Tad Williams has held more jobs than any sane person should admit to—singing in a band, selling shoes, managing a financial institution, throwing newspapers, and designing military manuals, to name just a few. He also hosted a syndicated radio show for ten years, worked in theater and television production, taught both grade-school and college classes, and worked in multimedia for a major computer firm. He is cofounder of an interactive television company, and is currently writing comic books and film and television scripts as well. Tad and his family live in London and the San Francisco Bay Area.

Praise for the Otherland series:
“Tad Williams is the brightest and best of the
fantasists working in what is so often, and so inaccurately,
described as ‘the tradition of J.R.R. Tolkien’.” ―Neil Gaiman,
author of American Gods
“Irresistible characters, challenging ideas, an intricate, and
startlingly possible plot―everything any reader of SF or fantasy
could ask for in a novel, with gorgeous writing besides. A dazzling
book.” ―Melanie Rawn, author of Dragon Prince
“This brilliantly crafted book delivers even more than its title
promises: not one other land but many come to life here, each
engrossing, glittering, and dangerous. In this intricate geography
of the mind Williams tells a cracking good story, but even as the
suspense builds, you come to realize that you’re seeing a strangely
familiar world―ours as it might come to
be. Otherland is one of the best works of science
fiction I’ve ever read.” ―Kathrine Kerr, author of the Dragon Mage
series
“Williams creates a rewarding, satisfying reading experience that
is part thriller, mostly fantasy, and always creative. Readers must
be familiar with the other three Otherland volumes before
attempting this one.” ―VOYA
“This stunning finale to the gigantic Otherland tetralogy, a
brilliant fusion of quest fantasy and technological SF, is sure to
please Williams’s many fans.” ―Publishers Weekly
“In this amazingly orchestrated final volume, Williams weaves
together all the elements of his multiple storylines, culminating
in the perfect ending. If you’ve missed the first parts of the
Otherland saga, go back and start at the beginning―it will
captivate you.” ―Books in Review
“Strongly written, finely characterized, masterfully plotted, and
above all consistently intelligent in its examination of self and
story, real and virtual, and the blurred boundaries in between,
this series stands as a major achievement, and should cement
Williams’ reputation as one of the most accomplished authors now
working in the field.” ―SF Site
