The Purgatory Zone

Ravi Shannon didn't fit. He ignored all the proper social adjustment techniques, rejected the telepathic communion that bound all of Zen Richelem together in harmony — and worst of all, he denied that there was anything wrong with any of this. So they let him have his way. They granted Shannon passage in the Time Van to the Earth of his choice, to live the kind of life he thought he should be living. But they didn't warn him that his new world might prove as confining as the old, and that no new reality could provide something lacking in himself. * Cover art by Don Maitz
