Book Description
A Game of Perfection is the English translation of the long awaited second volume of Elisabeth Vonarburg's Tyranael series. Book One, Dreams of the Sea (which was nominated for several awards including ForeWord Magazine's coveted Book of the Year award) sets the stage for the saga by introducing the Ailmadzi (Dreamers), Eilai (an Ancient Dreamer) and the Earth colonists who establish a new settlement on Tyranael, a planet they've named Virginia. In Book Two, A Game of Perfection, the reader meets the next generation of those who live on the planet, and the saga continues as told through the telepathic eyes of Simon, who not only dreams, but also has the ability to "read" the memory plates of other Dreamers. In typical Vonarburg style, A Game of Perfection weaves together exquisite visual imagery, and a multitude of plot twists and turns which lead the reader to explore the greatest adventure of all - reality!
