I will see if the library has this one. I have enjoyed some of her
previous works in this universe.

You mentioned the Franson novel of similar name. That was odd in that,
to me anyway, it read like the sequel to some other book that doesn't
exist. There was an entire prior plot of how the Earthman protagonist
and his "flatcat" buddy, make their was to the worlds of the odd
subspace connecting roads between worlds, the "waybeasts" that provide
travel, and such.
