The original idea proposed by an editor was to have a book where each chapter was written by a different author. That project fell apart, but Piers Anthony and Philip José Farmer later decided they wanted to salvage something from it by morphing it into a two-person collaboration, where the two alternated chapters, without revealing who wrote which chapters.
