"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title. Major ad/promo author tour.Ĭopyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. You have seen only a glimpse of the picture. Fifteen two-color illustrations, not seen by PW. Title: Myst: Book of Atrus (Audiobook), 2 CDs Author: Rand and Robin Miller with David Wingrove Publisher: Random House 'The ages of Myst are worlds of adventure and awe of mystery and beauty of intrigue and betrayel. The result is a thrilling tale that will appeal not only to gamers but to all those who enjoy absorbing, fast-paced, well-constructed fantasy. The narrative avoids the excesses that plagued Wingrove's Chung Kuo series while imparting the passion that the Millers channeled into the Myst CD-ROM. The authors follow their hero, Atrus, from breech birth (and his mother's resultant death) into his uneasy relationship with Gehn, the father who abandoned him at birth and who now wants to recreate the culture of the D'ni, beings whose writings could conjure?or at least discover?worlds. For with Wingrove's help, the Miller brothers, who created the Myst CD-ROM, have created a rollicking adventure tale full of engaging philosophical contemplations about the interplay between art and science. In the acknowledgements to this first novel in a projected series, Wingrove is thanked by his coauthors, the Miller brothers, "for accomplishing the impossible." Wingrove's achievement certainly is improbable, at least judging from the sorry results of other computer-game-to-novel translations, like the paperback spinoffs of Doom.
