The second book in the Dancers at the End of Time series

Volume II of "Dancers At the End of Time." Far beneath an ancient Earth is a youthful paradise stuck in Time, ruled by a robot of ageless wisdom, invaded by brigands fearsome and foul. They pursue the lovesick Jherek Carnelian to the fin-de-siècle London of yesterday and thence to the lurid Paleozoic seas. Ahead to the final days of the Universe in a mighty drama of hallucinatory magnificence - where immortality is assured, science is sexual, and sex is megamorphous. At the world's end, all love is timeless, & all age-old disputes irrelevant. Jherek Carnelian, however, is in danger of taking reality too seiously, & grows tired of his pleasures. Perhaps a hunt for aliens could lift his spirits. Or better yet, a journey through time. Ah, yes--the past! So complicated & strange.especially with its scarcity of time machines for a return trip! Featuring: Mrs. Amelia Underwood, for whom the Hero at the End of Time risks all
