About this listen

The second volume in a groundbreaking series from the author of the best-selling Memory, Sorrow and Thorn trilogy.

Otherland is civilisation's most stunning achievement: a private, multidimensional universe built by the greatest minds of the 21st century. But this most exclusive of places is also a jealously guarded secret, created and controlled by the Grail Brotherhood, a private cartel known to a few and made up of the world's most powerful and ruthless individuals.

The purpose of Other is still a mystery. But it may not remain so for long. For a small band of adventurers has penetrated the secrecy that surrounds it and has broken into the amazing worlds with worlds it contains. However, with one among their number determined to ensure that no one lives long enough to reveal the truth about Otherland, an extraordinary quest soon becomes a desperate race against time.

Tad Williams is a mast storyteller. A really good listen overall other than the narrator's appalling Australian accent.

The title says it all. Even if his accents might somewhat lapse now and then, the sheer range and versatility of this guy is astounding. Otherland itself is just one of the greatest stories ever told as far as I can tell at this point. Looking forward to the next one, and glad to know Newburn reads them all.

George Newburn is the man
