From Publishers Weekly
SF screenwriter Zicree (The Twilight Zone Companion) teams with Philip K. Dick Award–winner Wilson (The Chronoliths) for the rousing, if overly long, conclusion to his Magic Times fantasy trilogy. Since the Change, which nudged the universe into another dimension thanks to a U.S. government agency's snafu, unpredictable magic has replaced modern technology worldwide. Former New York lawyer Cal Griffin leads a courageous band out West in search of his sister, Tina, while another stalwart member of the group, Herman Goldman, looks forlornly for his lost sweetheart, Magritte. The saga's lawyer-dragon villain, Ely Stern, whose iridescent scales are gaudier than ever, provides the biggest plot surprise. As Cal and company attempt to destroy the evil that caused the Change, the authors effortlessly move the action from New York to Chicago and the old West, where buffalo still roam, a few guns still fire and simulacra of Indians and Calamity Janes lend a helping hand. Some readers may find the heroes' repetitive adventures tiresome, but most will applaud the upbeat message about humanity's survival, if without cell phones or TV.

From Booklist
The conclusion of the trilogy including Magic Time (2001) and Magic Time: Angelfire (2002) is as spectacular as its predecessors. Searching for the Source--that is, the cause of an apocalyptic world disaster--has led Cal Griffin and his many and varied companions on a harrowing journey from Manhattan to Chicago and beyond. This premise isn't new, but Zicree and Wilson lend it exciting freshness, and it proves captivating from page 1 on. Characters are well developed and consistent throughout, and each of the major players brings a unique postapocalyptic talent to the table. Griffin is reluctant yet perfect for the job of leading the strange little band. He doesn't think he has the power to change anything, much less save the world, but a nagging sense of responsibility, fueled by a recurring dream and the absolute belief of his followers, keeps him moving forward. A powerful, intelligent, deeply human, and many times abruptly laugh-out-loud funny wrap-up volume. Paula Luedtke
