You mentioned the Franson novel of similar name. That was odd in that,
to me anyway, it read like the sequel to some other book that doesn't

subspace connecting roads between worlds, the "waybeasts" that provide
travel, and such.

Franson wrote a second book in the series in 2018: Sphinx Daybreak.
I have not read it.
