IN THE MOTHERS' LAND

Howard Scott

As the twin planets of Alta�r eclipse each other, a mysterious blue Sea rises up from the darkness, killing most of the Earth colonists who have settled the strange new world. In the devastating aftermath, the survivors must make a new life amid the abandoned, yet curiously intact cities of a long-vanished alien population. But their greatest challenge is yet to appear, for in a world of ancient memory and forgotten history, the answer to salvation may lie in the strange dreams of the colonists themselves. But are their dreams the key to survival, or a final warning of the dangers to come? So begins Book 1 in the epic of Tyrana�l, a five book series from one of Canada's most beloved Science Fiction authors.

A Game of Perfection is the English translation of the long awaited second volume of Elisabeth Vonarburg's Tyranael series. Book One, Dreams of the Sea (which was nominated for several awards including ForeWord Magazine's coveted Book of the Year award) sets the stage for the saga by introducing the Ailmadzi (Dreamers), Eilai (an Ancient Dreamer) and the Earth colonists who establish a new settlement on Tyranael, a planet they've named Virginia. In Book Two, A Game of Perfection, the reader meets the next generation of those who live on the planet, and the saga continues as told through the telepathic eyes of Simon, who not only dreams, but also has the ability to "read" the memory plates of other Dreamers. In typical Vonarburg style, A Game of Perfection weaves together exquisite visual imagery, and a multitude of plot twists and turns which lead the reader to explore the greatest adventure of all - reality!
