Wolfe's comments from the Introduction to Starwater Strains

"Golden City Far closes this book you're holding, as it does Al Sarrantonio's Flights. It's about dreams, high school, and finding love, which is as good a recipe for a story as I've ever found."

Summary

A high-school-student has recurring dreams of heroic fantasy that begin to spill over into real life.

Analysis

• There seem to be parallels between this story and the later Knight and Wizard books.
