The Warlock Unlocked
Teave selle e-raamatu kohta
A scientist from Earth at heart, Rod Gallowglass has come to terms with the “magic” of the medieval lost colony planet of Gramarye, and is just beginning to understand his own powers.
But when his enemies lure his family through a portal into what appears to be an alternate universe, he must follow them into a world where magic really does seem to work and where the laws of the universe seem to have been rewritten.
Reluctantly drawn into a dynastic conflict, hunted by monsters both faery and human, can Rod and his wife Gwen keep their children free and safe, let alone find a way back to their home world of Gramarye?
Bringing his renowned blend of science fiction and fantasy back to the world of Gramarye, Christopher Stasheff once again redefines what is real and what is “magic.”

Christopher Stasheff (1943-2018) always had difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality and tried to compensate by teaching college. When teaching proved too real, he gave it up in favor of writing full time. He tended to pre-script his life, but couldn't understand why other people never got their lines right. This caused a fair amount of misunderstanding with his wife and four children. He wrote novels because it was the only way he could be the director, the designer, and all the actors too.
One of the pioneers of "science fantasy," Christopher Stasheff's career spans four decades, 44 novels (including translations into Czech, German, Italian, Russian, and Japanese), 29 short stories, and seven anthologies. His novels are famous for their humor (and bad puns), exploration of comparative political systems, and philosophical undertones.
