Nightglider roamed a mysterious world. Robot cleaning machines patrolled the abandoned corridors, and mechanical servants presided over empty restaurants that echoed to the sounds of Muzak. This was the giant Hotel, where human beings had regressed to sav¬agery and tribes of cannibals hunted one another with finely honed steak knives. The outside world had long since been forgotten. The hugeness of the Hotel had become the entire known universe.
Somewhere in its thousands of floors was the Tropical Lagoon Room--a man-made par¬adise where artificial fish swam through the crystal-clear water and piña coladas never stopped flowing. Here, the men were bronzed by ultraviolet tanning lamps, and the women were easy.
But before he could reach this legendary leisure zone, Nightglider must fight his epic battle with Big Knife; and even after that, there would be the mysterious Hotel Mind to contend with. This giant computer, monitor¬ing the entire labyrinth of rooms and elevator shafts, had a mission in mind for Nightglider--a mission that promised to uproot him from paradise and plunge him into strangeness beyond even the Hotel itself.
