From the back cover:

It leads from nowhere to nowhere, the mysterious world-spanning structure on which everyone seems to live. John Orr was rescued from the sea, devoid of personality or memory. All he knows is the bridge, his persistent dreams of war, and his desire for the Chief Engineer Arrol's daughter, Abberlaine...

In my own opinion: Chapters of lucidity punctuated with chapters of the surreal come together in a nice, coherent finish. This is one of those books that is best the first read. It loses a bit of the magic when you know what it's all about.
