✦ Synopsis
Epub (reformatted)
Piers Anthony is, if nothing else, a great story teller and this hold true for
this work. Reader be warned though, this is the third volume in a typical
Anthony Trilogy and to be quite frank, you reall need to read the first two
offerings to truely understand this one. The story of OX is a tale of alternate
worlds which are crawling with really nasty robot machine. There are three
trapped scientists on this world and the story begins with encounters with
strange flying beings, half-animal, half-fungus with keen senses, more so than
any other creature in our universe. The three protagonists (who we know from the
previous books), must find the aperture to return to their own dimension before
they get done-in my the not so nice mechanical creatures. This all makes for an
interesting tale. Do take note, there are many twists and turns in this book, as
with any dealing with altered dimensions, and you must pay close attention to
details while reading.
