Summary

Max Frei¹s novels have been an international literary sensation since their debut in 1996, and have swept the fantasy world over. Presented here in English for the first time, The Stranger¹s Woes, the second book of The Labyrinths of Echo, will strike a chord with readers of all stripes. Part fantasy, part horror, part philosophy, part contemporary dark comedy, the writing is united by a sharp wit and a web of clues that will open up the imagination of every reader. Max Frei is a twenty-something loser--a big sleeper (during the day, that is--at night he can¹t catch a wink), a hardened smoker, and an uncomplicated glutton and loafer. But then he gets lucky. He contacts a parallel world in his dreams, where magic is a daily practice. Once a social outcast, he¹s now known in his new world as the ³unequalled Sir Max." He¹s a member of the Department of Absolute Order, formed by a species of enchanted secret agents; his job is to solve cases more extravagant and unreal than one could imagine--a journey that will take Max down the winding paths of this strange and unhinged universe.
