edited by Brian Sibley and
Christopher Tolkien and
features illustrations by Alan
Lee.

Sibley drew upon the Appendices of Tolkien's Lord of the
Rings book series and other works to tell the story of the
foundations of Númenor, the forging of the Rings, and the
Last Alliance against Sauron that ended the Second Age.

"Since the first publication of The Silmarillion forty-five
years ago, I have passionately followed Christopher
Tolkien's meticulous curation and scholarship in publishing
a formidable history of his father's writings on Middle-
earth. I am honored to be adding to that authoritative
library with The Fall of Númenor," Sibley said.

"I hope that, in drawing together many of the threads
from the tales of the Second Age into a single work, readers
will discover -- or rediscover -- the rich tapestry of
characters and events that are a prelude to the drama of
the War of the Ring as is told in The Lord of the Rings," he
added.

Sibley said in a statement to The Tolkien Society that it
was a "great honor" to work on the book.

"I hope that this opportunity to read, as a single
narrative, an account of those years, will provide a new
appreciation of how the monumental events of the Second
Age were to impact on those told in The Lord of the
Rings," he added. The Fall of Númenor coincides with
Amazon's Lord of the Rings series, The Lord of the Rings:
The Rings of Power. The series takes place in the Second
Age and will premiere Sept. 2 on Prime Video.
