There is no compromising in this long, hectic, chockerblock, fantasy novel from a doyenne of the genre. A computer cyberg - the Banus -which has the ability 'to take any situation and persons given it, introduce them into a field of theta-space, and then enact... a series of scenes based on these people and this situation', is working to its own agenda and thereby pitting the viciously determined rulers of the universe against their subjects. It's a demanding read, pulling in page after page of challenging ideas that'll require a doughty readership.
