The Tower of Endless Worlds

The Destroyer of Worlds. I'm an illegal wizard, an expert thief, and an occasional killer. So robbing the mansion of the Elven noble Lord Castomyr should prove no challenge at all. The Man in the High Castle. Slavery is legal once again. The few Jews who still survive hide under assumed names. All because some twenty years earlier the United States lost a war—and is now occupied by Nazi Germany and Japan.

Dick as an innovator in science fiction while breaking the barrier between science fiction and the serious novel of ideas. In it Dick offers a haunting vision of history as a nightmare from which it may just be possible to wake. Winner of the Hugo Award.

In this case, though, it's not some wide-eyed ingenue being asked by a wise, benevolent old wizard or underdressed enchantress to save their world, it's an impoverished and, as it turns out, highly unscrupulous graduate student who finds a creepy warlock stepping out of his closet - a warlock who is very intrigued by these things called "guns". Fast forward a few years and the student is a US Senator, filthy rich from selling guns and other supplies to his extradimensional visitor's army of darkness, and using black magic to take down his opponents.

Unfortunately, the execution is a bit lacking. Aside from some fairly significant editorial problems, we spend a lot of the book following a rather annoying protagonist in the form of a young man who ends up working for the villainous Senator. He spends rather too much time either in tedious denial about the supernatural goings-on around him or being a pretentious, judgemental prat I sense the author has an axe to grind about people who think history and classical literature are unimportant, as this comes up repeatedly.

It doesn't really help that people keep pointing out to him that he's a bit of an arrogant snob. Another equally glaring problem is that the fantasy world feels very colourless and generic. The bad guys wear black, operate out of a blasted wasteland and enjoy torture, rape and massacre. Description Give me a hundred guns, and I will conquer my world. Other Books in This Series.
