"A SKILLFUL, ENJOYABLE BOOK."  - Publishers Weekly

Imagine a world where the clouds are made of crystals that constantly change their beautiful colors.  Where joy is sacred.  Where conjurers fly people from village to village.  Imagine, too, that this world and more exist simultaneously and that it is possible to travel between them...

VIRTUAL MODE

At first, Colene didn't believe the strange man she found lying on the side of the road.  He spoke of a different world filled with wonder, was dressed in clothes she had never seen before, and knew a language she had never heard.  He said that he loved her and wanted to take her back to his home.  Colene suspected Darius was crazy - until he vanished before her eyes.  Well, if falling in love was crazy, Colene was now fully prepared to say goodbye to reality - and hello to an infinite world of dragons and monsters and impossible dreams...

Picked this up - a new series by Piers Anthony.  I've always liked Piers Anthony even though a lot of his books are somewhat young-ish.  He's always got good ideas.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
