'Quinjin, the narrator of The Continent Of Lies, is a cephapple reviewer. In the far future, cephapples - or dreambeans, as they are popularly known - are the ultimate entertainment medium: once digested they produce hallucinations so powerful that for consumers it seems as though they are actually experiencing the adventure programmed into the apple. Such power is dangerous, as is confirmed by the appearance of an anonymously-produced dreambeam, The Lier-in-Wait, which provides an experience so terrifying that everybody who has consumed it is left incurably insane, muttering over and over again thie inexplicable phrase, "My only God is Goth." After Quinjin's own daughter is given The Lier-in-Wait, the critic becomes involved in a quest to find and destroy first the tree programmed to grow the deadly cephapple, and then its evil creator. It is a quest which takes him not only to exotic distant planets, but also into the hidden recesses of his own mind. The Continent Of Lies is an immensely inventive and enjoyable extravaganza, by turns humorous and frightening. It establishes James Morrow as an exciting new name in science fiction.' 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Fiction, Modern First Editions.; Science Fiction.
