"Quite as strange as the central figure are the other characters in the story: the young and fantastic German intellectual, the exiled ancient Russian prince, the broken-down English madam, the lovely blond Swedish girl, Ria's helpful and irrepressible mother, and half a dozen others, including the magnificent golden cat, Sardanapal. It is safe to say that Felix C. Forrest has scored an outstanding success with his first book of fiction. Before the war Mr. Forrest had written extensively in his professional field, but this is his first book of general interest. Born in 1913, the author has lived much of his life abroad. As a very young child, he was taken to Japan, and he still regards the Inland Sea as the most beautiful spot on earth. Later, as readers of this novel will understand, he lived on the Riviera and in the Black Forest. He has also lived in China and in southern England. As a result, he says now that at any given place he is apt to find himself homesick for all the rest of the world." (from the Cordwainer Smith website). Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket .
