Description
A brilliant but perpetually outmatched scholar, Harold Shea, discovers a way to step into parallel worlds where magic is not metaphor but mechanism. In these adventures, he navigates realms shaped by Norse myth and the strange moral architecture of Spenser’s *The Faerie Queene*, using symbolic logic to translate spells, rules, and realities that refuse to behave like ordinary fantasy. Blending wry humor with rigorous “how-it-works” speculation, the stories explore the boundary between imagination and method—asking what happens when intellect meets enchantment. With De Camp and Pratt’s brisk, inventive style, this collection delivers high-concept escapism that feels both scholarly and delightfully mischievous.
