About the Book

It all started with a perfectly ordinary classified ad:

"Gentleman from Mars, age 43, quiet, studious, cultured, wishes to exchange bodies with similarly inclined Earth gentleman; August 1- September 1. References exchanged. Brokers. Protected."

What he didn't know was that more than one person had claims on the body of Ze Kraggash, and that before he was finished he would see more strange sights – through even stranger eyes – than he had ever imagined; that in his desperate struggle for continued corporeal existence he would fall prey to Metaphoric Deformation, the limitations of the Set Expansion Factor, and at last descend/ascend/extend to the strange and unexplainable reaches of the Twisted World – for the ultimate MINDSWAP!
