A trilogy about two countries, Uraba and Tierra, at war with each other. It is set in a world similar to early modern Europe, impacted by such inventions as gunpowder and hot air balloons and by the discovery of hitherto unknown lands and oceans, both countries exploring the world in order to gain an upper hand against the other. One goal is to find the sacred land of Terravitae. However, the fanatic religious war, with each country believing its religion to be the only correct one and the other's a blasphemous heresy and engaging in an escalating series of atrocities, is reminiscent of an earlier historical period, that of the Crusades with its struggle between Medieval Christianity and Islam. The series' Holy City of Ishalem, sacred to both religions and which both kingdoms are utterly determined to possess at all costs, is reminiscent of Medieval attitudes to Jerusalem.
Anderson and ProgRock Records owner and musician Shawn Gordon created a crossover project called Roswell Six and released the album "Terra Incognita: Beyond The Horizon" with Erik Norlander for book 1 and "Terra Incognita: A Line In The Sand" with Henning Pauly. They combine progressive rock/metal with science fiction lyrics by Anderson and his wife.
