This book is the sequel to the excellent Slaves of Sleep. This book was published more than ten years after the first one, and you can really tell how the author’s style has changed. This book does some things better than the first one, but also does some things worse. Overall, the quality is equal, though.

Jan is older, and his character has changed a bit. He obtains a magical artifact that allows him to switch bodies with anyone. He gets into many adventures with that, and I like the juxtaposition of the fantasy magical item with post-WW2 society.

The author made a psychiatrist the villain, and the villain becomes a jinn in the Arabian Nights world. So now the reader has an explanation of where the jinn come from in this story, and why there seems to be less people in the Arabian Nights world than in our world. Tiger is now an anti-colonialist, and finally liberates humanity and sends all of the jinn to live in the desert. This ending is better than the one in the first book.
