Return to Otherland--a virtual reality universe where any fantasy can come true--in the second novel in this epic series. In "River of Blue Fire", a group of unlikely heroes that has taken up the challenge of this perilous realm are brought together briefly, only to be thrown into different worlds.

Tad Williams has held more jobs than any sane person should admit to-singing in a band, selling shoes, managing a financial institution, throwing newspapers, and designing military manuals, to name just a few. He also hosted a syndicated radio show for ten years, worked in theater and television production, taught both grade-school and college classes, and worked in multimedia for a major computer firm. He is cofounder of an interactive television company, and is currently writing comic books and film and television scripts as well. Tad and his family live in London and the San Francisco Bay Area.
