According to Zeta, in the Ekcolir Reality, the analogue of Jack Vance wrote a story called 'Zonk's Tomb' about the adventures of two IPCC police officers. That story has similarities to parts of what was published as Araminta Station in the Final Reality. Apparently the death of a young woman at Pogan's Point (where much of the action in 'Zonk's Tomb' takes place) caused such a reaction from fans in the Ekcolir Reality that Vance's "twin brother" Jack wrote a follow-up story called 'Return to Pogan's Point' in which the young woman (named Lilia) was rescued from Pogan's Point by a time-traveling IPCC agent.
