The Compleat Traveller in Black – John Brunner

These stories are about a man ‘who has many names but only a single nature’ and his travels through a mythical land just outside of regular time. He’s been tasked with getting rid of chaos.

I think this is most easily compared to the Jack Vance’s Dying Earth stories. There’s a similar vibe to them, although these deal much more directly with the consequences of actions. Definitely interesting. I’m not sure they’d be everyone’s cup of tea.
