I love this book! One of the first alternate history/alternate universe books I read. It set me up to love for that subgenre.
Reread September 14, 1980.

Enjoyed this book quite a lot. More imaginative that a lot of best sellers.
Off to read more Chalker.

I'm a sucker for framed tales, as well as for morrality in my fiction. This book contains plenty of both. It's thoughtful, yet easy to read, with an interesting[return]and fun plot and characters. The message, on power and society, is a powerful one. The point it makes isn't new, and I'm sure it's been made many times[return]before in fiction, but this is still an original take and worth the read.
