fear. I curse you all! And I shall find you and deal with you — as I shall find and deal with all those other weaklings out there in the world." —The Gloamglozer [1] Clash of the Sky Galleons: first published in 2006, it is the ninth volume of chronicles and the third of the Quint Saga trilogy; within the stories' own chronology it is the third novel.

Bungus stayed behind to stave off the creature, while Maris ran to the laboratory. She revived Quint and they returned to find that Bungus gave his life to trap the Blood-Red Glister inside its lair.

It turns out the Most High Academe has been experimenting with a very dangerous science indeed: the creation of life. This is clearly shown to be divine work, beyond the reach of mortals. The marvelous work of glisters, seedlings of life, being blown in from over the Edge, meeting with the Mother Storm, and becoming life -- this is nothing that can be recreated in a laboratory, as the ancient scholars found out. They left a chilling testament to this in the records, but Linius assumes he can avoid their mistakes; his pride goes before his fall. So what he creates, though seemingly useful and tame, is revealed to be foolish dabbling in something deadly. You can't control the evil you create. Riddell, Paul Stewart, Chris.

This is a divided Sanctaphrax, with Sky-scholars in control and Earth-scholars in disregard. The Most High Academe, Linius, desires peace and cooperation between the factions, which makes him unpopular. Whispers, lies, plotting and intrigue fill every corner in the city.

In German, the gloamglozer is called 'Schleimschmeichler'. Not only does this sound rather unpleasant but it literally translates to 'Slimy Flatterer' [5]. Moreover, the German verb 'schleimen' not only means 'to crawl' but figuratively, 'schleimen' also means 'to brown-nose one's way to the top'.

The original Gloamglozer was one of many ancient demons which roamed the Deepwoods. The other demons perished when the Mother Storm first seeded the edge with life, but the Gloamglozer survived because it could disguise itself and deceive the unwary. Later, during the Time of Enlightenment, the Gloamglozer faded away to nothing, banished by the wisdom of Kobold the Wise. That brings us to the evil itself: the monstrous Gloamglozer. Considered an ancient myth by virtually everyone, the horrific being actually comes to life through the efforts of Linius , and is inadvertently released by Quint in his efforts to save Linius. The Gloamglozer feeds off fear and pain, thus it seeks to perpetuate all kinds of evil and misfortune wherever it goes. This is truly a terrifying consequence to playing God, and a good reminder that we can do nothing good on our own. It's also a pretty accurate representation of the evil that abounds in our world; it's necessary to know that "our enemy the devil walks about as a roaring lion, seeing whom he may devour."

This is a light-hearted adventure story which shows some wonderful moments between young friends and enemies. I think there were some very wonderful teaching moments (as this is a children's book) but equally it was a very fun read and the moments of investigation and mystery were both exciting and intriguing. While it did not appear during the Rook Trilogy, it had such a fearsome reputation that the zealous Guardians of Night used its face as their symbol. Rook Barkwater believed that he could see it while wandering through the Edgelands, but this was probably a hallucination. Maris en Kwint gaan op onderzoek uit in de raat en gaan proberen de hoge wetenschapper te helpen. Wat volgt is een spannend stuk in de gevaarlijke grotten onder de stad. The Edge is a basically an entire world on this massive cliff. The Deepwoods (where Twig's story begins) is more inland, and towards the edge of the Edge, a massive floating city hangs in the sky: Sanctaphrax, where our story takes place. Meanwhile, the Sub-Dean of the School of Mist, Seftus Leprix, along with a Flat-Head Goblin by the name of Bagswill, were resolving to kill Linius Pallitax, resentful of the fact that his leadership was not increasing the influence of their school. Their attempt to kill Linius by cutting the chain of the low-sky cage had failed, because Quint and Maris were the ones in the cage at the time. In their second attempt, they gave a bottle of poisoned sapwine to Linius Pallitax's butler, Tweezel, telling him to give the bottle to his master.a b Middleton, Christopher (4 July 2008).
