Book description
"Help me!" With these simple words is triggered an
awe-inspiring, jaw-dropping jaunt through the multiverses that comprise
the cosmos of Morpheus, Scanner Prime to Her Puissant and Sublime
Majesty, Queen Eveteria of Korynthia in Nova Europa. Faced with the
inevitable consequences of his prescient visions of doom and collapse,
not only for his own country, but for all of the civilized world,
Morpheus must attempt the impossible: to somehow rescue the greater
whole and restore stability to the cosmos by finding and saving a single
prisoner hidden in an impenetrable cell somewhere on one of the infinity
of alternate earths in the six known circles of the Otherworlds.
Accompanied by his faithful wherret, Scooter, and ultimately by a band
of loyal cutthroats and adventurers, Morpheus prepares to embark on a
quest that will whisk him from world to world. “Reginald tackles this
tale-one of twelve in the massive Nova Europa Sequence-with all of the
energy and imagination and wit that characterizes his best writing.
Every piece of The Cracks in the Æther lends greater depth and
accessibility to the whole. With its two companion novels, The
Pachyderms' Lament and The Fourth Elephant's Egg, The Cracks in the
Æther constitutes a contemporary comic epic in prose, an extravagant
Odyssey to the farthest reaches of the imagination-and then home again
to touch the essentials of the human heart.”-Michael R. Collings.
