Descriptions du produit

From Amazon.com

Otherland, the quartet of which Mountain of Black Glass is the powerful third part, combines some terrifying speculation on the future of virtual reality with adventures no less terrifying because they are technologized dreaming. These are dreams the adventurers cannot awaken from and in which, if they die, they are really dead.

An epidemic of comatose children has led Renie and her San friend !Xabbu into the net and to a series of dream worlds created as palaces by the corrupt aspiring immortals, the Grail Brotherhood. Two of those children, Orlando and Fredericks, have become adventurers in their own right, while their parents' lawyer Ramsey follows real-world money and lesbian cop Calliope tracks a serial killer with serious ambitions to become an angry god. In this volume, adventures take place in a mythic ancient Egypt and a rambling Gormenghastlike house before all the virtual adventurers meet where they were always destined to, before the walls of Troy.

"All around, death. It was not a quiet presence during the long day--not a pale-faced maiden bringing surcease from pain, not a skillful reaper with a scalpel-sharp blade.... Death on the Trojan plain was a crazed beast that roared and clawed and smashed, which was everywhere at once, and which in its unending fury showed that even armored men were terribly frail things."

Tad Williams takes the gameworld and turns it on its head, passionately; how do we know that what bleeds does not feel pain? He writes a classic of cyberspace adventure that has a sorrowful heart. --Roz Kaveney, Amazon.co.uk --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.



From Library Journal

Trapped in the exotic virtual simulation known as Otherland, Paul Jonas, Orlando Gardner, and Renie Sulaweyo continue their separate explorations into the heart of the reality that surrounds them. As they confront puzzles and obstacles in re-creations of ancient Egypt and Homeric Greece, they come closer to the black glass mountain that may offer them the key to the mysterious Grail Brotherhood that controls the passages to and from Otherland. Synopses of the previous volumes (City of Golden Shadow; River of Blue Fire) of Williams's ambitious epic provide enough information for newcomers to the series, but the entire story is best read in sequence. Filled with complex plot threads, a wide variety of virtual and "real" characters and vivid descriptions of numerous worlds, this series belongs in most sf collections.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Better and better..., Oct. 4 2003
Each book is better than the last. The more I read, the more I cared about every character. Everytime I thought Williams had exhausted the potential to blow my mind with his 'virtual' universe, he smacks me down again. Couldn't wait to turn the next page. Never a dull moment. So many places, so many great characters, so much plot. Can't believe the amount of enjoyment I got for the price (I bought all the hardcovers). I feel like I ripped Tad off. Sometimes someone writes something so good you're just left feeling grateful and fortunate...

5.0étoiles sur 5 To the Mountain, Janv. 16 2003
This is the slowest of the series so far, but the last section of the novel is worth getting to, and the ending is far from what I expected. I am more intrigued than ever and long to finish the fourth and final volume so that I can discover the answers to all of the mysteries that the author has created. I especially love the Wicked Tribe and the introductions to each chapter which shed light on what is happening in the future Earth culture in which the story is set. Look for a reference to the essay "A Modest Proposal" in a book full of such references. Otherland continues to hypnotize me.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Slow, Slower, Slowest, Janv. 3 2003
Par Un client
I started reading this series a couple of years ago. The first book, and to a lesser extent, the second, held me entranced. The lovely worlds that Tad Williams created were so interesting in the freshness and creativity.

However, in this third volume, the mammoth series begins to sag under its own weight. I put the book down. I just didn't have the energy needed to keep going with it. Now, about a year later, I have picked it up again and carried on.

It is a slow read.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Seemed like well-written filler
The first two absolutely held me in THRALL. I finished them in five days. This one, although well written and still interesting in parts, seems to be drawn out a bit too much. Read more
