About this ebook

“Vivid and elliptical... If you've ever asked yourself what would have happened if Philip Marlowe had been Odysseus... here is a clue to the answer.”

—New Worlds 

THE HUGO AWARD-WINNING FIRST NOVEL EVER WRITTEN BY THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE CHRONICLES OF AMBER! 

Conrad Nomikos has a long, rich personal history that he'd rather not talk about. And, as Arts Commissioner, he's been given a job he'd rather not do. Escorting an alien grandee on a guided tour of the shattered remains of Earth is not something he relishes-especially when it is apparent that this places him at the center of high-level intrigue that has some bearing on the future of Earth itself! 

"Roger Zelazny [was] the compleat New Wave author, so daring he could pen nothing without perturbing some creaky icon... so strong a writer, so moving in the sweep of his plots and imagery."—David Brin

Ratings and reviews

Zelazny is my all time favourite sci do writer this is typical of his multi layered stories takes a little getting used to his style sometimes difficult but always rewarding I need to reread most of stuff several times to get a grasp of the complexity of the plots and messages therein

Great, great book. Mediocre digital edition. Typos, formatting issues. The book deserves better than a scan-ocr-post job. Care a little, ok? Buy this one someplace else.

Great book, but lots of OCR typos
