4.0 stars. Excellent novel by one of the under-rated masters of science ficiton. Great, original concept and a well-written plot. Recommended.

When you grow up reading books like this, you more easily understand and have patience for, the mind-fracks that shows like LOST and BSG deliver to it's fans. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure that JJ, Ron Moore and "Darlton" (all within a year or two of me in age) are fans of this book, if not, I'm certain they would be.

That title caught my eye like a fish-hook. After reading it, I washooked. I went on to read the whole sprawling crazy series. I became interested in and studied up on several of the real people Farmer fictionalises, particularly Captain Burton.
Of course, Farmer drifted away from the original plot-lines indicated in this book and wandered into all sorts of non-sequiturs. For all that, I love it.
