Incredible tale from one of the most creative science fiction writers I've ever read. Two problems with it, One, I thought it was written as a self-standing novel and not necessarily intended only as a part One. Two, the very ending where the author draws upon The Wizard of Oz (scene where the city of Oz comes into view across fields of poppies) to set up the final approach to the time tombs is totally out of place.
