This is a story about Red, his super-computer named either "Flowers of Evil" or "Leaves of Grass" (he has owned them both), and a great highway stretching far into the past and future. While trying to avoid a pack of 10 assassination attempts, we meet Red and his friends from all possible pasts and all possible futures. Zealazny also does an interesting trick in this book of Chapters 1 and 2. Chapter 1 is a contiguous storyline about Red. Chapter 2 is about everyone else. It's a very interesting technique and it just makes the story a little more enjoyable. I really liked this book and I hope you will too!

Zelazny's classic time story. The highway stretches forever and you can pass yourself on it if you aren't careful. Fantastic!!
