Hey there, fellow travelers! I’ve got some exciting news: my new book Tolkien’s Tragedy: Concerning Númenor, The Rings of Power, and the Second Age is finally here.This has been years in the making.

Now we’re two seasons in, and I think this book offers insights that are more timely than ever.The full text is almost finished, but I’m still deciding on the best way to publish it. For now, I’m sharing it chapter by chapter over on my new Substack — that’s TolkienRoad.Substack.com. You can read the introduction and first chapter for free, and if you’d like to go deeper, you can get the rest with a Patreon or Substack membership.What you’re about to hear is the introduction to Tolkien’s Tragedy. I can’t wait to share it with you, and I’d love to hear your thoughts.So, head over to TolkienRoad.Substack.com to follow along — and now, let’s dive in!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-road--5222755/support.
