A
PRIVATE
COSMOS

The prize-winning science-fiction writer Roger Zelazny writes:


"Philip Jose Farmer... can be stark, dark, smoky, bright, and any color of the emotional spectrum.  He has a fascinating sense of the Sacred and the Profane.  Put quite simply, he arouses awe.  He has the talent and the skill to handle the sacred objects every writer must touch in order to convert the reader, in that timeless, spaceless place called Imagination."

In A PRIVATE COSMOS, the third book about the World of Tiers, that other space-time continuum manufactured by THE MAKER OF UNIVERSES (Ace Book F- 367), Farmer takes up the adventures of the heroic rogue Kickaha.  It takes place shortly after the astonishing events of THE GATES OF CREATION (Ace Book F-412), but is an unique science-fiction experience on its own.  As Zelazny says in his introduction:

"Philip José Farmer is special. . . . Read his story and see what I mean."

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
