Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
When a medieval swordsman named Raven improbably steps out of Pel Brown's basement wall and a purple spaceship appears out of nowhere to crash in Amy Jewell's backyard, their lives and quite possibly the fate of the universe take a sudden, perilous turn. Claiming citizenship in an alternate universe controlled by "the Empire," the inhabitants of the spaceship soon join Raven in Pel's living room, where Pel and Amy learn that the evil Shadow has taken control of Raven's world and is now threatening the Empire, provoking demands from both realms for Pel's help. But before any solution materializes, a quick trip through the wall to prove their story turns disastrous, stranding Pel and his family in the Empire, where he is kidnapped by space pirates and forced to use his wits to find a way home. This first installment of a planned trilogy transforms an outlandish tale into nonstop entertainment through crisp, believable dialogue and briskly paced action. Its deft mixing of sf and fantasy elements should give the series a wide appeal. Carl Hays

From Kirkus Reviews
In this first of a trilogy, Watt-Evans's hardcover debut, business consultant Pel Brown suddenly discovers he has a portal to another reality in his basement, with wizards and barbarian swordsmen popping through to ask his--and Earth's--help in fighting the evil Shadow that has conquered most of their world. Across town, meanwhile, Amy Jewell finds a large spaceship crashed in her backyard; from it emerge telepath Prossie Thorpe and some soldiers from yet another reality, the Galactic Empire; they, too, need Earth's help against the Shadow, which lately has begun to invade them also. Gathering at Pel's house, they all agree to step through his portal into the magic world--only to find themselves marooned there when the portal is attacked by Shadow-creatures. Hurriedly, they depart via still another portal into the reality of the Empire, where further adventures lie in store: kidnap by pirates, enslavement, death, rescue, and hard choices. Brisk, lightweight and different despite the rather plodding attempts at humor. Should prove popular with the Piers Anthony and/or Alan Dean Foster crowd. -- Copyright ©1994, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Great, but intense towards the end
10. August 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
What does an Evil Overlord/Necromancer/Dark Lord do when he has conquered his world? He begins searching for new worlds to conquer. Shadow has swallowed his entire world, and found an alternate reality, where a space-going Galactic Empire holds sway. The Galactic Empire is looking for allies and finds another reality, our Earth. And so, Pellinore Brown and some others from Earth, Captain Joshua Cahn and the crew of the ISS Ruthless of the Galactic Empire, and Raven of Stormcrack Keep and some other resisters of Shadow begin their trek across three realities. But, their journey will take them where they never expected to go.
For many years now, I have been a great fan of Lawrence Watt-Evans' wonderful Ethshar and Lords of Dus series. Having finished all of the Ethshar and Dus books currently available, I have moved on to his Three Worlds series. This book is another great read; one that shows off the author's writing ability. I loved the author's three, mutually exclusive worlds, finding each one fascinating.
If it's so great, then why did I only give it four stars? Frankly, towards the end of the book, the storyline turns to images of rape, brutality and murder, and became just a little too intense for me. This is definitely not a book for younger or more sensitive readers.
But, that said, I did enjoy this book, and look forward to reading the next book in the series. Lawrence Watt-Evans is a great author, and this book is another shining example of his abilities. I highly recommend this book!

Midline Review
20. März 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I'll start this review by stating the Lawrence Watt Evans is my favourite author. Sadly, I can not recommend this trilogy. I heartily enjoyed ALL his books save this series. Other reviewers have pointed out that characters they cared about were killed for no reason, sadly, I wasn't drawn to any of the characters enough to care about their deaths.
If you have read another Lawrence Watt Evans book, and are looking to read more of his work, don't make this trilogy it. Read ALL his other books first, then wait for new books to come out as you will be disappointed by this work.

Not for the bland
19. Oktober 1999
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The main reason i gave this book five stars is because it isn't the normal clap trap where no one gets hurt because they are good guys. The author is to be applauded because he brings a certain amount of realism to the fantasy genre. People are injured and killed not because they are inherently bad but because generally this sort of thing happens to people who don't have the power to defend themselves. If you are the kind of person who believes the tooth fairy should beat the Incredible Hulk just because she has a nice smile and a dimple then this is not the book for you.
