The second volume in the bestselling 'Mode' series. Lauded by Publishers Weekly as 'fresh, imaginative and enjoyable,' Virtual Mode heralded the start of a major new series by one of the most popular writers in modern fantasy. Now Piers Anthony continues his tradition of excellence with the spellbinding Fractal Mode.

Summary:

Saved from death at the hands of the Emperor Ddwng, would-be lovers Colene and Darius and their companions - Provos, a woman who remembers only the future, and Seqiro. A telepathic horse - stumble into yet another dangerous reality where despots rule with a cruel and heavy hand. Held captive, the friends must combine their unusual talents in a daring escape that leads them on adventure after adventure with the most intriguing characters - some threatening, some friendly - ever to grace the page. Among them: Angus, the adorable flying giant; Nona, the lovely and magical "ninth of the ninth"; Slick, the gangster with a death sentence; and the Megaplayers, mysterious musicians of old whose giant instruments are scattered around the landscape.

With its breathtaking pace, inimitable wordplay, and intense focus on deep human issues, Fractal Mode is a masterpiece by a master storyteller.
