Аннотация

As the war between Earth and Mars heats up, threatening the potential destruction of both parties, Alex Smith and his Martian friend, Big Guy, are caught right in the middle–between the humans and the aliens, between various factions of their own people, between the inherent difficulty of establishing communication between two such dissimilar intelligences. Unless Alex can find some way of bridging the gulf between the worlds, both sides will be left vulnerable to the threat posed by a third, much more dangerous alien race that's targeting both worlds. The stunning conclusion to the War of Two Worlds Trilogy!

Аннотация

Twelve years after the events of Invasion!, Earth prepares to retaliate by mounting an expedition against the Martians. With great difficulty, our Space Force establishes bases on the two Martian moons, and also on the surface of the Red Planet. But a series of firefights demonstrate that the aliens hold the upper hand, and that communication between the species is the only thing that will keep our bases from being exterminated. Alex Smith once again must step forward, and offer himself as part-prisoner, guest, interpreter, guinea pig, negotiator, and–ultimately–the last, best hope of mankind. But finding any consistent and understandable method of communication with a truly alien race is almost impossible. Can the gulf be breached in time? War of Two Worlds, Book Two.

In the not-quite-Earth of Nova Europa, east is fighting west, in a war of politics, culture, and religion. The King of Korynthia has assembled an army to invest neighboring Pommerelia. Initially, everything seems to favor the invaders–save for the continuing unexplained murders of high-level Korynthia officials. Some malevolent force is at work, driving the combatants forward, driving them toward the climactic battle of Killingford. And there everything–or nothing–will be decided! Dr. Michael R. Collings says: «Within the course of a single year, Kings and Kingdoms rise and fall, hopes and ambitions are fulfilled and destroyed. Robert Reginald's The Hieromonk's Tale trilogy is a magnificent medieval triptych featuring exquisitely drawn scenes of heroism and treachery, of domesticity and warfare, of greatness and madness.» The Hieromonk's Tale, Book Two.

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.
