If the concept of Mark Twain teaming up with the infamous King John and the gallant Cyrano de Bergerac in building an industry-based republic all the while fighting back Malcolm X with his nation of black zealots, and the armies of warlord Tokugawa Ieyasu, doesn’t blow your mind, there must be something seriously wrong with you.
Still, the book is just a second installment in the epic series, and, like the first, it still feels like a prelude to a bigger story where the real genius of Philip Jose Farmer lies (hopefully).
| Positive: | Negative: |
| Fascinating setting of all of mankind being resurrected on a huge alien planet at the same time | Still feels like a prelude to a grander story |
| Interesting, likable, relatively profound characters | Still not clear what the main story is supposed to be all about |
| Full of cool political machinations, and exciting twists | |
| Enlightening on the personality of many historical leaders | |
| Cool, sinister atmosphere of a mysterious planet-scale conspiracy hangs over the story |
