Synopsis

This science fiction novel experiments with the theory that time runs backwards and the past, rather than the future, lies in store for mankind. The central character, trained as an assassin, is haunted by a phantom-like woman who symbolizes a future more distant than his own. Brian Aldiss has been the recipient of several Hugo and Nebula Awards in the USA, a Kurd Lasswitz Award from West Germany, a Jules Verne Award from Sweden and a British Science Fiction Award. His most recent books are the "Helliconia" trilogy and "Trillion Year Spree: The History of Science Fiction", which won the 1987 Hugo Award as the best work of non-fiction.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Winner of two Hugo Awards, one Nebula Award, and named a Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America, Brian W. Aldiss has, for over fifty years, continued to challenge readers' minds with literate, thought-provoking, and inventive fiction.In the year 2093, human consciousness has expanded to the point that man can now travel to the past using a technique called "mind-traveling." Artist Edward Bush returns from a nearly three-year mind-travel to find that his government has crumbled and society is now under the leadership a new regime. Given Bush's excellent ability to mind-travel, he is recruited by the regime to track down and assassinate a scientist whose ideas threaten to topple everything they've built.This ebook includes an introduction by the author.
