The Lead In: It couldn’t go on forever, I grok it is over.
The 411 on the 55: Well, now even Jubal has joined the crowd and Mike sits him down to discuss his plans for the future. After going over the nature of changing the world and such, Mike comes up with a solution. A mob has gathered outside the hotel they are at and Mike goes out and lets himself be martyred, Jesus-style. The gang is all happy, content that Mike hasn’t died, but moved on. Last chapter finds Mike working for the “Old Ones.”
Line of the Day: “I am God. Thou art God...and any jerk I remove is God, too.” pg 421
The 20/20: Boring, dated book. An example of bad science fiction. I believe this book has a reputation because people have forgotten just how bad it is.
Fact on the Fiction: Iron Maiden has a single by the same name off the album “Somewhere in Time.” The Eddie drawing is based off Clint Eastwood’s “The Man With No Name.” Wikipedia
