<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Music, myth, and magic mix in this tale of a melody not meant for human ears, from the <i>New York Times</i>-bestselling and award-winning author of <i>Darwin's Radio.</i></b> <p/> Michael Perrin is an aspiring poet, struggling to express the chaotic cadences of his thoughts on paper. He finds a kindred spirit in Arno Waltiri, the film score composer behind several of Michael's favorite classic movies. The maestro's greatest piece, however, was performed in front of a live audience only once. The concerto Opus 45, <i>Infinity</i> left its listeners entranced, altered to the very core of their souls. <p/> Waltiri's composition is a song of power. Never meant to be heard by human ears, its melody is as captivating as a siren's call, its notes ring out like a death knell, and its rhythms shake the very foundations of reality. <p/> The music's otherworldly tones have led Michael through the gate between Earth and the Realm of the Sidhedark, where faeries reign by rule of magic--and where Michael must find his muse if he's ever to return home. <p/><i>The Infinity Concerto</i> is a fantasy masterpiece by the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of the Forerunner Saga, <i>Eon</i>, and other imaginative classics. <br> <p/><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A delight.
