Hell Hath No Fury

Multiverse, Book 2

By: David Weber, Linda Evans

Narrated by: Mark Boyett

It began with two men. They came from very different worlds - entirely different universes, in fact - and they met in a virgin forest on a duplicate planet Earth. Neither of them had expected it, but both of them realized how important the first contact with any other transuniversal human civilization might be.

But something went wrong. Neither side knows who shot first. But both the magic-using civilization of Arcana and steel-and-steam age Sharona, with its psionic Talents, think it was the other side. And it doesn't really matter now, because the original incident has snowballed.

Both sides have additional dead to mourn; both sides have additional wrongs to avenge. Both sides have additional military forces moving toward the front. War between the universes is the last thing responsible leaders on either side want. But the fury of their respective populations, xenophobic fear of the unknown, and cries for justice (or vengeance) are all driving both sides toward the brink. The actions of local military commanders and diplomats may well determine the final outcome, and unscrupulous, power-hungry men - and Arcana and Sharona alike - have agendas of their own.

The fuse has been lit, and a war stretching across the universes, across an endless succession of identical Earths, fought between dragons, spells, and crossbows and repeating rifles, machine guns, and artillery is about to begin in white-hot rage and fury. Where it will end - and how - no one knows.

Hell Hath No Fury

A solid second book of an amusing book series. You really cannot go wrong with dragons, telepathics, and wizards. This is a story for those that enjoy an elaborately woven plot lines that bridge multiple books.

World Building at Its Finest

Weber and Evans have built an incredible universe with robust characters, thick plots, and a mighty storyline.

NEED MORE

This series is so good, I can't wait to get my hands on the next!

very well done world building.

lot of fun. be prepared to invest the time. labor of love here. but if detail doesn't scare you, worth the time.

Better than Book 1

This second novel of the series is an improvement over the first because it comes with a rudimentary map to help the reader keep the transition chain figured out and an extensive glossary at the end if you can't recall how a name fits into the story when you see it again. That being said I just discovered there was a decade long publishing gap between this book and the next and I am heartily pleased I didn't read these first two when they were published 15 years ago! I also discovered the fourth book has not yet been published which I find worrisome.
I would give this novel 4.5 stars but the system makes me choose 4 or 5 and it doesn't rate a five in my opinion.
