The World of Tiers is a science fiction and fantasy series that Philip Jose Farmer began in 1965 with The Maker of Universes. The premise involves pocket universes, each one an artificial world created by an immortal being called a Lord. The first books follow Robert Wolff, an ordinary man who stumbles into one of these tiered worlds and gets drawn into conflicts between the Lords.
The series expanded over twelve entries through 1993, growing in scope as Farmer explored different pocket universes and the power dynamics between their creators. The books blend science fiction concepts with the feel of classic adventure fiction, moving quickly through exotic settings and escalating dangers. Kickaha, a human trickster character who thrives in the Lords’ worlds, became one of Farmer’s most popular creations.
