Piper Robbin and the American Oz Maker
by Warwick Gleeson
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Fantasy (Epic)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
WORLD WAR OZ from
coast to coast.
An adult fantasy that
takes one of America's favorite tales and transforms it into a dark and epic
landscape few can escape much less understand. Imagine Potter meets Avengers in
Emerald city and you're getting close.
After a homicidal
alien from Orion arrives on Earth intent on annihilating human life, the 21st
century's greatest sorcerers create a network of seven Oz-like city worlds
designed to harbor the human race in a newly formed utopia while also
protecting it from the alien entity. But the alien is far more magically
powerful than anyone suspected. Piper Robbin, ancient daughter of the Earth's
greatest sorcerer inventor, Edison Godfellow, must sacrifice all to defeat the
implacable force that calls itself "The Witch Queen of Oz," and
quickly, before Earth becomes only a cold cinder floating among the stars.
Suddenly outside on the street, she stood facing in the
direction of the Cambodian take-out, her entire nervous system tingling and
parts shaking as if with Parkinson’s due to the abrupt teleportation against
her will. The night fell black and splattered with garish light. She looked up
to see the Wall Street corpse directly above her, and she swore he was staring
down with an oafish mocking expression as if he knew something she did not.
Then the ground quaked, and like balloons filled with molten glass, every
window in her apartment building exploded. The shrieks of burning people next.
How many she did not know, but she knew she must save them.
Before Piper could act, a whip of turbulent energy uncoiled
like a sun flare from her living room window eight stories above. She observed
the Wall Street corpse nearby disintegrate into a memory of burning sparks. She
immediately recognized the nature of the force—a Tao magical wavelength strong
as a thunderstorm yet contained, compressed to a small vortex, and potent
enough to kidnap half of Brooklyn.
Review
Piper Robin & the America Oz Maker this story immediately takes me to " The Wizard Oz", yet only for Adults and more Sci-Fi.
Piper Robins ( Grand Sorceress) her nemesis Czarina Catherine of Prussia and her father Edison Godfellow team up together to save planet Earth from the Witch Queen!
I thought this story was so imaginative, intuitive and genius. Every page is thrilling and so well written with very detailed accounts of their journey to saving the world. I can actually see this turning into a movie it was that amazing. A truly enjoyable story!
