β¦ Synopsis
The planet Polish science fiction master Marek S. Huberath describes in βNest of Worldsβ Nest of Worlds takes place on a planet that resembles our own, with a few important exceptions: Every 35 years, residents must move to a new βLandβ; each a rigid caste society based on hair color, the order different in each one. Each person bears a secret name that presages the manner of their eventual deaths. And time passes relatively more slowly the further one gets from the planetβs surface. The book follows a couple, Gavein Throzz and Ra MahleinΓ©, as they move to the Land of Davabel, where a strange epidemic of deaths follows in Gavein's wake. As he struggles to solve the mystery, keep his ailing wife alive, and to survive his newfound status as the incarnation of Death, he discovers a book titled βNest of Worldsβ β populated by characters busy reading their own versions of βNest of Worlds,β and so on and so on β which may hold the key.
