"Otherland is civilization's most stunning achievement: a private, multidimensional universe built over two generations by the greatest minds of the twenty-first century. But this most exclusive of places is also a jealously guarded secret, created and controlled by the Grail Brotherhood, a private cartel known to few and made up of the world's most powerful and ruthless individuals.
The purpose of Otherland is still a mystery. But it may not remain so for long. For the price that the Brotherhood has exacted from humanity in building it has neen terrible and cannot be hidden for ever.
A small band of adventurers has penetrated the veil of secrecy that surrounds Otherland and has broken into the amazing worlds within worlds it contains. But now they are trapped, unable to escape back to their own flesh-and-blood bodies in the real world.
And as dangers and circumstances split their party into small, scattered groups, their only hope lies in returning again and again to the River that flows in one form or another through all the worlds. But even that hope is destroyed when it becomes clear that one among their number is the Grail Brotherhood's most terrifying weapon, and has orders to ensure that no one lives long enough to reveal the truth about Otherland to the people of Earth.
In Otherland, Tad Williams created a perilous and seductive realm of the imagination where any fantasy can be made shockingly real. River of Blue Fire shows the nightmare that realm can unleash."
