3. 3. The Book Of Ti'ana

   

   A fictional historical chronicle of a woman named Ti'ana who rises from the surface world into the secretive, ancient underground civilization of the D'ni, learning its powerful art of writing and witnessing the cultural and moral conflicts that accompany mastery of that power.

4. 4. The Myst Reader

   

   The Myst Reader is a collection of three novels based on the Myst series of adventure games. The collection was published in September 2004 and combines three works previously published separately: The Book of Atrus (1995), The Book of Ti'ana (1996), and The Book of D'ni (1997). The novels were each written by British science-fiction writer David Wingrove with assistance from Myst's creators, Rand and Robyn Miller. Each novel centers on the family of Atrus, a scientist and explorer who has the ability to write special books which serve as links to other worlds, known as Ages. This ability, known as the Art, was practiced extensively by an ancient civilization known as the D'ni, who were only mentioned briefly in the original Myst game. The plot of each book reveals more of the Myst back-story and the workings of the D'ni. Upon release, reception of the novels have been mixed. Many reviewers expressed surprise that a novel based on a videogame worked; others found the prose dull and uninteresting, or that the book could not stand on its own without the game. The individual books sold well, with The Book of Atrus making USA Today's Best-Selling Books list.Two more novels were planned; a sample of the first, The Book of Marrim, was packaged with an edition of Myst V: End of Ages.
