Piers Anthony is one of the world's most popular fantasy authors. He lives in Inverness, Florida.
Independent fantasy from the prolific Anthony (most recently, Zombie Lover, p. 1075) and newcomer/collaborator Brady. Trapped in an abusive relationship with her rape/violence-prone partner, Nola Rollins takes refuge inside her serial, lucid dream s, where she visits an elaborate dreamscape called Kafka. Complete with the usual fantasy trappings, Kafka does however lack cockroaches, castles, trials, and whatnot. Unknowingly, Nola is a Creatorshes actually dreamed certain aspects of Kafka into exist ence. But now evil creatures called Frens, led by their baneful wizard King Reility, have dammed the River of Thought (it's composed of human dreams: Kafka's inhabitants can't dream) with indestructible dreamstone, and all of Kafka will die. Only Creators can dissolve dreamstone. So Mich, son of King Erik, travels to Earth along with Esprit, a winged black unicorn (Nola's dreamed both Mich and Esprit) to obtain Nola's help. Once she accepts the fact of Mich and Esprit being real, Nola agrees to travel to Kafka and help remove the dam. After various adventuresthings don't go entirely according to planthey return to Earth to add Tina to their group: a down-and-out street kid, Tina has also Created part of Kafka. Once back in that land, they learn that King Erik has vanished and the situation is getting worse. All Nola has to do is believe in Kafka and disbelieve in the Frens and their dreamstone dam. Of course, what with the will-they won't-they Nola/Mich romance, it's not as easy as that, and various compl ications ensue. Conventional ideas given a breezy, well-rounded workout: standard fare for Anthony fans. -- Copyright ©1998, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
