Editorial Review
This omnibus edition of the hugely popular Myst trilogy is published to coincide with the release of Myst Revelations, the latest in the line of the bestselling Myst interactive CD-ROM games. The award-winning Myst series is one of the most successful interactive CD-ROM computer games in history with sales of more than 12 million copies worldwide. Myst captivated the world when it was first conceived and created by brothers Rand and Robyn Miller. Its extraordinary success has gone on to spawn Riven, Myst III Exile, and most recently, Uru: The Ages Beyond Myst. Devoted fans of these surreal adventure games gather yearly at "Mysterium" (whose event sites are spreading to other countries) to exchange game strategies, share stories, and meet up with old friends.
The Myst Reader is a literary companion to the CD-ROM games and a compendium of the bestselling official Myst trilogy: The Book of Atrus, The Book of Ti'ana, and The Book of D'ni. Devoted fans and new players alike will be delighted to have three books in this mythic saga together for the first time in one value-priced volume, which will be published in time to coincide with the long-awaited release of Myst Revelations.

Great book! 
2008-09-11
This book is based on the popular Myst video games.
Ryan Miller along with a co author delve into the story of Atrus and his D'ni history. It's a must read for those who like to get into the whole Myst enviroment.
It is a must read for the on line game that is getting ready to be released! MORE Very exciting.
Good sci-fi 
2008-08-18
A fascinating book that is an interesting read, even if you're not a fan or player of the Myst game series. It provides a more spiritual backbone and reads somewhat like the illustrations you see in the Myst series: like a series of illustrative paintings that are of more simplified detail than the real world, but contain important moral lessons, and stunning visuals. The inclusion of three books gives one the feeling of immense amounts of time passing, though the narrative (if I remember right) only spans about one and a half lifetimes...
A must have for Myst lovers. 2008-07-08
For anyone, from young to adult, who is into Myst, this book, has to be in your book case. I wish it were in hard cover, and I do hope the Myst group, continues with this facinating story. My only regret is, I had to buy a new computer, and It is a Vista based unit, and all Myst programs play on Vista, except Game V, End of Ages. I mention this, here in the book review, because, I just want to give a heads up to those with Vista, who are thinking of getting the game. PLEASE, Myst Folks, Don't let us Vista users down. We have been faithful to you, so Let us enjoy, Game V, too. Buy the book folks. You will not be disapointed. I could not put it down, except for some sleep, till I finished it, and it has only whet my appetite for more, and kudos to Amazon, for their great internet buying service. They have never disapointed me so far, and I have been doing business with them for a few years now. Thank You.
Entertaining and Deep 2008-06-21
Nothing like a compilation for tons of good reading. The classic series comes together so even the Myst newcomer can get an in-depth view of the Myst universe in one fell swoop. All three books are compelling. I am not an avid "alternate universe" fan, and I loved these books.
ANY book-lover will be enchanted by the great "what if" contained in the Myst Saga. Highly recommended.
Always wanted to get these volumes. 2008-04-05
So far the first volume is fine. The binding is very nice for this 3-in-1 set. The book looks nice on the shelf, too, very decorative. I enjoyed Myst and Riven as games. Haven't finished Exile yet. But I look forward to reading these at my leisure.

Imaginative Adventure 2008-01-28
This book lays the background story to the Myst game series. It is indeed a fascinating and imaginative tale of the ages. While not very thought-provoking, these books lead imagery to the max if you let it. I highly recommend this series for those who want a long, satisfying adventure. If you're in the field of science & engineering the geological machinery, tools and D'ni Age creation are appealing. The ancient guild trade social culture of D'ni is neat as well.
Even if you never played (but those who did, especially), this is a great story.
Great for any reader! 2007-04-09
I have read these books and played the games. These books are stand alone and are wonderful. They are some of my all time favorite books and have been reread many times. They are enthralling, entertaining and so well written. I own them all seperately, The Book of Ti'ana my favorite. I think combining them in one volume is great too. But I do suggest reading them in a different order than they were written. According to chronological storyline, The Book of Ti'ana comes first, then The Book of Atrus, then The Book of D'ni. But they're still easy to follow in any order. Great great books! Buy them!
Still hoping for The Book of Marrim!
A sensational book 2007-02-21
This book is superb, a "must read" for anyone. On top of that the games are GREAT. This book may be invaluable in the sense that it will add the storyline of the games and vise versa. With "MYST Online:URU Live" released (Feb/2007) this will definitely give you a great experience while exploring D'ni (The Deep City) in-game.
I would rate this book along with the likes of "The Lord of The Rings", "The Chronicles of Narnia" and even "Harry Potter".
Thank you Rand Miller for creating a great fantasy world for me to escape to. I'm looking foward to the release of "The Book of Marrim".
Simply wonderful. 2007-02-12
My first book of the trilogy was the second, then I searched for and found the third. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the first book for a very long time - "out of print," etc, etc. So I was overjoyed to find this edition recently. I admire the intricate setting of the world of D'ni, and simply love them all. They're a must-read that I return to every few months. I think they're just as wonderful as the games, wonderful in a unique way.
