Book description
Wolff-Jadawin, demigod in Earthman's guise, and Lord of the Planet of
Many Levels, opened his eyes to see the symbol of the Master Lord,
Urizen, floating below the ceiling. The summons of the Cruellest of the
Universe-makers was direct and urgent. Jadawin's beautiful wife had been
abducted and held captive by the satanic Urizen In this uniquely amazing
adventure, contrived by Urizen, Jadawin was required to enter the
many-levelled universe that had been purposely constructed for his
torment and possible destruction. Only through crossing the Gates of
Creation could Jadawin redeem his bride, as he ventured through world
after brutal world in an attempt to outfox the Master Lord's
diabolically booby-trapped planets. Philip José Farmer (1918 - 2009)
Philip José Farmer was born in Indiana in 1918. Although he once said
he resolved to become a writer in the fourth grade, it wasn't until 1952
that his first SF was published - the novella 'The Lovers', which won
him the Hugo Award for Most Promising New Author. Although best known
for his Riverworld sequence, beginning with the Hugo Award-winning To
Your Scattered Bodies Go, Farmer also pioneered the use of sexual and
religious themes in SF and wrote several novels reworking the lore of
celebrated pulp heroes such as Tarzan and Doc Savage. He also wrote the
tongue-in-cheek Venus on the Half-Shell using the pseudonym 'Kilgore
Trout', a character who appeared in several Kurt Vonnegut novels. Philip
José Farmer won three Hugos, a World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement
and the Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master Award. He died in 2009.
