Captives Of The Flame | 
so-so(1963) This is Delany's second novel, first in his “Fall of the Towers“ trilogy. It's a Dying-Earth style pulp adventure and a very accessible one, given the reputation Delany earned with his later work. It's fine for what it is but most interesting for how it hints at the future Delany, especially with a surreal climactic chapter in which the heroes pursue the villain across space under the influence of mutant moss.
