Otherland - das ist ein virtuelles Universum, ein Ort kühner Träume und schlimmster Nachtmahre. Ein Bund mächtiger Firmenbosse versucht, in diesem System Unsterblichkeit zu erlangen, doch Otherland fordert dafür Opfer ... Nur eine kleine Gruppe Hacker erkennt die Gefahr und versucht sich ihr entgegenzustellen.
Tad Williams is a California-based fantasy superstar. His genre-creating (and genre-busting) books have sold tens of millions worldwide, in twenty-five languages. His considerable output of epic fantasy and science fiction book-series, stories of all kinds, urban fantasy novels, comics, scripts, etc., have strongly influenced a generation of writers: the ‘Otherland’ epic relaunches June 2018 as an MMO on steam.com. Tad is currently immersed in the creation of ‘The Last King of Osten Ard’, planned as a trilogy with two intermediary novels. He, his family and his animals live in the Santa Cruz mountains in a suitably strange and beautiful house. @tadwilliams @mrstad
the story itself is quite good, with some amazing settings that are brilliantly described. All of this is to the credit of Tad Williams, yet the flip side of this is the narrator... I found listening to this to be a thoroughly painful experience, and ended up feeling a sizable degree of contempt and annoyance for certain lead and support characters because of the narrator.
