Timefall
by James Kahn
This is the third book in Kahn’s New World trilogy, but the hero Joshua
doesn’t know about the post-apocalyptic fantasy adventures of World Enough, and
Time (Book I) and Time’s Dark Laughter (Book II). Could this be a prequel?
Well, sort of. Time is cyclic and a previous version of Joshua has left him a message
that leads Joshua of our world, wife of our world, and millionaire of our world to a lost
city in the Amazon where the people think Joshua is their god arisen. Oh, and there are
tunnels to different times and a circuitous but definite, supramundane possibility that
the entire cyclical universe is going to end (or maybe never even exist in the first
place).
The 2014 release of the book includes new material.
We hurried him into the den, plugged in the skull, gave him a demonstration on the wall,
showed him the composite map we’d constructed: the rivers, the road, the city.
