Book VI of Philip José Farmer’s Dungeon series. Fleeing from the mysterious creators of the Dungeon, Clive Folliot breaks through to the ninth level suddenly, completely alone. Stranded in a freezing polar wilderness, he faces certain death from the cold but one urgent question drives him onward.  His new surroundings are frighteningly similar to the world Clive left so long ago.  Has he fought through the entire Dungeon only to find that Earth is the ninth and final level? Joined by a monster more horrible and yet more human than anything else he has yet encountered, Clive struggles to find his missing comrades and triumph against the murderous masters of the Dungeon.
