Here’s the set-up:

Exiled to the most secure prison in the realms for a crime he really, certainly, undoubtedly did commit, Fenix must overcome the amnesia all convicts are magically infected with to survive long enough to enact his forgotten plan for escape.
All prisoners have their memory wiped when they arrive, no matter the being, creature or monster they may have been. Most skills are lost and only instinct remains. Fenix’s instinct is survival, and an overpowering need to escape, somehow driven by the slimmest of chances that he can…

The prison is an amalgamation of landscapes smacked together hodgepodge in its own pocket dimension, each piece of it floating around the giant creature that carries it through space and time. There is no escape because there is no way out.
The door only drops people in.
It is the cosmic penal colony where the worst beings in the universe spend their life sentences.
If you do not get executed, you get sent here, which means someone really wanted you to suffer.
Fenix has a plan, or he did before he was imprisoned, the problem is that he must regain his memories quickly enough to make his plan work for him.

The writing is beautiful and arresting, and the characters are very compelling. Alan Brickett will catch your attention — your full attention –and have you following his characters till the end.
