"The Gates of Creation", (1966) -- World of Tiers #2 de P. J. Farmer -- A muito esperada seqüência d'O Construtor de Universos (Argonauta n° 161) '-' Há milhares de anos atrás, os Deuses serviram-se de drogas, da tecnologia, do hipnotismo e de psicotécnica para viver sem dormir. Os corpos permaneciam frescos e vigorosos, os olhos límpidos, durante meses. O espírito, porém, tinha por vezes quebras. E eram tomados por alucinações, por furia incontida e de um desmedido sentido de perdição Alguns perdiam para sempre a razão e tinham de ser mortos ou encarcerados.

'Wolff-Jadawin, demigod in Earthman's guise and Lord of the World of the Tiers, opened his eyes to see the symbol of the Master-Lord Urizen floating below the ceiling. The summons from the cruelest of the universe-makers was direct and urgent. Jadawin's beautiful wife had been abducted and held captive by the satanic Urizen. To redeem her, Jadawin was required to enter the many-leveled universe constructed by Urizen for his personal torment. Joined by several of his siblings, without his extra-human powers, forced to venture through world after booby-trapped world to storm the gates of creation itself!'
