Summary
There stood Roland, deep beneath a static, dying civilization, fiercely ready to destroy it?and himself, if need be?for love of Frances. Yet a question nagged him. Who was she?and who was he?
His consciousness filtered in slowly. It stirred like roiled water, and the first lucid cycle of cause and effect in associative memory was beginning. There was a kind of awful searching loneliness?but that was broken by the pleasantly soft voice of the woman who asked, “Is he waking?”
