Axiom: If a science fiction novel includes a race with the capability of designing worlds, it will inevitably happen that the climax of the story reveals that Earth is one of their creations.
Ok, two more novels to go in this series. I don't know if I can make it ... the first thing that happens in the book after this one is that the protagonists (who flee their world at the end of the A Private Cosmos) find themselves in 1960-something California, where they get in a fight with Hell's Angels (erm, sorry, they are actually called 'Lucifer's Louts') and then picked up by a bus full of a stoner hippie band called "King Gnome and the Bad Eggs". I put down the book after that...I don't know if I'm brave enough to pick it up again tonight.
I wonder if reading such books after Proust can cause damage to my mind...
