ALAN Review, Summer 2007 by Booher, Bret
Titans of Chaos by John C. Wright Tor, 2007, 319 pp., $25.95 Alternate History/Mythology ISBN-13: 978-0-7653-1648-6
John C. Wright's Titans of Chaos rounds out his Chronicles of Chaos trilogy in spectacular fashion. Amelia, a fourth-dimensional being; Vanity, a lost Phoenician princess; Victor, a synthetic man; Colin, a psychic; and Quentin, a warlock, all discover even more powers as they seek to find out who they are and establish their freedom while the Olympian gods pursue them at every turn. This book manages to blend just about every form of fantasy fiction into one fast-paced read. With mythologies ranging from ancient Greek to those of Jules Vern and scientific philosophies spanning from Aristotelian to Newtonian, Wright presents some heady concepts in a way that is not only understandable, but enjoyable as well.
