I loved this book! - By: Kurt A. Johnson, 20 Sep 2005
In this sequel to Out of This World, Pellinore Brown returns from the universe of the Galactic Empire to the world of Faerie, which is his only possible way back to Earth. But, when his group comes under attack by the forces of Shadow, Pel quickly realizes that the only way he will get home is over the Shadow's dead body. And so, with his mixed bag of wizards & swordsmen, spacemen & mutants, & homesick earthlings, he is off to Shadow's stronghold. But, what he finds there will surprise him...and some surprises are nasty indeed!

I must start out by saying that I am a big fan of Lawrence Watt-Evans, & am enthrallled by his Three Worlds series. I have enjoyed the way that the author constructed his three universes, & then wove them together. Like the first book, this one lulls you into thinking it's a fun little children's story, but before you know it the author turns up the heat & the story becomes quite serious indeed. If you are put off by stories that include death & dismemberment, then you will dislike this book.

But, as for me, I loved this book! I absolutely love the setting, I found the story to be engaging, & the characters enjoyable. I can't wait to get the next book in the series, & see how it alll turns out. This is a great book, by a great author, & I recommend them both to you!
