In "Otherland", City of Golden Shadows, the Master of Fantasy Tad Williams opens a fascinating and dangerous world of imagination where every adventure, every nightmare, and every wish can become reality. In the second volume of "Otherland", River of Blue Fire, a small group of desperate individuals has managed to actually penetrate Otherland. And that's when the trap snaps shut. They are trapped, unable to return to their flesh-and-blood bodies in the real world. Coincidences and perilous adventures tear the group apart. Their only hope is the river. The River of Blue Fire that flows through all the virtual worlds of Otherland.
