When Lee Dritson awakes on 7-22, he`s not too sure what to expect, whether green skies, strange all-knowing Mrs. Robinsons, or guest lectures from the Venerable or even the Honorable, Bede, or any combination of these, on any given 7-22... and if there`s something he should be remembering, just on the tip of his... memory? Understanding? Well, luckily there`s a few folks around to help him write the thoughts. "...this story doesn`t just move, it sprints and red-shifts, and then backtracks sometimes in the damnedest way you`ve ever seen. There`s a smartass computer who could be HAL`s clownish second cousin; there are dungeons; there are torturers; there is torture (but not all what you`d expect); whether or not there is romance is something I`m still not sure of, so that`ll be your call; and, yes, Tazmanian tigers. Very important." (from the introduction by Gary A. Braunbeck).
