Dancers at the Edge of Time is a novel about the gods of the old world and the people of the new. The heroes of this book are people—though there isn’t much truly human in them. They are all-powerful, and if they face death, they can easily be reborn. And most of all, they don’t really live—they rather play at life. They play at love, at suffering, they play anything that keeps them occupied. Endless entertainment is the meaning of their lives.
