| Summary: | Foppish young Filidor Vesh is a wastrel ne'er-do-well content with his shallow amusements. Then a simple errand for his uncle, the vaguely all-powerful Archon of Old Earth, sends Filidor on a frenetic odyssey across a planet speckled with eccentric nations. Harried at every step by the irascible dwarf Gaskarth and frequently in peril from wild beasts, unfriendly mobs, and a sinister thaumaturge who shows an unusually enthusiastic interest in his luggage, Filidor makes his reluctant pilgrim's progress. And awaiting him at journey's end is an encounter with an ancient and possibly apocalyptic evil. |
