Lawrence Watt-Evans, Out of This World
Del Rey (1993) ISBN: 0-345-39114-4
Score: 1
Beginning of the Three Worlds trilogy (and there's no hint that it's a part of a larger work until the very end). An ominous being known as Shadow has conquered the world of Faerie, and is starting to attack the universe of the Galactic Empire, who looks for allies and finds the universe of Earth. The book opens with both the Empire and resistance forces from Faerie trying to make an alliance with the USA, only to discover that Imperial tech and magic don't work here. The tone changes rather drastically halfway through: characters who made it through the first half literally without a scratch suddenly start dying off-screen. This is also one of those oddly dated books from the end of the 20th century: too recent to feel "historical" while still pre-dating cell phones and the internet.
