DEDICATION: "For Roger Zelazny, The Golden Spinner.
My thanks to J.T. Edson, author of the Dusty Fog sagas, for his kind
permission to integrate the Texas Fogs with the British Foggs. --Philip
José Farmer."
COVER
TEXT:
The lavalite
world is a world of slow but constant change. Here mountains rise from
plains, or sink into rifts; new oceans form as vast hollows collapse
and seas rush in. There is only one escape from this world where the
very landscape moves. The gateway to other universes is in the palace
of the Lord Urthona. Paul Janus Finnegan - also known as Kickaha - must
reach it if he is to survive. And he must do so despite Urthona and Red
Orc, the hired thug McKay, flesh-eating vegetation on the move, and
planetary pseudopods...
