While the franchise always had a major emphasis in the dreams and their worlds, this series concentrated on them specifically, each new adventure having something to do with the protagonist's and other people dreams and (sometimes) nightmares. In late 2014, Martynchik returned to the franchise with a new series, titled Dreams of Echo, currently at two volumes, telling of the Max' new adventures since his return from the Quiet City. This series is finished and currently contains 8 volumes, with the most recent one published in 2013. It consists of prequels narrated by other characters after The Quiet City, but describing events at various times spanning from before the War of the Codex to after The Quiet City. Given the nature of the setting and of Max himself, combinations of these answers can't be ruled out either.Īfter the final volume, the Labyrinths were continued by a Sequel Series, the Chronicles of Echo.

The catastrophe was narrowly averted and an ironclad Ban on Magic was enacted in the city of Echo, which stands atop the World's Heart. It's not all flowers and butterflies there, however: some eighty years ago, a Great Offscreen War between numerous magical Orders nearly brought about The End of the World as We Know It by depleting the World's Heart, its sole source of magical energy. The series concerns Sir Max, a regular shmoe from our world, who is invited and subsequently transported to Another Dimension, one where magic and the miraculous are commonplace. Extremely popular in Russia, it is in the process of being translated into English, with the first volume ( The Stranger) published in 2009 by Overlook Press. Although it is customarily transliterated as "Echo", the Russian word for "echo", as in the sound effect, is "эхо" (pronounced "EH-kho").) is a Russian Urban Fantasy-slash- Magical Land series written between 19 by Svetlana Martynchik, better known by her pen name Max Frei.
