THE BRILLIANT NOVEL THAT LAUNCHED THE VARLEY PHENOMENON
The invaders came in 2050...They did not kill anyone outright. they said they came on behalf of the intelligent species of Earth—dolphins and whales. The Invaders quietly destroyed every evidence of technology, then peacefully departed, leaving behind plowed ground and sprouting seeds. In the next two years, ten billion humans starved to death.
The remnants of humanity that survived relocated to the moon and other planets. But they are not alone in their struggle—someone or something, somewhere in deep space, is sending them advanced scientific data via the Ophiuchi Hotline. And by the twenty-fifth century, the technological gifts from the Hotline—especially its biological and medical solutions—have created a world unlike any ever known or imagined...
John Varley is the author of Slow Apocalypse, the Gaean Trilogy (Titan, Wizard, and Demon), Steel Beach, The Golden Globe, Red Thunder, Mammoth, Red Lightning, and Rolling Thunder. He has won both the Nebula and Hugo awards for his work.

Soft cover. Etat : Near Fine. Cover Art: Uncredited (illustrateur). © 1977: A stand-alone novel by John Varley. 1st printing of 1994 paperback edition:- Synopsis: Following the effortless capture of Earth by vastly superior aliens, humanity was left to fight for existence on the Moon and other lumps of airless rock. Then the Hotline was intercepted off Pluto: a constant stream of data, from the direction of the star 70 Ophiuchi, facilitating the development of amazing new technologies. Someone really should have sent a response. Perhaps the mysterious senders would have appreciated a show of thanks. For now, four hundred years later, the latest Hotline transmission is a bill for services rendered. It should hardly matter to Lilo, since she's been caught experimenting with human DNA and sentenced to permanent death for crimes against humanity. But Lilo is rescued by the maverick Boss Tweed, ex-President of Luna. Only to find herself - and several illegal clones of herself - hurtling from different directions towards a long-delayed confrontation with humanity's alien conquerors and its equally alien helpers:- Review(s): "Stunningly imaginative and brilliantly enjoyable, 'The Ophiuchi Hotline' is the novel which, at one bound, established John Varley in the forefront of modern science fiction":- (original cost £4.99).
