Now in trade paperback, the first book in the classic cyberpunk
fantasy series "Tad Williams is the brightest and best of the
fantasists." Neil Gaiman, author of American Gods Otherland.
Surrounded by secrecy, it is home to the wildest dreams and darkest
nightmares. Incredible amounts of money have been lavished on it.
The best minds of two generations have labored to build it. And
somehow, bit by bit, it is claiming the Earth's most valuable
resource-its children. Only a few have become aware of the danger.
Fewer still are willing or able to take up the challenge of this
perilous and seductive realm. But every age has its heroes, and
unusual times call for unusual champions: Renie Sulaweyo, a teacher
and the backbone of her family, proud of her African heritage, has
fought all her life simply to get by. She has never wanted to be a
hero. But when her young brother is struck down by a bizarre and
mysterious illness, Renie swears to save him. When people around
her begin to die, she realizes she has stumbled onto something she
is not meant to know, a terrifying secret from which there is no
turning back. !Xabbu is a Bushman, come to the city to learn skills
which may save the spirit of his tribe. With the heart of a poet
and the soul of a shaman, he will journey with Renie on this quest
into the very heart of darkness. Paul Jonas is lost, seemingly
adrift in space and time. As he flees from the bloody battlefields
of World War I to a castle in the sky, and onward to lands beyond
imagining, he must not only evade his terrifying pursuers, but
solve the terrible riddle of his own identity. Fourteen-year-old
Orlando is also the invincible barbarian Thargorm, but only in his
imagination. However, youth and frailty are not enough to get you
excused from saving the world. And Mister Sellars, a strange old
man on a military base, a prisoner of both the government and his
own body, may be the greatest mystery of all. Is he part of The
Grail Brotherhood? Does he oppose them? Or, as he sits like a
spider at the center of a vast web, does he have ambitions of his
own? The answers will only be found in Otherland.
