Publisher's Blurb – Lower Cover
'The years passed. Thousands of years.

A civilization of unique complexity evolved on Majipoor.

There were problems, of course . . .'

MAJIPOOR!

A massive world of adventure, romance and danger. A place where dreams can soothe the restless or flay the minds of the guilty. Where humans, aliens and natives live in a shifting, uneasy alliance and where two great men rule over all. No matter who bears the title, there is always a Coronal and always a Pontifex, forever miles apart, forever striving to maintain the balance of their far-flung civilisation.

Here, collected for the first time, are the final tales of Majipoor.

From the earliest legends of the Shapeshifters to an untold mystery late in the reign of Valentine Pontifex, the seven stories in this collection expand upon and flesh out the remarkable world that Robert Silverberg has created. Spanning a decade of writing from one of the masters of science fiction, this collection is both a fantastic introduction for those new to Majipoor and a welcome return for those who have visited before.

'Where Silverberg goes, the rest of science fiction will follow tomorrow'
ISAAC ASIMOV
