Description

They Thought They Knew How The Universes Worked-THEY WERE WRONG In the almost two centuries since the discovery of the first inter-universal portal, Arcana has explored scores of other worlds . . . all of them duplicates of their own. Multiple Earths, virgin planets with a twist, because the "explorers" already know where to find all of their vast, untapped natural resources. Worlds beyond worlds, effectively infinite living space and mineral wealth. And in all that time, they have never encountered another intelligent species. No cities, no vast empires, no civilizations and no equivalent of their own dragons, gryphons, spells, and wizards.But all of that is about to change. It seems there is intelligent life elsewhere in the multiverse. Other human intelligent life, with terrifying new weapons and powers of the mind . . . and wizards who go by the strange title of "scientist." At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

    This has got to be one of the slowest, most painful starts to any book I’ve read in a long, long time. If you are a fan of Achingly detailed world-crafting and character backgrounds without any reason to care for any of the multitude of characters being introduced, this book might be for you. Have fun. I stopped reading when the two sides finally made contact and I felt like I should have been taking notes to clarify who was who. I put it down and don’t see myself picking it up again.
