Summary: You wish you could invide them over for lunch!
Comment: OK. You pick up a book.
You open it.
The first sentence is:
"The worst thing about knowing Gary was dead was seeing him every day at work."
You want to know a little bit more, don't ya?
Of course you have to read the Silent Tower first, but you won't be bored.
Barbara Hambly is an excellent writer; she creates these Technicolor characters. They're priceless, detailed, 3-D and believable; I'd love to invite them over for lunch. (Especially Antryg; he's a corker. I can just see him waving his fork and expounding on turtle shells and Unreal Tournament and the Punic Wars and pretty much everything. I'd listen until my ears fell off.)
In general, this is an exciting espionage-ish book; they're wrecked, lost, captured, escaped, imprisoned, etcetera--you certainly won't be bored. It's a complex, highly plotted book, with lots of twists and surprises. She creates some very Lovecraftian monsters as well, so you can get some exercize by letting your flesh crawl. And you *have* to meet NineTenTwo, who looks like an H.R. Giger Alien but talks like a cardigan-wearing physics prof.

Summary: A Great Story! DON'T MISS!
Comment: Oh, this is bad. Joanna has betrayed Antryg to torture, imprisonment, and horrific torment - and she's back in Los Angeles, a universe away and unable to help him. Gary, possessed by the dark mage, can open the void for her to cross and rescue Antryg - if she can follow.
What would YOU take with you if you were charging off to another world with the grand agenda of saving Antryg and stopping Suraklin from plunging both worlds into horrible, hopeless greyness forever to fuel his bid for immortality, once again constantly trying to evade capture, avoid monsters, and keep track of all the players?
This truly excellent novel wraps up the story begun in The Silent Tower. Never predictable, the tale is taut from start to finish as Joanna, Antryg, and a few surprising allies fight the good fight against staggering odds. It doesn't seem possible that they could win.
And what would it mean if they did?
Buy this book!

Summary: A slight correction to the description
Comment: The heroine does NOT have a worn computer disk. She has a worm program on a disk. This is important in the story.
My daughter and I love this book. Between us, we've gone through at least five paperback copies. The cover art for the paperback is absolutely fabulous and appropriate, too.
