The Man in the Tree

The Man in the Tree is a novel in which a giant has the ability to twist probability worlds, allowing him to duplicate anything by taking a copy of something from another world.^[1]

Dave Langford reviewed The Man in the Tree for White Dwarf #67, and stated that "Nicely written, but it provokes nagging questions. Why giantism and psychic power when either alone could carry the novel? Why such uninspired use of the hero's special talent (which tends to boil down to routine healings and conjuring)? Why, with an intelligent enemy hot on his trail, does he go on public view as a giant in a carnival? These are deep waters, Watson."^[1]
