Each of the three is about eight thousand words: the total length is that of a short novella.\u003cbr\u003eThe annotations are footnotes. There is also a chart at the end and a bibliography.\u003cp\u003e\"Under the Moons of Jizma\" first appeared in the magazine \u003ci\u003eInterzone 110\u003c\/i\u003e in 1996, beginning the strange mash-up tale of Edgar Rice Burroughs and William S.
