"A towering achievement! In its scope and humanity, Marc Scott Zicree's MAGIC TIME saga proves itself the worthy successor to Tolkien, in a modern vein. The fuse has been lit on a fantastic new epic series." ROCKNE S. O'BANNON, creator FARSCAPE Reality is not what it was. Desperate science run amok has collided with dark sorcery, and together they have ripped open a gaping wound into ... something. Now, in an instant, everything is different. The horrific is mundane, the impossible rational. Nothing works and everyone pays. Click the Praise links below for a look at the entire trilogy.

"One of the most interesting and promising new fantasy series to come along... The jacket copy compares it to Stephen King's THE STAND ... MAGIC TIME, however, can stand on its own." ORLANDO SENTINEL For promotional information contact Jack Womack at HarperCollins/EOS. *** Marc and I have been fielding complaints from readers who have books One and Three in the MAGIC TIME series but can't find book Two for less than $50. If you'd like to see ANGELFIRE back in print as a paperback, whether you're a reader or a book vendor, we encourage you to contact HarperCollins through their website to let them know how you feel about the unavailablity of the book. ***

Praise for Magic Time

"Marc Zicree is a superb writer." RAY BRADBURY

"The best new dose of magic to hit the world of fantasy literature in a long time." ORSON SCOTT CARD

"Exceptionally well written, and the 'veracity' is terrific." KEVIN J. ANDERSON, New York Times bestselling author of DUNE: HOUSE CORRINO.

"MAGIC TIME takes up where THE STAND leaves off. Taut writing, interesting characters, fascinating situations -- they all make me eagerly look forward to the next installment in this saga" HARRY TURTLEDOVE

"Magic Time is a great book! A bold and original science fantasy that, by the end, creates a brand new genre all its own. Epic, believable and very, very cool. When's the movie coming out?" BRANNON BRAGA, co-creator of STAR TREK -- ENTERPRISE

"Vivid, imaginative, emotional - MAGIC TIME is a blockbuster summer movie pressed between book covers. I'd urge you to prepare yourself, but I fear there's no way you can." ROCKNE S. O'BANNON, creator, FARSCAPE

"A great read! Even non-science fiction fans will find themselves caught up in this ambitious and exciting story. This is fantasy with heart and soul. I thoroughly enjoyed it." LEONARD MALTIN

"If one's reading goal is sheer entertainment, this book is a rousing success." BOOKLIST

"Zicree and Hambly join talents -- and lavish, crackling research -- to envision a post-disaster Manhattan fallen into chaos." KIRKUS REVIEWS

"Even though MAGIC TIME was written well before September 11, its depiction of Americans facing a global threat is relevant and uplifting. If, as Joseph Campbell indicated, myths help us to process the world, then MAGIC TIME may help readers explore the aftermath of the tragedies." CINESCAPE

"MAGIC TIME's great strength is its characters -- a pleasing cast of heroes whose interdependence and camaraderie draw reader sympathy. The motivations of the New York group, on whom the story is focused, are especially complex and believable. As they respond to danger -- from ravenous dragons to violent hoarders -- their developing friendship gives the story a genuine warmth. Fans of alternate-family adventures will therefore enjoy this novel greatly." SCI-FI.COM

"This first collaboration between talented writers Marc Scott Zicree and Barbara Hambly is the beginning of an innovative fantasy series. An enthralling and entertaining read." BARNES AND NOBLE

"A terrific story featuring powerful, strong characters -- a must for fans of post-apocalyptic fiction." BOOKLIST

"Zicree and Bohnhoff's engrossing sequel to last year's MAGIC TIME ... The story doesn't repeat itself; the characters grow & and the ultimate secret of the Source is sufficiently well hidden that several more volumes seem logically justified & The series will probably win a strong SF/fantasy following as long as future installments keep up the high quality." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

"Bohnhoff's graceful storytelling and Zicree's conceptual direction combine seamlessly in a fast-paced fantasy that should appeal to fans of epic adventure and urban fantasy." LIBRARY JOURNAL

"ANGELFIRE is the second entry in the planned MAGIC TIME trilogy, but readers shouldn't feel they have to backtrack to the first book to be able to understand what's going on. This novel is strong enough to stand on its own &. Kudos to Bohnhoff, who does a sterling job of mastering the character's individual voices, an especially complex task since each new chapter is told from an alternating character's first-person point of view. The variation in narrator keeps the energy of the novel up, and lets the reader get intimately involved in the thought process of each member of the group. It is this character work that makes ANGELFIRE eminently readable, and would make this novel appeal to those consumers that might not normally be attracted to the fantasy genre - a rare achievement." CINESCAPE

"...we had a motley crew of people that had not only fallen through the cracks of society but through the fingers of the "Source". It was in this that I realized the brilliance of the book. It gave me an impossibly intimate feeling of each character... [H]ats [off] for such amazingly rich characters. -- Jason Brandt, a reader

Praise for Ghostlands

On November 30, 2004, HarperCollins will be releasing in hardcover MAGIC TIME: GHOSTLANDS, the third of MARC SCOTT ZICREE's critically-acclaimed MAGIC TIME trilogy, a modern-day fantasy epic in which all the machines in the world stop working and magic comes back.

"Remarkable! An exciting, rigorously thought-out page-turner. Hold on tight -- it's one hell of a ride!" ROBERT J. SAWYER, Hugo Award-winning author of HOMINIDS

"By far the most driven, most exciting and most gripping entry in an already compelling trilogy. Zicree strikes an expert balance between surprising plot reveals and expert character development ... MAGIC TIME's characters are so real, so textured, that you feel as if you know them. Reading about their epic journey is like vicariously traveling with a group of close friends." CINESCAPE

"MAGIC TIME -- GHOSTLANDS is not only a strong stand alone contender, it is also the best of all possible capstones for Zicree's MAGIC TIME Trilogy. Zicree's faithful adherence to real world geography and post technological era physics firmly grounds the reader in the fantastic reality of his MAGIC TIME world. The narrative is both imaginative and highly entertaining, and Zicree's insistence on the use of realistic, three dimensional characters only serves to add to the richness and depth of GHOSTLANDS, making this truly a book for readers of all ages." STEVE WITT, SCI-FI NOW
