Hi everybody! This is my first post in a desparate attempt at finding this book. I only got to read a couple chapters in it, but here's some info on it:
Written by 2 authors, the 1st half or so of the book was written by a teenager but died an early death - so his friends wrote to many authors asking them to finish the story and one author said he would - and so he finished the last 12 or something chapters.
What it is about: there are 4 different worlds, each consisting of its own way that things are done. The boy that you start off reading about is in our world - the one with technology, then he goes through a near-death experience and comes to this world filled with magick. 2 other people come to this magick world, a woman from a world of wisdom (she is also a telepath) and a man from a world of strength (he is, well, strong). These 3 + a Satyr (I think) all must join forces and abilities to fight an evil sorcerer named Nefarius.
Why do they fight Nefarius? a king in a city said that every world has their major evils at one point, which creates lesser evils in the other 4 worlds. WW2 being the technological world's evil, Nefarius the magickal world's evil, and I don't think they spoke about the other 2 worlds.
Anyway, this is pretty much all I remember. I borrowed the book from an old friend, but they moved and I had to give it back - this was years ago and something recent made me think of it and now I want to read it but contact with that person has been cut :(
If you can help, I would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much in advance.

edit - oh yes, a little bit more info, the 4 had their own fears. The technology boy being something about ice (his near-death was falling in a frozen lake and not getting out), the woman was in a cave and suffocating/being trapped, the strong man was fire (family burned to death and he ran around trying to find them), and the Satyr's was wind/ like a tornado pulling him into the air. Nefarius would make them dream these bad dreams trying to stop their journey. The 3 all had a near death experience which transported them to the magickal world.
