Titans of Chaos
by John C. WrightEdited by David G. Hartwell Cover Artist: Scott Fischer Review by Drew Bittner Tor Books Hardcover ISBN/ITEM#: 9780765316486 Date: 17 April 2007 List Price $25.95 Amazon US / Amazon UK / Show Article / At the end of Fugitives of Chaos, the five orphans were struggling to survive an attack while cruising about the Queen Elizabeth II. Lord Mavors (aka Mars, god of war) has encircled them with a fleet of black ships from which there seems to be no escape... but a daring feat of seamanship aboard Vanity's silver ship allows them to slip free of Mavors' trap. From official release/information: Titans of Chaos completes John C. Wright's Chronicles of Chaos trilogy, involving the adventures of five orphans who are far more than they appear to be. Raised in a strict British boarding school, the children realize they are not human, but rather hostages held by the Olympian gods. Amelia exists in (and can manipulate) four dimensions; Victor is an artificial life form able to control matter and energy through logic; Vanity (the sole non-Chaotic orphan) rules a silver ship and finds secret passageways through solid matter; Colin derives power from his self-confidence and belief; and Quentin is a wizard, conjuring spirits and casting spells. Although the orphans have learned a bit about their powers and made an escape from their school, the battle to survive is only beginning.
