I highly recommend this novel and all others by him. But how do you fight magic, if you have no magic? How can you get home, if you have no home? HERE'S ONE READER'S REACTION TO SINNABAR - "I'm loving this author and can't wait to read another story-Five Stars." A SECOND READER'S EVALUATION - Outstanding performance!! As a 38-year veteran writing\literature instructor, I could not help but rate this novel highly! The parallel realms come to life as if I were in the theater! Author has uncanny ability to write fantasy fiction that boarders so close to reality. These three enslaved youths struggle to be free. They didn't come here alone-a small dog slipped along. They will be used as human batteries, drained until they die. They're all foster-care youths, so nobody will miss them. Tom Fox and his two fellow abductees were taken for their talents. Brigands crisscross the red deserts, riding lizards. Ice-eyed wizards rule here, backed by a killer army. Sinnabar is a dying world, choking on its own magical red dust. Two others are taken with him-an angry Goth girl, from San Francisco, and an Ohio science prodigy. Tom Fox, a New Jersey juvenile delinquent, is abducted to Sinnabar. If you're youths from Earth, taken here, it's especially harsh, because you're alone, far from all you know. If you're enslaved here, you can only escape into city slums, ruled by killer gangs, or out onto the red deserts, where you'll starve, if the brigands don't get you.
