The Second Apocalypse Saga, by R. Scott Bakker. A trilogy of trilogies.
Draws heavily from real world history, myth, theology, philosophy, Tolkien (LOTR), Herbert (DUNE), and Howard (CONAN).
First trilogy is the Prince of Nothing and consists of The Darkness That Comes Before, The Warrior Prophet, and The Thousandfold Thought. Can be read as a standalone trilogy but if it captures your interest it goes deeper.
The second trilogy is called The Aspect Emperor and consists of The Judging Eye, The White-Luck Warrior, and The Unholy Consult ( / The Great Ordeal? ). The third book has been written and submitted to publishers, yet remains unpublished.
The Third Trilogy's name has yet to be announced.
This is currently the only fantasy / sci fi series that can hold my interest and constant anticipation.
