It may be pulpy, but damn, that imagery! Vance is fantastic.This one was an improvement and much more fascinating read than Trullion that was the first book in Alastor series. Its unique setting,culture of The Rhunes, the mystery behind the lack of memories for the hero makes it one of the best Vance SF novels. I just wish the ending wasnt so neat, abrupt. I wanted more climax, more Demon Princes ending. Its a book that improves on Trullion on every level. I could have read 400 pages about The Rhunes aversion to eating in public, their different long day

Our man wakes up in a spaceport with amnesia. With some help from the authorities, and a trip to the capital planet of Alastor, he works out where he's from and heads back home to try and work out what happened.It turns out he's a wealthy land owner, but it looks like people are manoeuvring to work things out to their own liking. He seems to have a few enemies, but who drugged him, and who can he trust when he remembers no one.Another good mystery novel from Vance, full of character.
De werken van mijn favoriete schrijver Jack Vance worden opnieuw uitgegeven door Spatterlight Press. Daarvoor moeten ze ter controle gelezen worden. Een klusje waar ik graag aan meewerk en ik heb de Trullion serie op mijn bordje gekregen. Marune is de laatste van de drie.Ik blijf me verbazen over de fantasie die Jack Vance had. Zo ook dit boek. Iemand wordt gevonden op een vreemde ruimtehaven. Hij herinnert zich niets maar blijkt te komen van Marune. Een planeet waar, in een ingewikkeld patroon,
I have read this book many years ago, but I still remember the sense of wonder about the civilizations present in the story.
