Frank Kelly Freas’ cover for the 1st US editionįrom the back cover: “Herbert W.A further volume, Y onder Comes the Other End of Time, appeared in 1986.Īnd the Diane and Leo Dillon cover is gorgeous. I finally own all four published in the 70s- The Communipaths (1970), Furthest (1971), At the Seventh Level (1972), and Star-Anchored, Star-Angered (1979). While not blown away by the book, I remained intrigued enough to track down the rest of the volumes. Initial Thoughts: Back in 2013 I reviewed Suzette Haden Elkin’s At the Seventh Level (1972), part of a loose sequence of novels that feature Trigalactic Intelligence Service agent Coyote Jones and his voyages to various worlds. But suddenly the answers began to come, and he found that this planet named Furthest held more strangeness than he could ever have imagined…” The boy’s sister had been sentenced to Erasure, and he wanted Coyote Jones to take the fugitive girl in and hide her.Īgainst his judgement, Jones agreed, and thereby became a criminal on a world he didn’t understand. Jones was permitted to live on the planet, but the natives were so wary of him that he could uncover nothing-until he chanced into a personal crisis faced by his young Furthest assistant.
His mission: to find out why the total body of data about Furthest showed the world’s inhabitants to be absolutely average down to the last decimal place. Diane and Leo Dillon’s cover for the 1st editionįrom the back cover: “Coyote Jones, agent for the Tri-Galactic Intelligence Service, had been sent to a planet so unimaginably distant from the rest of the Federation that it bore the descriptive name Furthest.
