"If this is a Buffy the Vampire Slayer riff on Greek mythology, it is
nonetheless a highly erudite version . . . a highly entertaining
yarn." — SF Site Titans of Chaos completes John Wright's The
Chronicles of Chaos. Launched in Orphans of Chaos—a Nebula Award
nominee and a Locus Year's Best Novel—and continued in Fugitives of
Chaos, the trilogy is about five orphans raised in a strict British
boarding school who discovered that they are not human. The students
have been kidnapped, robbed of their powers, and raised in ignorance
by super-beings. The five have made incredible discoveries about
themselves. Amelia is apparently a fourth-dimensional being; Victor is
a synthetic man who can control the molecular arrangement of matter;
Vanity can find secret passageways through solid walls; Colin is a
psychic; Quentin is a warlock. Each power comes from a different
paradigm or view of the universe. They have learned to control their
strange abilities and have escaped into our world: now their true
battle for survival begins. The Chronicles of Chaos is situated in the
literary territory of J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter books and Neil
Gaiman's American Gods, with some of the flash and dazzle of superhero
comics. "Wright follows in the footsteps of Neil Gaiman and Tim Powers
with his own distinctive style . . . A highly enjoyable ride." —
