Title: Yawn...What have I been reading for the last 20 pages?
Review: Cured me of insomnia. It was torture getting through all four volumes of this incomprehensible story of a very far future dying Earth with aliens and cyborgs traveling back and forth through time and all kinds of goofy allusions to mythologies of every ilk and ancient abandoned spaceports used as fortress cities and...Well, you get the picture --- not very original stuff, and to make matters worse, a very pretentious writing style --- so get out your dictionary, you're going to need it several times on just about every page (Hey, I have a Ph.D., so I ain't dumb...). And, to paraphrase: Yes, it's a hard (and exceedlingly long) read --- and ,in the end, not worth the effort. It's "Sci Fi" for "literary" people who really don't like sci fi, but, if they did, this is the kind of stuff they'd like it to be...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...Save your time and money and read Jack Vance instead. Now, there's a for real Dying Earth!
