Allow me to insert a small spelling correction here. I have, at this very moment, a copy of volume 10 in my grubby mitt. On the back cover it is described as the grand finale of "The biggest science fiction dekalogy" ever written. A small footnote helpfully explains (presumably for the benefit of the linguistically challenged) that a dekalogy is a group of 10 volumes. Having ground to a halt after, IIRC, volume 2, I doubt if I'll ever get round to reading it.

Even Proust didn't reach 10 volumes with ÃÃâ€*’â‚ ¬ la recherche du temps perdu.
