Set in the 'middle-distant future', the story concerns a man who was found frozen in a cryogenic chamber on a distant planet and brought back to Earth. On Earth he is troubled by missing periods from his memory and a E.E.G. reveals something lurking in the background of his mind.

This is imaginative SF by a writer capable of great heights. The story is fast paced, the prose concise yet descriptive. The description of the lead character's understanding and coping with of his situation well written and engaging to the point of making the reader care for his plight.

The concepts included herein make this book all the better. In this book we have houses that are sentient and programmed to serve the best interest of the occupant - if the occupant wants to be elsewhere, the house has the ability to fly to anywhere in the world. All the cars fly, so that the roads are not as well maintained as now - why would they need to be. And my personal favourite. The Postalgraph! From the description it is a fax machine, but I think postalgraph is much better. And the idea that the morning paper arrives on the device was a good touch.

All in all, I don't think you would be disappointed with this book.
