Otherland, a complete universe co-existent with the real world, incorporates elements of the Arabian Nights, the Alice and Oz books, the Neanderthal Age, the Trojan War, rewritten Roman history (Hannibal returns three centuries after his death to crush Rome, without elephants), as well as numerous nursery rhymes and fables. An enormous cast of courageous humans confronts monstrous insects, unimaginable dangers and all the appurtenances of fantastic adventure. At nearly 700 pages this is a mighty mouthful to swallow, but a well-crafted if convoluted plot sustains interest through the lengthy climax, which explains the inexplicable. 1629048 2001 Sea of Silver Light (Otherland, #4) total:1467|5:31|4:27|3:11|2:6|1:1| 1467 5883 1922 50 10092 0641645473 9780641645471 1211 39 4.01 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166113984m/10092.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10092.Sea_of_Silver_Light 5 2 false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 05 20:18:11 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 17 15:32:03 -0700 2008 more...]]> 481866 0756400309 9780756400309 149 6 4.01 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175119377m/481866.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/481866.Sea_of_Silver_Light 4 1 false Wed Mar 28 15:03:01 -0700 2007 Wed Mar 28 15:03:23 -0700 2007 Favorite Quotes
