And will the answers help Fetch bring the magic back for good?Working alongside necromancers, genies, and shadowy secret societies, through the wildest forests and dingiest dive bars, this case will leave its mark on Fetch's body, his soul, and the fate of the world.Praise for the Fetch Phillips novels:"Superb... With a lead who would be at home in the pages of a Raymond Chandler or James Ellory novel and a nicely twisty plot, this installment makes a strong case for Arnold's series to enjoy a long run." ―Publishers Weekly"Arnold's universe has everything, including the angst of being human. The perfect story for adult fantasy fans—a tough PI and a murder mystery wrapped around the mysticism of Hogwarts, sprinkled with faerie dust." ―Library Journal (starred review)Fetch Phillips NovelsThe Last Smile in Sunder CityDead Man in a DitchOne Foot in the Fade

This stunning finale to the gigantic Otherland tetralogy (City of Golden Shadow, etc.), a brilliant fusion of quest fantasy and technological SF, is sure to please Williams's many fans. 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.

Product Description When twelve-year-old Jason Hunter and his two friends discover a spaceship buried in the woods behind his home, his world is turned upside down. Suddenly, he is forced to flee the Earth on a desperate mission to rescue his abducted parents and prevent an alien invasion.The journey takes him halfway across the galaxy, where he must confront bizarre and deadly creatures, escape from a toxic region of space called the Vuhndalac Pit, and evade capture by a powerful alien leader intent on destroying him.Hidden somewhere among the stars is an ancient talisman that Jason must find before it is too late. If he is the Heir of Elam, the one person in the entire universe who can claim this talisman, he will be able to rescue his parents and save his planet. If he is not, touching it will be the last thing he ever does! From the Author The Talisman of Elam is my first novel. Although I had written and published short fiction, I had only once before attempted a novel -- and that didn't go so well! It was many years before I was willing to try again, and of course my inspiration for doing so was Harry Potter.My original intention was to write this one story and then move on to something else, but as I got into it, I realized the story was too big for one book. I found I had no choice but to write a trilogy, a pretty daunting undertaking for a first time novelist! But as I got into it, I became more and more excited. First I had to figure out the story arc for the whole trilogy. Then I had to figure out the story lines for each book. Finally, I had to plot the first book in detail before I could start writing.I had to come up with alien worlds, alien names, alien languages and cultures, a history of civilization in the galaxy, and a million other details. That was daunting too, but in fact I don't think I've ever had as much fun. I could be like a kid, just let my imagination go wild, and see where it led. When it came time to actually sit down and write The Talisman of Elam, I could hardly contain myself. I was at the computer early every morning and kept working until late at night. At times it seemed as though the story was writing itself. It only took a few weeks to write the first draft. Then, of course, came the several months of edits and revisions. I re-wrote the first chapter over 100 times before I was satisfied!My plan after finishing the first book was to move on to another project and not write the next one in the trilogy until I saw how well this one was received. I found that impossible to do. The characters had become alive and they wouldn't leave me alone. They pestered me day and night to finish their story, and it was impossible to work on anything else. So I plowed ahead with The Hand of Osiris and, finally, The Treasure of Hathor.With each book, the stakes get higher and the risk to the characters greater. How it all ends may surprise you. Frankly, it surprised me!
