Along the way, he hooks up, and he meets a scoundrel. So his little adventure is by way of penance. Nevertheless, he feels guilty and ashamed of losing his cool during an intense jungle hunt rather than behaving honourably. In many respects, this is an example of short fiction done simply and well.ĭekkeret’s ambition is to be the best knight he can be. There isn’t too much lurking beneath the surface-but Silverberg manages to demonstrate that this isn’t always a bad thing. All you need to do is follow Dekkeret’s journey to Suvrael and into the dangerous desert. It isn’t necessary to grasp the dynamics of Majipoor or its interesting power structure. The Desert of Stolen Dreams is a fairly accessible entry into this universe. I always seem to have something else to read or do…. It’s just that I’ve never had the time or inclination to get into the series through any of its entry points. It’s not that I don’t want to read them-in fact, I am certain I have read at least one, but don’t ask me which one…. I exist in an uneasy state of ignoring Robert Silverberg and the Majipoor stories.
