A visionary science fiction classic from Larry Niven and Steven Barnes
The Barsoom Project is the direct sequel to 1981ās Dream Park. Evianeās first visit to the state-of-art amusement arena Dream Park ended in disaster: the special effects had seemed more real than life ⦠until the holograms she was shooting with live ammunition turned out to be solid flesh and blood ⦠and very, very dead.
Haunted by the past, rebounding from a lengthy spell in a mental hospital, she has returned to Dream Park to exorcise a nightmare that has become reality. But in Dream Park, nothing is what it seems. The Inuit mythology controlling the images is part of a āFat Ripper Specialā designed to implant new behavioral memes. The players are struggling against the game master, one another, and their own demons. And there is a killer who wants to ensure Eviane never regains her memory ⦠no matter what it costs.
Blending together hard science fiction with virtual reality and RPG-like fantasy games, The Barsoom Project is science fiction at the cutting edge and a classic creation from two of the genreās most beloved writers.
