THE MAGIC
GOES AWAY
ONCE THERE WAS MAGIC IN THE WORLD...
But hordes of selfish, short-sighted magicians have used up the
mana
that moved the world, and the magic goes away. Even the most powerful spells are fast becomming futile, and so Orolandes, sad Achaean with half a sword, goes on a quest in search of the lost power.
But all the gods and Fait Atlantis are dead. The creatures of spirit, the unicorns and centaurs, are dying. Soon all the sparkling things will be gone from the world and only clay will remain - and those damned stupid barbarians with their damned stupid swords will win after all...
This is an illustrated science-fantasy novel such as only the pre-eminent author of hard science fiction, Larry Niven, could create. We at Ace are proud of it, and we felt compelled to publish it first in a special large-size format - in which is spent six month in
FIRST
place on the trade-sf bestseller list! Now it is available for the first time in a mass-market edition. Not one word has been changed, not one Estedan Maroto's incredibly beautiful interior illustrations has been omitted.
"LARRY NIVEN WRITES THE BEST AND MOST CONSISTENT FANTASIES SINCE LEWIS CARROLL. OBVIOUSLY I'M NOT UNPREJUDICED, BUT DAMN IT, HE'S JUST INCREDIBLY GOOD. AND
THE MAGIC GOES AWAY
IS HIS BEST FANTASY YET. READ IT!"

ONCE THERE WAS MAGIC
IN THE WORLD....
Unlimited magic, enough magic for every wizard's son who ever wished to cast a spell. But the "mana," the power that makes the magic and fuels the spells, is drying up, a natural resource wasted by centuries of careless and short-sighted magicians.
In
The Magic Goes Away
master fantasist Larry Niven chronicled the end of an age, and the beginning of a new world where steel and muscle rule. In this eagerly awaited sequel, Larry Niven has invited Poul Anderson, Steve Barnes, Mildred Downey Broxon, and Dean Ing into his world to tap the hidden reserves of mana and uncover the forgotten places of power. All is not lost. The magic
may
return.
