Worlds of Shadow is a trilogy by Lawrence Watt-Evans. It's the tale of an Unlucky Everydude and his friends and family as they find themselves caught up in a battle against an Evil Overlord who's taken over a fantasy universe and is attacking a sci-fi one. According to the author, "That would imply that the series is science-fantasy, blending two genres — but actually, it's more like horror, because in none of the three worlds do the good guys always win."Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })They are as follows:Out of This World (1993)In the Empire of Shadow (1995)The Reign of the Brown Magician (1996)

Aliens Speaking English: Justified-there are an infinite number of parallel universes, but contact can be made only if those sending and receiving are of similar species and speak a similar language.

Anyone Can Die: Many of the starting characters don't make it through to the end of the series.

Artificial Human: The simulacra, people created by magic with samples of hair or blood from previous natural ones. Shadow used them to impersonate people in the Galactic Empire as spies. It is implied that the originals have been murdered. The simulacra seem just like normal humans, except they're completely obedient to their creator/master-the only thing that upsets them is the idea of not having one, or failing in a mission.

The Archmage: Shadow is the last of these, a matrix wizard, having killed all the others. Pel is taught how to be one as well later.
