Very intriguing base idea for a story. I read books one and two, but this could have stood alone.

This book is your link to the fictional legend of Myst with the story of Atrus, son of Gehn and the last of the race of D'Ni - the masters of The Art, the craft of linking to other worlds through the descriptive art of writing in special books. For most of his young life, Atrus thought the stories his grandmother told him were just strange legends. Then his time came to explore the magnificent underground realm

I grew up playing the pc game as a child, when i found out there were books as well.. i was ecstatic, just had to get them.
The Book of Atrus was simply amazing, really glad i grabbed a copy. Great story and simply amazing detail went into this. If you know anything of this storyline, its a must get.. If you dont know anything about it.. pick it up anyways.. Its a fabulous story!

(from back cover)

The ages of Myst are worlds of adventure and awe; of mystery and beauty; of intrigue and betrayal. The world's best-selling CD-ROM game is just a piece of the picture. Now, take a step into the fictional legend of Myst.

These pages are your link to the story of Atrus, son of Gehn, and the last of the race of D'Ni--the masters of The Art, the craft of linking to other worlds through the descriptive art of writing in special books. For most of his young life, Atrus thought the stories his grandmother told him were just strange legends. Then his time came to explore the magnificent underground realm...

The Book of Atrus is a tale of son against father; of truth versus evil; and of love and redemption. You will travel to wonderful new ages and have all your questions answered--for this story ends where the world of the MYST game just begins
