Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The year is 2028 and 15-year-old Metaphor is cruising through n-space in a two-person Spaceship. She is in the Galaxias Domain wearing her brand new websuit which allows her to experience the full physical illusion of virtual reality. Suddenly there is a WebCrash and Metaphor is trapped in the middle of a terrifying collision between two virtual worlds: Galaxias Domain, an interstellar empire of the year 3000 AD, and WebVin, a Domain recreating life in the Viking era 973 AD. Although the dangers and pains, the enemies and friends, are not real, while caught in the web they seem only too real to Metaphor and that's the point; she can't get back to Realworld because of the WebCrash. This intricately imagined and detailed story (there is even a Webspeak Glossary at the end) is the second one by Baxter in the Web series, edited by Simon Spanton. -- Tamsin Palmer
Product Description
2028. Aliens arrive - the first of a brand new series of adventures in the Web. 1 year after her adventure in GULLIVERZONE, Metaphor is still as excited by the web as anyone else her age. But even she isn't ready for the chaos and excitement that comes when the whole system crashes... No one knows what caused it; few people know how tosolve it. But everyone knows what a nightmare it is. Different sites are melting together, and when that means Vikings and spaceships are meeting, the last thing you want is to be stuck in the middle. But that is exactly where Metaphor is. And soon, sheis involved in a fight for survival with a group of Vikings who are displaying knowledge that no phace should have. Little does Metaphor know that the web crash is only the 1st part of an adventure that is going to overtake the world. And not just the world of the web but the Real world too.
