- The
- Mithgar
- and
- Faery
- novels
- of
- Dennis
- L.
- McKiernan
- have
- long
- enchanted
- fans
- and
- critics
- alike.
- And
- they
- were
- equally
- enthralled
- with
- his
- bestselling
- science-fiction/fantasy
- novel,
- Caverns
- of
- Socrates.
- And
- now
- this
- splendid
- story
- has
- been
- remastered
- to
- e-book
- form
- and
- retitled
- Shadowtrap.
- It
- is
- a
- gripping
- tale
- to
- fire
- the
- imagination
- and
- make
- the
- heart
- pound.
- .
- .
- .They
- call
- themselves
- the
- Black
- Foxes.
- .
- .
- .They
- are
- an
- award-winning
- group
- of
- adventure
- gamers
- who
- are
- reunited
- for
- one
- more
- contest,
- this
- time
- against
- an
- artificial
- intelligence
- named
- Avery.
- But
- this
- is
- no
- ordinary
- challenge,
- for
- the
- game
- will
- be
- played
- in
- Avery's
- virtual
- reality,
- a
- place
- so
- convincingly
- real
- that
- those
- who
- experience
- are
- certain
- it
- actually
- exists,
- and
- that
- they
- are
- truly
- the
- person
- Avery
- casts
- them
- as.
- Thus,
- in
- this
- particular
- test,
- each
- of
- the
- Black
- Foxes
- will
- not
- know
- who
- he
- really
- is,
- but
- instead
- will
- become
- his
- own
- Black
- Fox
- alter
- ego:
- a
- lady
- pathfinder
- of
- special
- powers;
- a
- master
- healer
- whose
- touch
- can
- cure
- though
- not
- without
- penalty
- to
- himself;
- a
- magical
- bard
- whose
- arcane
- abilities
- allow
- her
- shape
- sound;
- a
- syldari
- Shadowmaster,
- able
- to
- bend
- darkness
- itself;
- and,
- finally,
- their
- leader,
- a
- warrior
- extraordinaire.
- A
- sixth
- person
- will
- become
- part
- of
- the
- team:
- a
- former
- king's
- spy
- and
- master
- thief.
- The
- plan
- was
- to
- test
- Avery,
- but
- what
- no
- one
- anticipated
- was
- losing
- control
- of
- him,
- and
- the
- only
- hope
- for
- the
- Black
- Foxes
- is
- for
- them
- to
- defeat
- Avery
- at
- his
- own
- deadly
- gameDennis
- L.
- McKiernan
- holds
- us
- spellbound
- by
- weaving
- together
- science
- and
- magic
- and
- hazard
- and
- derring-do
- in
- a
- heart-clutching
- story,
- a
- breathtaking
- saga
- of
- science
- fiction,
- of
- fantasy,
- and
- a
- riveting
- account
- of
- a
- desperate
- group
- of
- skilled
- scientists
- trying
- to
- keep
- the
- Black
- Foxes
- alive

- enough
- for
