This book uses the elements of adventure, action, romance, science fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Omar Metzger has discovered a link to another dimension. With funding being pulled in one week, Omar does not have enough time to appropriately substantiate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMyles Callaghan, an illusionist con-artist, has bitten off more than he can chew by swindling the Don of an Italian family out of several million dollars. On the run, and wanting to get far away from Italy, Myles goes much further than he expected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKasey is an assassin with orders to assassinate the Israeli prime minister. Betrayed, Kasey must escape before she is captured. As she crosses through an archway in the prime minister’s basement she realizes she has crossed much more than the threshold.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese three unlikely companions come together in a world far different than where they began. Together, they must find their way through an ever changing maze, understand the inhabitants of the Core of the planet, and escape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Great story, great characters, great universe! The clash of civilizations, old and new, and mix of ancient cultures and ancient hi-tech flavor is wonderful. Rise of the Magi is much more in depth and \"Steam punk\" like than I imagined. My first impression was that the world was going to be too similar to other fantasy worlds but it is very unique. I love the parallel universe and multi-dimensional elements; they are brilliant.\u003cbr\u003eThe fact that I'm so passionate with my opinions about this story only proves how moving and fresh it really is. There is no question that this story and universe is movie and video game worthy.\u003cbr\u003eCongrats Randy, you wrote a wonderful story!\u003cbr\u003e~Jamie Wiggs\u003cbr\u003eGame Designer\u003cbr\u003e(Squaresoft, Microsoft, EA Games)\u003cbr\u003eWorks including: Middle Earth 1 and 2, Shadows of Mordor","brand":"Randy Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079900709104,"sku":"2940149925919","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149925919_p0.jpg?v=1763726838","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149925919","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
