\nExpertly combining hard-core science fiction and high fantasy, Gleeson tells the story of twenty-first century\u2019s greatest sorcerer who sets out to save humanity from a powerful alien force. After the Witch Queen of Oz, a powerful alien from Orion, secretly invades Earth and sets on to destroy humanity, Piper Robbin, the greatest sorcerer of twenty-first century, builds a network of seven Oz-like city worlds as a protection against the Witch Queen. But Robbin\u2019s magical creations stands a little chance in front of the Witch Queen\u2019s enduring prowess. To defeat the evil alien Queen, Robbin must unite forces with her father Edison Godfellow, Earth\u2019s greatest world maker, and Czarina Catherine of Prussia, her greatest adversary. Gleeson captures the classic story’s epic sweep in his numerous dramatic settings and high-octane action sequences. A constant array of high-profile encounters between allies and enemy forces keep the action going with maximum adventure. The characterization is Gleeson\u2019s strong point with his careful introduction to the villains and portrayal of heroes as splendid beasts. The horrible blood-curdling violence and humanity\u2019s dramatic encounters with vicious alien forces render the story a dark perspective, but fans of hard-core science fiction will be delighted. The premise is appealing, and despite the excessive numbers of ancillary characters and multiple landscapes, Gleeson gracefully pulls together a spellbinding finale while moving the story forward at a lightning speed. Highly recommended to hard-core sci-fi fans.<\/span><\/p>\nPiper Robbin and the American Oz Maker <\/span><\/h2>\n
