But as I stood at the window, I knew that this could not be my mother planet. - (Tarnsman of Gor, Chapter 2, Sentence #27)

My first thought was that this must be the earth and the sun's apparent size an illusion. Obviously, I was breathing, and that meant necessarily an atmosphere containing a large percentage of oxygen. It must be the earth. But as I stood at the window, I knew that this could not be my mother planet. The building in which I found myself was apparently one of an indefinite number of towers, like endless flat cylinders of varying sizes and colors, joined by narrow, colorful bridges that arched lightly between them. I could not lean far enough outside the window to see the ground. In the distance I could see hills covered with some type of green vegetation, but I could not determine whether or not it was grass. - (Tarnsman of Gor)
