The Worlds of Shadow

The Worlds of Shadow

The Worlds of Shadow is a fantasy novel trilogy by Lawrence Watt-Evans.

There are three worlds in the story. There is a fantasy world where magic works and the planet is literally the centre of the universe, a science fiction world containing "faster than light" travel and blaster technology and finally the real world set in the present day.

This allows the story to combine elements of science fiction and fantasy.

Plot overview

A method to travel between the worlds is discovered in the 2 fictional worlds. In the fastasy world, this is a powerful magic spell that is only known to a small number of people and in the science fiction world a facility is built that can transport people between the worlds.

A family from the real world ends up traveling to the other two worlds.
