Publisher's summary

A classic time-travel story. The settlers and tourists on Azlaroc are trapped in an ageless void during Veilfall, when shimmering rays of pure energy fall on the planet and create a time pocket from which there is no escape.

©1978 Fred Saberhagen (P)2012 Audible, Inc.

Genuinely Original Setting

I tried this one because I've read many of Saberhagen's works and he doesn't disappoint. The set up for Azlaroc is one of a kind, and the story, characters, and plot twists depend on the unusual set up.

Classic hard sf. It has a lot of fun ideas

What did you love best about The Veils of Azlaroc?

It comes off as being a little convoluted. I'm still not sure just what a veil is exactly.
It's so full of interesting pictures and ideas I think it's a good read.

Any additional comments?

This book is like a big salad with every item from the salad bar all mixed up and your not sure what the dressing is but it tastes fine I guess.
