Customer Reviews

Amazing! How does he come up with this stuff?!

Like the first book in this series "Virtual Mode", this is another wonderful trip into an area never gone to before in a novel and a unique way of getting there. As a writer, Mr. Anthony never ceases to amaze me! He always entertains while educating you at the same time.

Fractal Mode

If you didn't read the first book of this series, this book is going to be a little confusing at first, but you'll get it soon enough. If you enjoy science fiction novels, this is the book for you to read. This is part of an inspiring story of five strange travelers from different universes. They gathered together and want to see different modes and universes. Colene is from earth, Darius has some magic power from a magical world, Sequiro is a telepathic horse, Nona is from Oria where shie is Queen, and Provos forgets the past but remembers the future. They were held at Oria for some time trying to help Nona change the Animus to Anima. They meet new people on the way and found out new things about themselves and their friends. I am the type of person who dreams about flying, non-stop action, and magic sorcerers, so this book was extremely enjoyable for me. The author, Piers Anthony, explains everything in detail and makes it seem like you're there actually watching it. So, if you love science fiction books this is for you; but if you don't, then this might be a little weird for you.

One of his best

A breathtaking conclusion to the trilogy. The characters are so real. When I finished this book, I felt as if I had lost a few friends. Read this book!

Wonderful sequel!!

Fractal Mode is a really great sequel to Virtual Mode. A new anchor in a new reality that is amazing. A fractal reality, where a mathematical equation become every single part of the earth, with rad and filaments, wondrous shapes of ferns, sea horses,bugs, etc... comprise this new reality.This is Piers's imagination at its best! Colene and Darius continue their adventure with Sequiro, Provos and new anchor Nona.If you like Virtual Mode, you will love Fractal Mode. And don't forget to read Chaos and DoOon ;-)

Overall this is a wonderful book!

I was quite impressed with the book Fractal Mode. I found this book to leave me a with little something to desire about the first book's main characters. But, it made me want to know more about Nona.(The main Character of this novel.) It had concepts that can be some what hard to fathom if you are not paying close attention to detail. (As in many Anthony novels.) An example of these concepts would be Mandelbrot Set and Julia Sets. It also made me want to rush right on into the third book and see what happens to everyone. (Which was better than the second but, not as good as the first. As I see it that is the case quite often.) But, it held my interest and intellect all the way through to the end. ( Also as in many Anthony novels .) Mostly though, it truly breaks my heart that I have not seen anymore books to this "Mode Series," even though they were promised. But, I keep my eyes peeled all the time. Hopefully soon I will be ecstatic and find one. So if you can I would recommend reading the "Mode Series" in its entirety. Bravo Anthony!P.S. Anthony, please send more sequel novels to the "Mode Series!!!!!!!!!" Thank You. I LOVE ALL Your Works!
