Worlds is more than just an absorbing
and, ultimately, heart-wrenching work of fiction, it is a visual
masterpiece. Not since Wayne Barlowe's Expedition has an artist
conceived an alien biosphere in such baroque detail, while
remaining true to nature's fundamental principles of adaptation,
selection and ecological interdependence. These worlds are
intricately conceived, their biomes scientifically plausible,
while possessing a sufficient sense of the quirky and outrageous
to mirror nature's own outlandish inventiveness.
Worlds is a visual depiction of humankind's first exploration
of life-supporting planets, shown in a dynamic vérité photographic
style and told in a first-person narrative. Created by Academy
Award-nominated visual effects artist Alec Gillis, Worlds leads
the reader on a journey to undiscovered landscapes, populated
by unknown life forms. Worlds is a mission of discovery that
becomes a struggle for survival, and in the process celebrates
humanity's spirit of exploration.
