Yoshio Kawashita is a great warrior until aliens whisk him away during World War II. They put him on a desolate planet far from his home, where he is destined to remain forever, leaving him alone in his new hell. Then Anna Nestor appears. This empress does not see planets as homes for their inhabitants; she sees exploitable real estate. Anna Nestor views Kawashita as a sideshow attraction until they fall in love. But the two lovebirds cannot be free until they find out who kidnapped Kawashita and why.

Plucked from a sinking aircraft carrier, dumped on a planet populated only by androids, the fighter pilot Yoshio Kawashita soon learned that his alien abductors had taken charge of his life. He had a world of his own, he could create history and indulge any fantasy - yet all Yoshio had wanted was to die fighting for his country; and what's a world when there's no one to share it? Now, suddenly, he is again among humans. But to his rescuers, World War II is a half-forgotten memory, four centuries past. And no one can tell Yoshio who has torn him from his time and place. And why:- Review(s): "He explores the very edge of tomorrow and makes you feel what might happen the day after" - David Brin / "A writer of compelling talent" - New Statesman:- (original cost £2.99).

Edges of covers have moderate wear. Spine has moderate reading creases. . Pages are reasonably tanned. *** ABOUT THIS BOOK: Kawashita had passed up the chance to die honourably, to go down with the mortally wounded carrier HIRYU. And when the alien spacecraft plucked him from the sea near Midway, he was sure he'd made the wrong choice: now he would certainly die, but it would be alone and without honour. But the aliens did not kill him. Instead, they gave him a world of his own, a world in which he was supreme master, able to recreate and alter history, to indulge any fantasy. Then suddenly, he was once again amongst humans - for whom World War II was a half-forgotten memory, four centuries past . . . *** Quantity Available: 1.
